Thailand Visa for Indonesian Nationals: Non-OA Retirement, LTR, DTV — SKCK Police Certificate, BPJS & TASPEN Pension, and Everything You Need

Indonesia and Thailand are close ASEAN neighbours with deep tourism, business, and cultural ties — Indonesian nationals are among Thailand's largest visitor groups, and a growing number are choosing Thailand for long-term residence. Jakarta to Bangkok is roughly 3 hours direct. This guide covers every visa route.

## Indonesia and Thailand: Close ASEAN Neighbours
Indonesian nationals are among Thailand's most significant visitor groups, and the community here is growing — students at Thai universities, entrepreneurs and professionals in Bangkok, and an emerging retiree presence drawn by shorter flights, competitive costs, and well-developed halal infrastructure (particularly in Bangkok and southern Thailand). Jakarta to Bangkok is roughly 3 hours direct; Bali to Bangkok roughly 3.5–4 hours.
**IDR/THB planning:** current rate roughly 17,900 IDR to the US Dollar (August 2026) — the Rupiah has weakened notably in recent times, so always check the current rate before transferring, given the large nominal figures involved.
- **Non-OA threshold:** 800,000 THB — roughly Rp 432.6 juta (432,600,000 rupiah), at ~33 THB/USD and ~17,900 IDR/USD (August 2026 rates).
**International transfers:** Indonesia has foreign-exchange reporting requirements for large outbound transfers above certain thresholds — confirm current Bank Indonesia (BI) and OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) regulations with your bank (BCA, Mandiri, BRI, BNI, CIMB Niaga) before funding a Thai bank deposit from within Indonesia.
**Thailand entry:** Indonesian passport holders get **30 days visa-exempt** under a separate ASEAN regional arrangement — this is a stable, existing rule, distinct from (and unaffected by) the general 60-day scheme most other nationalities use, which is separately subject to a pending Cabinet-approved cut. Indonesia's 30-day arrangement isn't part of that pending change.

## Four Visa Pathways for Indonesian Nationals
**1. Non-OA Retirement Visa — the classic route (50+)** - Annual renewable; multiple-entry - Financial: 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account, seasoned 3 months before the annual extension, OR 65,000 THB/month income from abroad (roughly Rp 35.2 juta/bulan at current rates) - Health insurance: 40,000 THB outpatient (roughly Rp 21.6 juta) + 400,000 THB inpatient (roughly Rp 216.3 juta) minimum — two separate minimums, not a combined total - SKCK + apostille required (see below) - 90-day reporting (TM47) + annual extension in Thailand
**2. Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa — 10 years** - Wealthy Pensioner (50+): USD 80,000/year income from abroad (roughly Rp 1.432 miliar/tahun), or USD 40,000–80,000/year combined with a USD 250,000 investment in Thailand — realistic for Indonesian professionals and business owners with established overseas income - Full exemption from Thai personal income tax on remitted overseas income under Royal Decree 743 — not a partial deduction, and not the 17% flat rate (that applies only to the separate LTR Highly-Skilled Professional category, on Thai-sourced employment income — a different benefit for a different sub-category, easy to conflate) - 10-year validity; no annual renewal; annual (not 90-day) address reporting
**3. Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) — remote workers** - 5-year validity; 180 days per entry, with one in-country extension of a further 180 days permitted - Financial requirement: a 500,000 THB bank balance (roughly Rp 270.4 juta at current rates) — not an income test, and required regardless of income - No police check required for the DTV — that's specific to the Non-OA route - A strong fit for Indonesian remote professionals and consultants with international or Indonesian-based clients
**4. Thailand Privilege Card** - Five current tiers: Bronze (650,000 THB, 5-year — being withdrawn from sale 30 September 2026, after which Gold at 900,000 THB becomes the entry tier), Gold (900,000 THB, 5-year), Platinum (1,500,000 THB, 10-year), Diamond (2,500,000 THB, 15-year), Reserve (5,000,000 THB, 20-year, invitation-only) - No income or asset requirement — purchasable by anyone

## SKCK (Surat Keterangan Catatan Kepolisian) and Apostille
For the Non-OA, you need the **SKCK**, Indonesia's police clearance certificate, issued by **Polri (Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia)**.
**How to obtain it:** - **Online:** apply via skck.polri.go.id — confirm current process and whether a biometric visit is required for Indonesians residing abroad. - **In person:** at a Polres or Polda office in your domicile area; for overseas/immigration use, Polda or Mabes Polri level is generally recommended — confirm the exact level required with the Royal Thai Embassy Jakarta or Thai Immigration. - **From abroad:** through the Indonesian Embassy Bangkok — confirm current facilitation process directly.
**Apostille — both Indonesia and Thailand are Hague members, but Thailand's own membership isn't in force yet:**
Indonesia acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 5 October 2021, entering into force on 4 June 2022, with **Kemenkumham (Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia)** as the designated apostille authority via the AHU Online portal. But Thailand only acceded on 30 June 2026, and it doesn't enter into force for Thailand until 28 February 2027. **The missing piece is on Thailand's side, not Indonesia's** — an Indonesian apostille alone is not yet accepted for Thai visa purposes. Until Thailand's own accession takes effect, you need the apostilled SKCK legalised at the Royal Thai Embassy Jakarta as well — confirm the current step-by-step process with the Embassy before applying.

## BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, TASPEN, and ASABRI: What Realistically Funds the Non-OA
Indonesia doesn't have a single unified state pension. Which scheme applies depends on your employment sector:
- **BPJS Ketenagakerjaan — JHT (Jaminan Hari Tua):** a mandatory individual provident-fund savings account for formal-sector workers, not a monthly pension. Check your balance via the JMO (Jamsostek Mobile) app. Full JHT balances can realistically fund the bank deposit route for long-career formal employees — withdraw and deposit into a Thai bank account. Withdrawal conditions for those permanently relocating overseas specifically have been revised multiple times — confirm current eligibility directly with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan before relying on this route. - **BPJS Ketenagakerjaan — JP (Jaminan Pensiun):** a separate, newer monthly pension program (since 2015); typical monthly benefits remain modest for most contributors and generally fall well short of the 65,000 THB/month Non-OA income threshold. - **TASPEN:** covers civil servants (PNS/ASN) with a monthly pension; senior long-career officials can approach higher thresholds, and PT Taspen offers overseas payment — confirm current process directly. - **ASABRI:** covers military (TNI) and police (Polri) pensioners, with amounts varying by rank and service length.
**Realistic path for most applicants:** the bank deposit route, funded from JHT withdrawal, savings, or other liquid assets — not the monthly-income route via JP alone, unless you're a senior TASPEN or ASABRI pensioner.

## Indonesia–Thailand Tax
Confirm the current status and coverage of any Indonesia–Thailand double taxation agreement with a tax advisor before emigrating, including how JHT, JP, TASPEN, ASABRI, or investment income remitted to Thailand is treated once you're a Thai tax resident (180+ days per year) under Thailand's Por 161/2566 remittance rules (effective January 2024).
---
## Indonesian Community in Thailand
Growing and diverse — students at Thai universities (particularly Chiang Mai and Bangkok institutions), entrepreneurs and business professionals concentrated around Sukhumvit, and a Muslim community well-served by Bangkok's extensive halal food scene and southern Thailand's Muslim-majority areas (Hatyai, Pattani, Narathiwat). The Indonesian Embassy Bangkok provides full consular services.
---
## Property for Indonesian Nationals in Thailand
Foreign nationals cannot directly own Thai land (Chanote title). Options: condominiums (49% foreign-ownership quota per building, FET Certificate confirming funds wired from outside Thailand in foreign currency), leasehold land (typically structured in 30-year terms, sometimes as sequential renewals) or usufruct, or other legal structures. Nominee arrangements are illegal under the Thai Land Code. Use a certified Thai property lawyer.

Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan — WNI yang Berencana Pindah ke Thailand

Berapa lama WNI bisa tinggal di Thailand tanpa visa?

30 hari, berdasarkan perjanjian regional ASEAN yang terpisah dari skema 60 hari standar yang berlaku untuk sebagian besar kewarganegaraan lain. Ini adalah aturan yang sudah stabil, bukan bagian dari perubahan yang sedang menunggu persetujuan Lembaran Negara Thailand.

Bagaimana cara mendapatkan SKCK untuk visa Non-OA?

Daftar online di skck.polri.go.id, di kantor Polda/Mabes Polri, atau melalui Kedutaan Besar Indonesia di Bangkok. Indonesia adalah anggota Konvensi Hague sejak 2022 — apostille melalui Kemenkumham. Namun keanggotaan Hague Thailand sendiri baru berlaku 28 Februari 2027, jadi saat ini Anda juga memerlukan legalisasi dari Kedutaan Besar Thailand Jakarta.

Does Indonesia have an apostille system for Thai visa documents?

Yes — Indonesia has been a genuine Hague Apostille Convention member since 2022. But Thailand — the destination country — only acceded on 30 June 2026 and it doesn't take effect until 28 February 2027. The missing piece is on Thailand's side. Until then, your apostilled SKCK also needs legalisation at the Royal Thai Embassy Jakarta.

Apakah saldo JHT BPJS Ketenagakerjaan saya bisa digunakan untuk memenuhi syarat deposito bank?

Kemungkinan besar ya. Cek saldo Anda melalui aplikasi JMO (Jamsostek Mobile). Jika saldo JHT Anda mencukupi, Anda dapat mencairkannya lalu mendepositokan jumlah tersebut ke rekening bank Thailand. Aturan pencairan untuk WNI yang menetap secara permanen di luar negeri telah beberapa kali direvisi — konfirmasikan kelayakan terkini langsung dengan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan.

What is the correct bank seasoning period for the Non-OA?

3 months — 800,000 THB must be held in a Thai bank account for 3 months before the annual extension. This is the standard Thailand-wide rule and doesn't vary by nationality.

How do TASPEN and ASABRI pensions work for Thailand relocation?

TASPEN covers civil servants (PNS/ASN) with a monthly pension, payable overseas — senior long-career officials can approach higher thresholds. ASABRI covers military (TNI) and police (Polri) pensioners, with amounts varying by rank and service length. Confirm current overseas-payment procedures directly with PT Taspen or PT Asabri.

Does the DTV offer an income-based alternative to the 500,000 THB balance?

No — the DTV requires a 500,000 THB bank balance regardless of income; there's no income-based alternative. (That savings-or-income structure applies to the Non-OA — 800,000 THB savings or 65,000 THB/month income — not the DTV.)

Apakah ada batasan transfer dana besar dari Indonesia?

Indonesia memiliki persyaratan pelaporan untuk transfer internasional di atas ambang batas tertentu. Konfirmasikan regulasi Bank Indonesia (BI) dan OJK terkini dengan bank Anda (BCA, Mandiri, BRI, BNI) sebelum mentransfer dana untuk rekening Non-OA di Thailand.

What health coverage applies in Thailand?

BPJS Kesehatan isn't accessible from Thailand. For the Non-OA, OIC-approved Thai health insurance is mandatory — 40,000 THB outpatient + 400,000 THB inpatient minimum, two separate figures, not a combined total.

How does Por 161/2566 affect Indonesian nationals?

From January 2024, Thailand taxes foreign-sourced income remitted for Thai tax residents (180+ days/year). Confirm current Indonesia-Thailand DTA status with a tax advisor before relying on treaty relief.

Is there an Indonesian community in Thailand?

Yes — growing, with students, professionals, and entrepreneurs concentrated around Sukhumvit in Bangkok. Halal food and prayer facilities are well established in Bangkok and even more extensive in southern Thailand. The Indonesian Embassy Bangkok provides full consular services.

Can Indonesian nationals own property in Thailand?

Foreign nationals cannot directly own Thai land. Options: condominiums (49% foreign-ownership quota per building, FET Certificate required), leasehold land or usufruct, or other legal structures — nominee arrangements are illegal. Use a certified Thai property lawyer.
