Indonesia E33G Visa: Requirements, Costs & Tax Rules (2026)

Indonesia’s E33G remote worker visa offers a one-year stay for eligible people working for a company outside Indonesia. Start with the overseas employment contract, income evidence and application documents below. This guide also separates immigration permission from tax residence and flags family arrangements that need confirmation before travel.

Short answer: the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office lists four requirements: an employment contract with a company outside Indonesia, annual salary of at least USD 60,000, three months of bank statements with a minimum USD 2,000 balance, and IDR 7,000,000 in government fees. You may not work for or be paid by Indonesian individuals or companies. The visa does not decide your tax status, so check that separately before you move.

What the Indonesia E33G Remote Worker Visa Still Requires

The Ngurah Rai Immigration Office’s E33G guide lists a one-year stay, IDR 7,000,000 in government fees, an overseas employment contract and annual salary of at least USD 60,000. It also lists three months of bank statements with a minimum USD 2,000 balance. Use the official e-Visa portal for the current application checklist; an income figure alone does not establish eligibility.

Before committing to a move, resolve three separate questions: whether your work fits E33G, how your family will obtain permission to stay, and how your circumstances affect tax residence.

Tax Residence: Why the Day Count Is Not the Only Test

Indonesia’s PER-23/PJ/2025, issued on December 9, 2025, replaced older tax-residence regulations. It did not introduce intent to reside for the first time: PER-43/PJ/2011, Articles 3 and 11, already included that route and referred to a KITAS exceeding 183 days. A before-and-after example based solely on crossing day 183 would therefore be misleading.

Under PER-23/PJ/2025, Article 3 lists residence in Indonesia, presence for more than 183 days within 12 months, or presence during a tax year with intent to reside as alternative tests. Article 4(3) expressly includes VITAS or ITAS valid for more than 183 days among evidence of intent. An E33G holder should assess these provisions before assuming a shorter stay prevents tax residence.

The visa does not settle the tax bill. Residence classification, income treatment and any treaty relief require a separate assessment of the person’s circumstances. Do not treat overseas payment or an overseas employer as proof that work performed while living in Indonesia is tax-free.

Planning example: An employee planning to live in Bali for a year should obtain advice before moving, rather than wait until July to ask about tax. Take the employment contract, permit, travel dates and housing arrangements to the adviser. This checklist does not predict a residence start date or a tax amount.

Family Members: Confirm the Correct Permit Before Booking

No official E33G notice we could find confirms a general family-sponsorship expansion that covers every relationship, particularly parents and siblings. A December 2025 agency report said it did, so do not rely on that claim when planning a family move.

Ask Indonesian Immigration which family permit fits each person, who must act as sponsor, what relationship documents are required, when applications can be submitted and how long each permit can last. Obtain confirmation for your own E33G arrangement before committing to travel or school fees.

Keep Your Actual Work Within the Visa Conditions

The official E33G guide prohibits working for or receiving payment from Indonesian individuals or legal entities. Confirm the permitted activity if your work includes local clients or a different business arrangement. Do not assume every form of freelancing qualifies merely because it uses a laptop.

What This Means If You Are Considering This Visa

Check the employment-contract requirement first, then budget for the application and obtain advice on tax and family arrangements. Compare your actual work with the official checklist before paying an agent. Keep written answers and supporting documents with your application records.

FAQ

What are the requirements for the Indonesia E33G visa?

An employment contract with a company outside Indonesia, annual salary of at least USD 60,000, three months of bank statements with at least USD 2,000, and IDR 7,000,000 in government fees, per the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office. Check the live e-Visa portal for the current checklist.

Does holding an E33G visa automatically make me an Indonesian tax resident?

Assess the full facts rather than relying on a day count alone. Article 4(3) of PER-23/PJ/2025 lists ITAS exceeding 183 days as evidence of intent to reside. Immigration permission and the resulting tax treatment are separate questions to review with a qualified adviser.

Can my spouse and children join me on my E33G visa?

Confirm the applicable family permit with Indonesian Immigration before booking. We found no official notice of a blanket E33G entitlement covering spouses, children, parents and siblings, or a universal application sequence. Each person needs the correct permission and supporting documents.

Is the E33G visa renewable?

Official Bontang Immigration guidance describes the E33G-linked stay permit as extendable and says extensions can be applied for online through the e-Visa portal. A one-year initial stay is not proof that everyone must exit and reapply. Confirm your extension documents, timing and eligibility with Immigration before the current permit expires.
