Let's fast track the answer.


No

Passports are for nationals on the country where the passport is issued. To be a resident you must reside in that said county and for a period of years first.

even if we pay we cannot get legal papers?

i mean everything works with money....but want legal ways NOT unlegal

Yes come here. Live here for X amount of years paying tax and residing then you can apply for residency and then from there surrender your current nationality and join the population of Indonesia legally.

Whatever you want to do, it has to be done here. Nowhere else. Legal would imply not breakinga country's laws so that would mean being in. That country.

Paying with money enough money would probably work but that in itself is illegal so you are actually trying to buy a nationality which doesn't sound legal at all.

Still no.

You have no hope at all of doing this legally so forget it.

Indonesia is a wonderful country with a wide variety of wildly diverse cultures but you have to do everything legally as the days of under the counter money have passed.
Indian citizens can get a free 30 VOA or you should have no problem applying for a 60 day SOSBUD so you can dip your toe in the water.
Working is not allowed on these or any other visa without a work permit so you'll probably have to prove you have enough cash to live here for the SOSBUD.
You'll need a sponsor so you'll probably have to use an agent.

Interesting - the OP was an Indian in Turkey this morning but appears to be a Kuwaiti in Qatar this afternoon.

no you can't. having an indonesian passport is not as easy as getting a working visa in indonesia. once you have indonesian passport, meaning to say, you decide to let go of your nationality to become an indonesian, since indonesia doesn't recognize dual citizenship. and you want to have one but never ever been in Indonesia before? please.. indonesia is a developing country but we're not that shallow to accept several amount of money to accept someone to be their citizen right away. there are rules and you need to stick with that cause we will.

In this case I am, mostly because I'm proud and privileged to have an Indonesian passport, all done legally and above board.
It takes a long time, a lot of hard work and a proven commitment to get the letter you need to apply for a passport.
