For digital nomads, remote workers, and foreigners wishing to move to Bali, the E33G remote worker visa is probably the best solution for living in Bali. A multiple-entry visa grants a foreigner permission to stay in Indonesia temporarily for a period of 1 year. The residence permit is called KITAS (KITAS). This digital nomad visa in Indonesia allows professionals to legally reside in Bali while working remotely for a company located outside Indonesia. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a balance between work and a relaxed island lifestyle.
Advantages of the E33G visa for remote workers
KITAS for remote workers gives foreigners certain advantages. It allows them to stay in Indonesia for up to one year and be considered a temporary resident of Indonesia. With this visa, you can fly in and out an unlimited number of times within one year.
With this visa, you can also open a bank account in Indonesia, buy a motorbike or car, and enjoy discounts at many establishments.
Procedure for obtaining and extending a KITAS for remote workers (E33G)
The visa is processed and issued online, so you do not need to visit the embassy in person. To obtain a visa, you must provide the following documents:
- A copy of your passport with a validity period of at least 6 months
- A bank statement with a balance of at least $2,000
- An employment contract for at least $60,000 per year
- Your address of residence in Indonesia
The visa preparation process takes up to 10 working days. After receiving the visa, you will have 90 days to activate it (entry corridor). During this period, you must enter Indonesia to convert your KITAS visa.
The visa will become valid from the moment you enter Indonesia.
Tax residency in Indonesia for remote workers
Some digital nomads, remote workers, or business owners are considering moving to Bali as tax residents because of the balance between taxation and lifestyle. For KITAS holders who are remote workers, it is possible to establish residency in Indonesia under the Indonesia Digital Nomad Visa.
To do so, you must apply for a tax card (NPWP) after receiving your KITAS. You will need to declare your income. You must complete your personal tax return between January and March following the financial year (January to December). For example, if you obtain a KITAS in 2025, you will need to declare your tax in 2026. Indonesia taxes income from all over the world. However, in practice, there are tax agreements with some countries (including Russia) to avoid double taxation, allowing certain income to be taxed only once, which makes the income tax-free due to the lower tax rate in Indonesia.
Bring your family to Indonesia on a family visa
Remote employees who hold an E33G visa (e.g., children, spouses, or even parents) can also join the main applicant’s visa on a family visa.
If you are married, your spouse will apply for a spouse KITAS, and your child will apply for a child KITAS. You can apply as soon as the main applicant’s visa is issued.
The validity period of their visas will correspond to the validity period of the main applicant’s visa.
Living in Bali and remote working
The KITAS remote worker visa is probably the best visa for those who work online and have no business relationship with Indonesia. If your work and clients are outside Indonesia and you do not work in Indonesia, this visa is the best option, allowing you to work remotely and live in Indonesia.
For people who have an offshore company, for example, in Dubai, Hong Kong or their home country, the visa is also an ideal way to stay and live in Bali.
Again, Bali is not a tax haven, but Indonesia has very low taxes on cryptocurrency, and it can be a good place for workers who work remotely or trade in the cryptocurrency market.
