Relocating sovereign capital is not a holiday; it is a financial operation. This is the GBBC-verified execution roadmap for the 2026 Sovereign Investor.
Phase 1: The Audit (Months 1-2)
Calculate “Cost of Exit.” Review portfolio against PMK-50 rules to confirm VAT exemption eligibility.
Phase 2: The Reconnaissance (Months 3-4)
Validate “Lifestyle ROI.” Visit Bali. Meet the builders.
Phase 3: The Severance (Months 5-6)
Break the “Center of Vital Interests.” Apply for the Second Home Visa (E28C).
Compliance Warning: Do NOT sell major crypto positions yet.
Phase 4: The Migration (Months 7-8)
Establish Physical Presence. Sign a 12-month lease.
Phase 5: The Infrastructure (Months 9-10)
Activate the PMK-50 Shield. Open OJK-Registered Exchange accounts to avoid the 1% Penalty Tax.
Phase 6: Stabilization (Months 11-12)
Execute the first test transaction to verify the 0.21% auto-withholding.
