Indonesia Digital Nomad Visa
Indonesia's E33G Remote Worker KITAS is the real 'Bali nomad visa', a 1-year residence permit needing ~$60,000/year in foreign income, for those working remotely for non-Indonesian employers.
Distinct from the short B211A visit visa and the never-launched '5-year tax-free' visa, which doesn't exist. Income must be entirely foreign-sourced; freelancer eligibility is ambiguous. [Source: Indonesia Directorate General of Immigration ↗]
Updated: Introduced April 2024; thresholds unchanged, but 2025 tightened tax-residency rules.
Key requirements
- $60,000/year income + ~$2,000 bank balance (3 months)
- Employment/contract with a company outside Indonesia
- International health insurance
- Income must be 100% foreign-sourced
Before you apply
Indonesia requires private health insurance for the application. A nomad policy (like SafetyWing or Genki) meets the requirement and covers you abroad.

You need about $60,000/year (~$5,000/month), shown from income earned outside Indonesia.

Do you pay tax in Indonesia as a digital nomad?
Foreign-source income generally isn't taxed via the visa alone, but 2025 rules let authorities assess residency on substance, so the 'tax-free' framing is riskier than marketed.
