Millions of Indonesians and their descendants now live overseas, forming a global community that has long sought a clear and dignified pathway to reconnect with Indonesia.
For decades, returning diaspora faced complicated visa renewals, sponsorship requirements, and limited long-term options. Many families, especially those of mixed-nationality backgrounds, were left without a residency framework that recognised their heritage or protected their ability to return home.
As a subsidiary of LMI Consultancy, Lets Move Indonesia is proud to introduce the Global Citizenship of Indonesia (GCI) — Indonesia’s groundbreaking permanent residency pathway designed specifically for the diaspora, their children, and their grandchildren.
Announced on 19 November 2025, this landmark policy finally addresses the long-standing gaps in Indonesia’s immigration system. The GCI programme offers a way back home for individuals with genuine Indonesian lineage — without requiring them to renounce their existing citizenship, and without the uncertainty of annual visa extensions.
This video explains the brief understanding of GCI and who it is for, such as:
- Former Indonesian citizens (Ex-WNI)
- First- and second-degree descendants (children & grandchildren)
- Children from legally recognised mixed-nationality marriages
- Selected individuals with special skills collaborating with the Government
GCI is designed to bring clarity, dignity, and certainty to Indonesians abroad. It strikes the balance between welcoming the diaspora and upholding Indonesia’s single-citizenship principle — ensuring long-term connection without altering nationality laws.
Whether you are returning to Indonesia after decades abroad, helping your children secure their lineage rights, or simply exploring long-term residency options, our team is here to guide you through every step — clearly, confidently, and compliantly.
