The charge for applications for voluntary renunciation of residentship under Government Regulation No. 30/2026 is Rp5 million. The new law was signed by President Prabowo Subianto on July 2 and takes effect August 1. It also sets other service fees for the law ministry, including Rp1 million for requests to legally reclaim Indonesian residency.

JAKARTA, thekabarnews.com—For Indonesian residents who voluntarily apply to renounce their residentship, the administrative fee is Rp5 million. This fee is under government regulation (PP No. 30/2026).

President Prabowo Subianto signs the regulation in Jakarta, July 2, 2026. The government issued it the same day, and it will be active August 1 after the required 30-day transition period.

The charge is for an application to the president to make a formal decision on the voluntary loss of Indonesian residency.

The payment of the fee does not immediately revoke a person’s residentship. Indeed, the authorities must review the application before the president’s decision.

The attached tariff schedule to PP No. 30/2026 states that the fee for Indonesian residents who voluntarily give up their residentship is Rp 5 million.

Previously, the regulation in force was PP No. 45 of 2024 with a service charge of Rp1 million. The government has raised it five times. The fee to reapply for Indonesian residency is Rp 1 million.

It also includes other non-tax state revenues (PNBP) collected by the legal administration, intellectual property, legislative drafting, and other services of the Ministry of Law.

Article 7 of the regulation stipulates, “All non-tax state revenues applicable to the law ministry shall be deposited in the State Treasury.

The government announced the new tariff structure after the reorganization of the erstwhile Law and Human Rights Ministry. Now, a separate law ministry handles these responsibilities.

Officials also needed to implement the changes to ensure that legal-service charges reflect regulatory developments and national economic conditions.

The General Directorate of General Legal Administration (Ditjen AHU) has improved coordination with other government agencies in handling the loss of residentship applications.

The verification process is intended to confirm that the applicant is not giving up residentship to avoid legal or financial obligations.

Official data from Ditjen AHU showed that an interministerial team handled 605 applications for loss of residency in six batches. This occurred in the January-June 2026 period.

The process is one of administrative screening and clearance by the appropriate agencies and then a recommendation to the president.

The PP No. 30/2026 also allows the government to set some tariffs at zero based on public interest, humanitarian reasons, force majeure, aid to low-income applicants, or other accepted considerations. Moreover, the above are the maximum tariffs under regulation.

The government hopes the new system will bring more legal certainty, more transparency in the services provided, and more accountability. Additionally, the published text includes the full provisions of PP No. 30/2026. These provisions include the effective date and the requirement for the state treasury.
