Indonesia has a new remote-worker visa. Here is everything you need to know.
Indonesia launched its E33G digital nomad visa in 2024. After helping dozens of guests, here is my honest guide.
## The Quick Version
- E33G Visa: 1 year validity, extendable to 2 years max
- Cost: Application + ITAS (verify current rates)
- Income: ~USD 60k per year (verify current)
- Can work remotely for foreign companies only
Why the E33G Exists Before 2024, options were limited (B211A 6 months, VOA 30 days). E33G is Indonesia's attempt at a clearer legal pathway.
Eligibility Requirements Valid passport, remote employment proof, income proof, health insurance, clean record.
Step-by-Step Application Before arrival: apply at Indonesian embassy with docs After arrival: apply for ITAS within 7 days
## Common Pitfalls
- Income proof unclear (show regular monthly income)
- Health insurance coverage
- Working for Indonesian clients (need different visa)
- Overstaying
- Tax obligations (over 183 days = tax resident)
Practical Tips Use an agent, get a local tax advisor, join expat communities, book long-stay accommodation first.
Both our Canggu Surf Paradise and Uluwatu Surf Paradise are great bases for digital nomads.
