This is not accurate anylonger - the new way is to form a PMA with two people. Then you can sponsor your own kitas. While you don't have any equity in stocks, you are also immune from loss there. It becomes a cost - you can form a PMA from 25-60 juta and do an investor kitas fro 18 juta (million.) You also don't need to give up 70k liquidity, on the risk that it may not come back and for dividends which are 100% taxable in the country (about 23% AFAIK.) because you must report revenue annually. 70K in stocks w/ dividends OR form a corporate structure for about $3000. The other alternative is b211a/social visa, which is 60 days and about 1 million a month after per renewal up to 6 months, meaning, 4 renewals at 4 juta/million IDR and then 3 million to apply - so 7 juta total every 6 months MAX. 14 annually.
