Someone planning a year in Indonesia on the E33G asks about tax exposure. The substantive reply is that crossing 183 days makes you a tax resident regardless of which visa you hold, and that holding a KITAS of any kind carries its own tax consequences — so the visa and the tax position need to be planned together.

Tax & Legal

Taxation Profile
Foreign Income Tax-Free

Foreign Income

Indonesia generally does not tax foreign-sourced income for holders of this visa, making it highly attractive for remote workers.

Local Income

Income earned from local Indonesia sources is taxable at standard rates.

The E33G authorizes work performed for a company outside Indonesia. Tax treatment depends on Indonesian tax-residency and source rules; professional advice is recommended for stays approaching or exceeding 183 days.

Common Questions

What is the application fee for Indonesia's nomad visa?
The government fee is about $430. Budget beyond that for health insurance, sworn translations, apostilles and, where required, a criminal-record check — these routinely add up to more than the fee itself.
Is the Indonesia income requirement monthly or annual?
It is set as an annual figure. We show roughly $5000/month for comparison against other programmes, but the official test is applied to your yearly income, so a strong year with uneven months can still qualify.
How long can I actually stay in Indonesia?
The first grant runs 12 months, and renewals can take the total to about 12 months. It does not build towards permanent residence, so treat the cap as the real limit.
Does the E33G Remote Worker Visa cover a spouse and children?
Yes. Eligible family members must obtain the appropriate dependent stay permit under Indonesian immigration rules. Budget for the higher income threshold that normally comes with each additional person.
Will I pay tax in Indonesia on money earned abroad?
Foreign-sourced income is not taxed locally under this route. That does not settle your position at home — most countries tax on residence or citizenship, so check both sides before assuming a saving.
Can the E33G Remote Worker Visa be applied for online?
Yes, the application is submitted online. You can file from outside the country, so no embassy visit is needed to start. Documents still need to be properly certified before upload — that is where most delays come from.
What do I need to renew the E33G Remote Worker Visa?
The one-year limited stay permit can be extended online through the official Indonesian eVisa portal. File before the current permit expires rather than after — in most systems a lapsed permit means starting the process again from outside the country.
