Naturalization requires five years of continuous or ten years of cumulative lawful residence, and adult applicants must renounce their previous citizenship. Indonesia does not provide full dual citizenship for adults, and investment alone does not shorten the statutory residence period.
According to the sources, Indonesian citizenship is a long-term migration project rather than a quick extension of an investment or work visa. Applicants must first build a lawful residence history and then meet additional conditions, including language requirements and renunciation of their previous citizenship. For Russian nationals, this is especially important because obtaining Indonesian citizenship requires giving up Russian citizenship by the end of the process. The rule matters mainly to people considering Indonesia as a permanent home, not to those planning a temporary relocation.
