Digital Nomad Visa FAQ

What is the income requirement for the digital nomad visa?

You must prove annual income of at least US$60,000 (or equivalent) from a foreign employer or clients. This is verified through bank statements showing salary or income deposits and an employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia.

Yes, freelancers and independent contractors can apply as long as they meet the US$60,000 annual income requirement and can provide proof of their contracting relationship with companies outside Indonesia. We help freelancers structure their documentation to meet immigration requirements.

The E33G Remote Worker Visa is designed so that your income remains taxable in your home country, not Indonesia—since your employer is foreign and you’re not earning from Indonesian sources. However, tax laws are complex and individual situations vary. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified tax advisor for your specific situation.

Yes! Your spouse and dependent children can apply for dependent visas tied to your E33G Remote Worker Visa. This allows your whole family to live in Indonesia for the same duration. We handle family visa applications alongside your primary visa for seamless relocation.

Yes, the E33G Remote Worker Visa can be renewed. You’ll need to provide updated income documentation and a current employment contract. We send you renewal reminders before expiration and handle the entire renewal process.

Yes, significantly. Working remotely on a tourist visa is a legal grey area—it’s technically not permitted. The E33G gives you explicit legal authorization to work remotely, plus a full year of stay without extensions. It also provides access to banking, and you avoid the stress of visa runs or extension deadlines every 60 days.

Processing takes 7-10 working days after we receive your complete documents. We recommend starting the process at least 2 weeks before your intended arrival date. The entire process from consultation to approved visa is typically 10-14 days.

Yes. The E33G Remote Worker Visa allows you to open Indonesian bank accounts for daily expenses and local transactions. This makes managing your life in Bali much more convenient—paying rent, utilities, and daily expenses in local currency.
