Why Choose the Digital Nomad Visa?
Live in Indonesia for 1 Year
Stay legally for up to 12 months while working remotely for a foreign employer or overseas clients.
Freedom to Travel
Multiple entries during validity — leave and return without restarting a tourist visa every trip.
Work Remotely, Legally
Compliant remote work for an overseas company — no more relying on a tourist visa to open your laptop.
The Digital Nomad Visa E33G (officially Indonesia’s Remote Worker Visa) lets foreigners live in Bali or anywhere in Indonesia for one year while working remotely for a company or clients based outside Indonesia. After entry and biometrics, it operates as a limited-stay permit — often searched as a Remote Worker KITAS.
It suits employees, consultants, and qualifying contractors who earn foreign income and want a long stay without visa runs on a tourist permit.

Is the E33G a Remote Worker KITAS?
Yes — in practical terms. E33G is the visa index for Indonesia’s remote-worker limited stay. Once issued and completed onshore (ITAS + re-entry permit), people commonly call it the Digital Nomad Visa or Remote Worker KITAS. It is not a tourist visa and not a Working KITAS for Indonesian employers.
What You Can Do on This Visa
- Live in Indonesia legally for up to one year
- Work remotely for a company established outside Indonesia
- Earn income sourced outside Indonesia
- Enter and exit multiple times during validity (with MERP)
- Base yourself in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia without tourist-visa runs
What You Cannot Do on This Visa
- Take employment with an Indonesian company
- Earn Indonesian-sourced salary or local freelance income
- Operate a local business or sell services to Indonesian clients as your work purpose
- Treat this as a path to citizenship or permanent residency
If you need to work for a local employer, you need a Working KITAS. See employer sponsorship explained.
Digital Nomad Visa E33G Requirements
Core eligibility (subject to current immigration rules):
- Foreign income: Proof of at least USD 60,000 per year (commonly shown as USD 5,000 per month) from overseas work
- Bank statement: Personal account showing at least USD 2,000 over the last three months
- Employment contract: Active contract with a company established outside Indonesia
- Passport valid at least 6 months (12–18 months recommended) — see passport validity rules
- Recent colour passport photo
- CV / resume
- Travel itinerary and intended address in Indonesia
- Health insurance covering Indonesia for the stay
Freelancers: Immigration focuses on a foreign company contract and the USD 60,000 income bar. Local Indonesian clients do not qualify. Send us your contract setup before applying so we can confirm eligibility. The usual stalls are in our E33G income proof guide: bank statements, name mismatches, and the 14-working-day timeline.
E33G Cost: Government Fees vs Our Service
Official immigration fees for the one-year Remote Worker path are commonly in the region of IDR 7,000,000+ (visa/ITAS components), plus a multiple re-entry permit (MERP) when completing the stay permit. Exact government line items can change.
Bali Visa Hub full-service packages (immigration fees + document review + filing + support):
- Apply from abroad: IDR 15,000,000 — up to 14 working days, valid 1 year
- Apply while in Indonesia: IDR 21,000,000 — up to 14 working days, valid 1 year
Included: eligibility check, document preparation, application filing, immigration coordination, and support through approval.
Processing Time
Once your documents are complete, we typically process within 14 working days. Immigration volume can add time; we keep you updated.
Onshore vs Offshore Application
- Offshore: Apply before you enter (or while outside). Often the simplest path for first-time E33G holders.
- Onshore: Apply from inside Indonesia when your situation allows. Pricing and document checks can differ — choose Extra Service above if you are already in-country.
Renewal: Exit and Reapply
The E33G is issued for one year. Unlike tourist visas with two in-country extensions, most remote workers exit and reapply for a new one-year permit rather than “extending” like a B1/B2. Plan your timeline before the permit ends so you do not overstay.
Tax Note (High Level)
Foreign-sourced income does not automatically mean zero Indonesian tax exposure. Staying past about 183 days, or showing intent to reside, can raise tax-residency questions. This is not tax advice — speak with a qualified advisor for your situation.
Step-by-Step E33G Process
- Eligibility interview: We check income proof, contract, and whether offshore or onshore is better.
- Document prep: Checklist, review, and corrections before filing.
- Submission: We file with Indonesian immigration on your behalf.
- Review: We monitor status and follow up if immigration asks for more.
- Approval: You receive your E33G; after entry, complete ITAS/biometrics and MERP as required.
E33G vs Other Bali Visas
- B1/B2 tourist — long visits, no remote-work purpose
- C1 tourist — shorter visit visa, no work
- Working KITAS — paid work for an Indonesian employer
- D12 — scouting investment before a company
