Everything You Need to Know About Indonesia’s New PNBP Citizenship Fees
Indonesia will officially implement a new schedule of Non-Tax State Revenue (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak/PNBP) fees for citizenship-related services beginning 1 August 2026. The revised fee structure affects both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals applying for specific citizenship services, marking one of the country’s most significant updates to citizenship administration fees in nearly a decade.
If you’re planning to apply for Indonesian citizenship, obtain citizenship through marriage, or renounce your Indonesian nationality, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming changes.
What Are PNBP Citizenship Fees?
PNBP (Non-Tax State Revenue) refers to government fees collected for public services provided by state institutions. In the context of citizenship, these fees are paid when individuals apply for nationality-related administrative services through the Indonesian government.
The new tariff schedule is regulated under Government Regulation (PP) No. 30 of 2026, which updates fees for several citizenship-related applications
What Has Changed Under Indonesia New Naturalisation Regulation ?
- General naturalization application will cost IDR 75 million per application
- Application for citizenship through marriage to an Indonesia citizen will be charge IDR 25 million
- Certain application involving children of mixed nationality marriages or dual citizens remain subject to a fee od IDR 5 Million
- Former Indonesian citizen will pay IDR 1 Million per application
Who Will Be Affected?
The new PNBP fees apply to several categories of applicants, including:
- Foreign nationals applying for Indonesian citizenship through naturalization.
- Foreign spouses seeking Indonesian citizenship through marriage-based naturalization.
- Indonesian citizens applying to voluntarily renounce their Indonesian citizenship.
For most visitors to Indonesia—including tourists, business travelers, and holders of temporary visas—the new regulation will have no direct impact.
Why is Indonesia Increasing These Fees ?
According to government officials, the previous citizenship fees had remained unchanged for almost ten years. The revised tariffs are intended to better reflect current administrative costs while supporting improvements in public service delivery and citizenship administration. Authorities have also emphasized that the changes affect only a relatively small number of applicants each year.
Does This Affect Visas or Immigration Services? No
The new regulation only concerns citizenship-related services. It does not change fees or procedures for:
- Visa on Arrival (VoA)
- Electronic Visa (e-Visa)
- Tourist visas
- Business visas
- Stay permits
- Indonesian passports
- Regular immigration services
Travelers planning a holiday or business trip to Indonesia can continue following the existing immigration regulations.
What Should Applicants Do?
If you intend to submit a citizenship application after 1 August 2026, you should:
- Review the updated PNBP fee schedule before applying.
- Prepare for the revised payment requirements.
- Ensure all required documents are complete.
- Follow the latest application procedures issued by the Indonesian government.
Checking the latest information before filing your application can help prevent delays or unexpected costs.
When do the new fees take effect?
The revised PNBP citizenship fees become effective on 1 August 2026.
Do these fees affect tourists?
No. Tourists and most foreign visitors are not affected because the regulation applies only to citizenship-related services.
Why were the fees increased?
The Indonesian government states that the previous tariffs had not been updated for nearly a decade and required adjustment to better reflect administrative costs.
Does Indonesia allow dual citizenship?
Indonesia generally does not recognize dual citizenship for adults. Limited dual citizenship is available only in certain circumstances, primarily for eligible children until they reach the age specified under Indonesian nationality law
Final Thoughts
Indonesia’s new PNBP citizenship fees represent an important update for anyone planning to become an Indonesian citizen or change their citizenship status. While the revised tariffs significantly increase the cost of naturalization and citizenship-related services, they are designed to modernize administrative fees that have remained largely unchanged for years.
For travelers, expatriates, and most foreign residents, there is no need for concern—the new regulation does not affect tourist visas, business visas, or other standard immigration services. However, individuals considering Indonesian citizenship should familiarize themselves with the updated fee structure and prepare accordingly before submitting their applications.
