E33G: Bali for Remote Workers
Indonesia's E33G Remote Worker KITAS is designed for people employed by, or contracting with, companies based outside Indonesia. It requires roughly USD 60,000 per year in income (about USD 5,000 per month) and a bank balance of at least USD 2,000 over the previous three months. The permit is issued for one year and can be renewed.
Tax and Conditions
Under the E33G permit, foreign-source income is not taxed in Indonesia; however, you may not earn income from Indonesian sources. International health insurance is required, and your employer or clients must be registered abroad. Bali offers a mature nomad infrastructure across Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud.
Joining the Bali Nomad Community
Indonesia's E33G permit is designed for remote employees of foreign companies, so it suits salaried professionals with a clear employment or contract relationship abroad rather than every freelancer. If you can show the required annual income and the minimum bank balance, and your employer sits outside Indonesia, you are the intended applicant. The route runs from an eligibility check through document preparation and application to approval and issue of the KITAS, valid for a year and renewable, with multiple entry. Bali's appeal is partly practical: an established nomad community, ready coworking infrastructure, and a low cost of living make it easy to settle in quickly. Connectivity is strong in the main hubs, though it can thin out in more remote areas, which matters for video-heavy work. International health insurance is required, so arrange it before you apply. Under this permit, foreign income is treated favourably, though your wider tax position still deserves attention. Because requirements and processing can shift, we suggest confirming the current details with an adviser before you commit to a move.
