Indonesia has seen a notable increase in naturalization applications from foreigners, with 165 applications submitted in 2024, despite only 20 approvals. This trend marks a shift in Indonesia’s historical stance as a low-volume naturalization destination.
Key Details:
- In 2020, there were 37 naturalization applications; this rose to 69 in 2023.
- A sharp increase occurred in 2024 with 165 applications, but only 20 were approved.
- As of 2025, 147 applications have been submitted, with just two approvals granted.
- Applicants must reside in Indonesia for at least five consecutive years or ten non-consecutive years, secure institutional clearances, and obtain approval from their home country.
This rise in applications, albeit modest compared to countries like the USA or Canada, indicates a growing interest in Indonesian citizenship, reflecting positively on the country’s global perception. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
