Nine years after her arrest and conviction for smuggling more than 4kg of marijuana into Bali, the former Gold Coast beautician will move from Kerobokan prison to her sister's family home.
Indonesian Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin said he would sign her parole papers, along with those of 1700 other prisoners by Friday.
"Corby doesn't get any special treatment. As long as she fulfils all the requirements, and based on the recommendation of the correctional monitoring team, she has the right to get her right. And based on the law, she will get it. So, there is no special treatment for Corby," Mr Syamsuddin told reporters in Jakarta.

Sources within the jail yesterday said Corby was not openly celebrating because the document is not yet signed. She yesterday sent some clothes to the jail's laundry and appeared to be sorting through her property.
Kerobokan Jail Governor Farid Junaedi said Corby - who has battled mental illness during her time in jail - was pleased but still confused about the parole process.
"She really hopes for parole. She feels confused, wondering when the parole will be granted. But she was really happy when she learned that her Immigration letter had been issued," Mr Junaedi said yesterday.

Opposition builds against imminent release of Schapelle Corby | News.com.au
Opposition builds against imminent release of Schapelle Corby
OPPOSITION is building in Indonesia against the imminent release of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.
Indonesia's national anti-narcotic movement, Granat, is critical of their government's impending decision to grant Corby parole.
Chairman Henry Yosodiningrat said the decision will hurt "the people's sense of fairness in this country".
#####
Then "the people's sense of fairness" in Indonesia needs to attend a special seminar, where things can be explained to it.
She's been in their prison for nearly ten years, lying on a mattress on the human waste filled floor in the dirty cell.
Reportedly;
. Rats run over her body at night, and large ants and other bugs bite her continually.
. 3-eyed snakes inhabit the cesspool where she is supposed to do her washing.
. The stench in her cell is almost unbearable.
. She has been taunted by some of the guards.
She has only had a bucket of cold water and a ladle each day for bathing for the last 9 1/2 years.
She has gone 'crazy', chasing imaginary ducks around her cell.
She has suffered enough.
Time she is set free.
We'll see what Indonesia comes up with.
