A remote-worker visa for people who earn from foreign clients or employers while living in Bali. It is built for laptops and foreign income — not for taking a job with an Indonesian company.
The E33G is Indonesia’s remote-worker visa — the option most people mean when they talk about a “digital nomad visa” for Bali. It is designed for people who earn their living from clients or an employer based outside Indonesia and simply want to do that work while living on the island. The key boundary is the source of your income: the E33G covers remote work for foreign companies, but it does not let you take a local job or run a commercial operation aimed at the Indonesian market.
This visa suits freelancers, contractors and salaried remote employees whose money comes from abroad — a design studio in London, a tech firm in the United States, or a roster of overseas clients. If your earnings already arrive from outside Indonesia and you just want a legitimate base in Bali, the E33G is usually the cleanest fit. It is not for someone who wants to be hired by an Indonesian employer; that requires a Working KITAS instead.
On an E33G you can carry on your remote work, attend meetings and live in Bali for the duration of the visa. What you cannot do is earn from the local economy — no employment with an Indonesian company, no opening a shop or local-facing business on this visa. Keeping a clear line between foreign income and local commercial activity is the single most important rule to respect.
The total you pay can range widely — roughly $150 to $1,500 — because it depends on the length of the visa, whether you apply yourself or use an agent, and which supporting documents you need prepared. The lower end reflects a straightforward self-managed application; the higher end covers longer validity and full agent handling. We will always show you the official portion separately from any service fee.
Because eligibility hinges on earning from abroad, expect to show evidence of it — client contracts, an employment letter from a foreign company, or bank statements demonstrating a steady inflow from outside Indonesia. Having these ready before you apply keeps the process quick and avoids back-and-forth requests for more paperwork.
