Dear Mr. Kevin
In Article 2 par (1) Tax Law No. 28 Year 2007, that "Any taxpayer fulfilling subjective and objective requirements in accordance with provisions of taxation legislation shall register with the office of the Directorate General of Taxation"
Objective requirements are requirements for tax subjects receiving or earning income or obliged to withhold/collect in accordance with the provisions of the 1984 Income Tax Law and its amendments.
Subjective requirements are an individual who resides in Indonesia or is present in Indonesia for more than 183 (one hundred and eighty-three) days within any 12 (twelve) month period, or an individual who in particular taxable year is present and INTENDS TO RESIDE in Indonesia.
So, if a Foreign Resident is Intends to reside in Indonesia for more than 183 days within any 12 month period (althought its illegal) and work/receive an income from Indonesia; he/she required to have a NPWP.

If you don't have income (because you get a Retirement Visa and under category as "Lansia") from Indonesia, so, you are not category that fulfilling objective requirements.
You didn't have the obligation to register a NPWP.
