TIMES JABAR, BEKASI – West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham Jabar) held an outreach on the Golden Visa program in Bekasi. This event is a follow-up to the launch of the Golden Visa program by Indonesian President Jokowi some time ago.

The aim is to introduce and facilitate foreign investors and foreign workers (TKA) in taking advantage of investment and work opportunities in Indonesia. Head of West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Masjuno, in his speech said that the Golden Visa program was a very important breakthrough for Indonesia.

"The Golden Visa will not only encourage economic growth, but also open up opportunities to improve other social aspects," he said on Friday 11 October 2024.

Bekasi as Main Target

Masjuno explained that the choice of Bekasi City as the location for the first socialization in West Java was not without reason. Because with many multinational companies operating in the Bekasi industrial area, the Golden Visa program is considered very relevant to attract more foreign investment.

"We hope that with this socialization, more and more foreign investors will be interested in investing their capital in Bekasi and its surroundings," said Masjuno.

What is a Golden Visa?

The Golden Visa is a type of long-term visa that provides various conveniences for foreign citizens (WNA) who want to invest or work in Indonesia. Some of the benefits offered include:

1. Longer stay: Golden Visa holders can stay longer in Indonesia.

2. Service priority: Golden Visa holders will get priority in various services, such as inspections at Immigration Checkpoints (TPI) and services at other government agencies.

3. Ease of investing: This program is designed to facilitate foreign investors in investing their capital in Indonesia.

Furthermore, said Masjuno, this golden visa program is a strategic step by the government to attract foreign investment and accelerate economic growth with the various conveniences offered. "This program is expected to attract the interest of global investors to invest in Indonesia," he said.

In this socialization event, participants consisting of representatives of companies using foreign workers and foreign investors received an in-depth explanation regarding the mechanism for applying for a Golden Visa, the requirements that must be met, as well as the various benefits that can be obtained.

Head of the Golden Visa Team of the Directorate General of Immigration, Wahyu Wibowo, gave an explanation regarding the technical implementation of the Golden Visa.
