Learn everything about Indonesia’s new digital nomad visa (E33G) – how to apply, requirements, benefits, and how to live and work legally in Bali as a remote worker.
Introduction
Bali is fast becoming a global hotspot for digital nomads. If you’re planning to work remotely while enjoying Indonesia’s tropical life, the Digital Nomad Visa Indonesia (E33G) offers a legal and convenient solution. This article explores everything you need to know: visa requirements, benefits, application steps, and how to work from Bali legally in 2025.
What is the Digital Nomad Visa (E33G)?
The E33G visa is a newly introduced category by the Indonesian government designed for foreign remote workers who wish to live in Indonesia long-term without taking jobs in the local economy.
This visa is ideal for:
- Freelancers with international clients
- Remote employees of overseas companies
- Online business owners
- Digital consultants or entrepreneurs
Benefits of the E33G Visa
This visa offers more than just a stay permit — it’s your gateway to a stable, legal, and comfortable life in Indonesia. Here are the real-life benefits:
- Stay up to 1 year with possible extensions
- No income tax in Indonesia if income is from abroad
- No local sponsor required (in many cases)
- Legal remote work access from Bali or anywhere in Indonesia
- Bring your family under ITAS Spouse or Dependent permits
- Apply for a Schengen Visa from Indonesia with legal resident status
- Get an Indonesian driver’s license (SIM)
- Open a local bank account (e.g., BCA, Mandiri, BNI)
These benefits are rarely available with a standard Visa on Arrival (VOA).
E33G Visa Requirements
- Valid passport with at least 18 months before expiry
- Proof of income from abroad (minimum USD 5,000/month)
- Bank account balance (typically USD 2,000+)
- Employment contract with a company outside of Indonesia.
