We begin from who you are and how you operate: individual obligations, business compliance, or a mixed case (e.g. founder + visa + company).

Tell us your profile (individual or business), visa context, and where income flows from. We’ll reply with the intake checklist and a recommended “clean compliance” path, before you overcomplicate it.

We align the visa route with your work, company, and family plan - not the other way around.

Instead of listing 50+ visa codes, we group options into scenarios people actually face: working remotely, investing via PT PMA, bringing family, hiring staff, or staying longer-term. Each category below bundles several routes behind one clear outcome.

The right visa route depends heavily on whether you already have an entity in Indonesia, plan to set one up, or simply work remotely from abroad. Start with the option closest to your reality.

Message us your nationality, purpose, stay length, and whether you have an Indonesian sponsor / entity. We’ll reply with an intake checklist and the cleanest route for your case.

When we looked at the industry, we saw founders being forced to choose between two bad options:

We are the Strategic Partner for those who want to build a legacy, not just buy a visa. We exist to end the era of "Hidden Fees" and "Bad Advice."

We don't hide regulations behind a paywall. If a law changes, we tell you. We show you the math. We explain the risks. We treat you like a partner, not a cash machine.

We turn down business. If a shortcut keeps you awake at 2 AM worrying about your assets, we won't do it. We only build structures designed to last.

Indonesia is changing. The systems are digital, and the “Wild West” days are over. That excites us. It means honest entrepreneurs can finally build secure, investable legacies here. We aren’t here to just get you “in”.

Answer 2–3 questions and we will recommend a path/service that fits you best, plus an indicative starting budget in USD.
