2. E32C Ex-Indonesian Citizen Visa (2 Years)
The E32C visa offers a two-year residency, making it a great choice for ex-Indonesian citizens who wish to spend more time in Indonesia. This visa is suitable for those looking to reconnect with family, manage personal matters, or explore business opportunities in the country.
