Indonesia Digital Nomad Visa (E33G Remote Worker KITAS)

E33G is Indonesia's remote worker visa, the official route for digital nomads employed by a company abroad. Its official name, Visa Rumah Kedua Pekerja Jarak Jauh, translates as second home visa for remote workers. Holders do their overseas job while living in Indonesia.

The visa is national, not a Bali program: holders can live anywhere in Indonesia, including Bali bases such as Canggu and Ubud. Permenkumham 22/2023 created the remote worker category and took effect on Aug. 24, 2023.

E33G leads to a limited stay permit (ITAS) of 1 year, issued on arrival. The ITAS can be extended, with total ITAS time capped at 6 years.

• Income: at least $60,000 a year.
• Employer: a company established outside Indonesia, under an employment contract.
• Government fees: IDR 7,000,000 for the first year.
• Sponsor: none needed.
• Local work: no pay from individuals or companies in Indonesia.

The 2025 visa classification decree defines a remote worker as a foreigner employed by a company outside Indonesia who does that work from Indonesia. The official E33G page sets two tests:

• Income: salary or income of at least $60,000 a year, shown by bank records.
• Employment: an employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia.

Because the rule asks for an employment contract, the visa fits employees of foreign companies rather than freelancers who invoice clients. Any nationality can apply without a sponsor.

Holders may not sell goods or services or take pay from individuals or companies in Indonesia, according to the eVisa information page. The permitted activities include the overseas job, tourism, shopping and visiting friends or family.

Holders can bring family to live in Indonesia under the 2025 decree, as long as immigration rules are met. Each family member needs their own visa; the official visa list includes family visas for spouses (E31B) and children (E31E) of ITAS holders. The official pages set no extra income figure per dependant.

Applicants upload these files, as PDF or JPEG, according to the official E33G page:

• Passport: a national passport valid for at least six months.
• Bank statement: the last three months, showing at least $2,000 or the equivalent for living costs, with the account holder's name, the statement period and the balance.
• Income proof: bank records showing salary or income of at least $60,000 a year.
• Employment contract: with a company established outside Indonesia.
• Photo: a recent color photo taken within the last year.
• CV and itinerary: a curriculum vitae and a travel itinerary.

Health insurance and police certificates aren't on the official document list.

Government fees for the first year total IDR 7,000,000, paid at application, according to the official E33G page. The package covers the limited stay visa, a verification fee, the ITAS and the re-entry permit.

The page doesn't publish a fee for extending the ITAS.

The $2,000 bank balance and the income floor of $60,000 a year are eligibility tests, not fees. Agent fees aren't set by the government. The official process doesn't need an agent.

Applicants file online through their own account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. No sponsor or agent is needed.

1. Apply: upload the documents and pay the IDR 7,000,000 fee package.
2. Processing: Immigration checks the file, verifies payment, approves and issues the visa within 5 days of payment, counted in working days.
3. Travel: enter Indonesia within 90 calendar days of the visa's issue date.
4. Arrival: the ITAS and a re-entry permit are issued automatically when the immigration officer admits the holder.

The ITAS is electronic; a physical ITAS card is also available at an immigration office, according to the eVisa information page. The re-entry permit lets holders leave and return while it stays valid.

The E33G ITAS runs 1 year. The official page confirms it can be extended online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and transferred to another stay permit.

Each extension can be no longer than the first grant. Total ITAS time is capped at 6 years under Permenkumham 22/2023 (Art. 113).

Remote workers aren't among the second-home categories that can move to a permanent stay permit (ITAP) under Permenkumham 11/2024 (Art. 120), so E33G has no direct path to permanent residence. The ITAS can instead be converted to another ITAS type whose requirements the holder meets.

For a longer runway, the second home visa (E33) allows total ITAS time of up to 10 years.

No official source exempts E33G holders' foreign income from Indonesian tax. The visa rules set immigration status only. Neither Immigration nor the tax office publishes a remote worker tax regime.

Under tax regulation PER-23/PJ/2025, a foreigner is an Indonesian tax resident if they live in Indonesia, spend more than 183 days there within any 12-month period or are in Indonesia during a tax year with the intent to live there.

The same regulation lists an ITAS valid for more than 183 days as evidence of that intent. The E33G ITAS runs 1 year.

Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income, including a salary paid from abroad, under Finance Minister Regulation 18/PMK.03/2021.

The only official carve-out is a territorial regime that taxes some foreign residents only on Indonesian income for 4 years, counted in tax years from first becoming resident. It isn't an E33G benefit. It covers foreigners with specific expertise, meaning foreign workers in designated positions and foreign researchers with proven science, technology or math skills. It requires an application to the tax office and isn't available to anyone using a tax treaty for the foreign income.

Someone who is also tax resident in a treaty partner country has their status settled under that treaty, per PER-23/PJ/2025.
