This is a list of Indonesia international footballers who were born or grew up outside Indonesia. Players born in or raised in other countries may qualify for the Indonesia national team through parents or grandparents, or through 10-years residency and subsequent naturalization as Indonesian citizens.
Men Naturalized citizens of Indonesia
The following players born elsewhere and were naturalized via the formal process (either through residency or through descent) and went on to play for the Indonesia senior national team – Indonesian nationality law does not permit dual citizenship, so all the listed players had to give up their other nationalities.
