E33G Remote Worker KITAS

Indonesia's proper digital nomad visa, live since 2024. It grants a one-year limited stay permit (KITAS) with multiple entries, aimed at people employed by or contracting for companies outside Indonesia. The income bar of USD 60,000 a year is the main filter and is checked against bank statements and contracts. It does not permit any work for Indonesian companies or clients, and it is a stay permit rather than a route to permanent residence.

Broadly open, but consulates assess each application case by case.

Renewable for a further year if the income and employment conditions still hold.

• Using a reputable local agent is standard practice and typically costs USD 100-300 on top of the fee
• Dependants can be added, which makes this far better than stacking tourist visas for families
• Keep the contract and statements in English or with certified translations
• Freelancers with several small clients find the income evidence harder than salaried employees
• The KITAS is tied to the sponsoring arrangement, so changing employer mid-term means re-applying
