I did it the 'cowboy' way (through my ex-agent AND expensive...) which I don't recommend you do....but i think the proper way is to go to the AHU website and fill out some kind of form and possibly need to ask for a letter from your Indonesian consulate in the country where you stayed for a while (out of indonesia) that is if I'm not mistaken. Had a friend who did it and only had to pay 500rb if I remember vaguely for administrative fee.

How to obtain Indonesian Citizenship

Oh yes . Analyzing carefully is not something that all people do . My suggestion was to an average relatively young couple with children , who would start paying a house in installments . If they divorce and the house is in the Indonesian spouse's name , the loss for the foreigner would be...

Hi, wondering if you've got the information on how to let go Indonesian citizenship after becoming American? I'm trying to find other posts on this topic but the website is too messy, just too many ads. If you did, would you mind sharing it here, please? Thank you

This video documents a live Q&A session from the program "Pasti Ada Solusi" (There is Always a Solution) featuring the Indonesian Minister of Law, Supratman, and his staff. In this live casting, an Indonesian citizen residing in Singapore named Feni Cendana shares her grievances regarding her delayed application to renounce her Indonesian citizenship, which had been stuck since January.

Supratman said the ministry has purposely tightened the verification process for renouncing citizenship. This policy was implemented because past applicants were later found to have outstanding tax issues, ties to terrorism, or other criminal backgrounds. The government must ensure all applicants are clean and clear of any legal or financial obligations to Indonesia before letting them leave its jurisdiction. Just to make people aware of that this problem is not specific to Indonesia. If verification for a single person take so long how do they suppose to run other administrative issue. Let alone they only take action once the person takes part in the show to showcase her case to public.

The minister confirms that they already have apps for the application, but it was simply stuck due to a system glitch during the initial verification phase in the app. Feni was instructed to re-upload her existing documents using a new account on the system (euphemism to re-apply or we have lost it ) that same day. What is the point of spending money, having an app, and IT system if the systems even delays the process.

Singapore generally does not allow dual citizenship for adults. Any foreigner who wants to become Singaporean citizenship must renounce his foreign nationalities first. So for Feni Cendana, there is an opportunity cost here as if the renouncing Indonesian citizenship is delayed she can not become a Singaporean national. If the case like this happens to other countries, there will be a lot of lawyers would want to take the case on 'no win no fee' basis aiming for big compensation.
