Indonesian Citizenship: Naturalization Types

Naturalization and citizenship in Indonesia can be obtained through different processes. Ordinary naturalization involves meeting requirements like being 18 years old, physically and mentally healthy, able to speak Indonesian, acknowledging the state principles, no criminal record, and paying citizenship fees. Special naturalization is granted by the President for those who have served Indonesia or it is in the national interest, excluding those who would gain dual citizenship. Citizenship can also be acquired at birth if one or both parents are Indonesian citizens or through parents before age 18. Naturalization is the process of granting citizenship to lawful permanent residents who meet Congressional requirements in the Immigration and Citizenship Act.

Naturalization and Citizenship

Understand the difference between Citizenship and Naturalization by


paying attention to the difference between Special Naturalization and
the difference from Ordinary Naturalization

People who share a sense of civic duty and a commitment to the liberties and rights
enshrined in the Indonesia. Different routes to citizenship may be available, depending on
your circumstances. Following compliance with the criteria outlined by Congress in the
Immigration and Nationality Act, a lawful permanent resident is granted Indonesia
citizenship through the naturalization process. Citizenship is acquired through parents who
are citizens of the Indonesia, either at birth or subsequently, but before the age of 18.
Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) for foreigners can only be obtained
based on the requirements specified in the law. In this case, citizenship can be obtained
through ordinary naturalization or special naturalization. Indonesian citizenship is regulated
in Law Number 12 of 2006. Based on this law, naturalization is a procedure for foreigners to
obtain Indonesian citizenship through an application. In general, naturalization is divided into
two, ordinary naturalization and special naturalization.
Ordinary naturalization is the process of obtaining citizenship status for Foreign
Citizens (WNA) based on a general application. Based on Law Number 12 of 2006 Article 9,
the following are the requirements for obtaining Indonesian citizenship through
naturalization:
1. Is 18 (eighteen) years old or already married;
2. Physically and mentally healthy;
3. Can speak Indonesian and acknowledge the state foundation of Pancasila and the 1945
Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia;
4. Have never been sentenced for committing a crime punishable by imprisonment for 1 year
or more and;
5. Paying citizenship fees to the State Treasury.

Special naturalization is the granting of citizenship by the President for the services
of the foreigner concerned. Foreigners who have served the Republic of Indonesia or for
reasons of state interest can be granted Indonesian Citizenship by the President after
obtaining the advice of the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia
(DPR). In this case, special naturalization is excluded if the granting of citizenship causes the
person concerned to have dual citizenship.

Depending on your situation, there may be different routes to citizenship. A legal


permanent resident who meets the requirements stated by Congress in the Immigration and
Citizenship Act is given Indonesian citizenship through the naturalization procedure.
Ordinary naturalization and special naturalization are the two different types of
naturalization. Thank you for listening to my presentation. I hope what I have shared would
