Indonesia Remote Worker Visa (E33G) / Second Home Visa: Requirements
What you need to qualify for the Indonesia Remote Worker Visa (E33G) / Second Home Visa — income, documents, and the fine print that trips people up.
Indonesia's nomad-relevant visa options have shifted more than most countries on this list. As of 2026, the current landscape is the Remote Worker KITAS (E33G), introduced in April 2024 and aimed at digital nomads with foreign income, and the separate, higher-bar Second Home Visa (introduced 2022), aimed at long-term, higher-net-worth residents. Given how frequently these programs have been restructured historically, confirm current names and status directly before applying, even against this recently-checked page.
The Remote Worker route (E33G KITAS) is generally built around proof of employment or contracts with companies outside Indonesia and a minimum income threshold, without requiring the larger investment or savings commitment the Second Home Visa asks for. As of 2026, that threshold is roughly $60,000/year (about $5,000/month), documented against 3-6 months of bank statements or pay stubs, and the income must come from a genuine foreign employer or client — whether a freelance service agreement (rather than a formal employment contract) qualifies is reportedly still unsettled in practice, so freelancers specifically should confirm directly before assuming they qualify.
The Second Home Visa requires a substantially larger financial commitment — commonly cited around $130,000 USD (roughly IDR 2 billion) as a deposit in an Indonesian state-owned bank, or a higher-value property purchase as an alternative — in exchange for a much longer 5-to-10-year validity period, versus the Remote Worker route's 1-year (renewable) term.
- Remote income proof — roughly $60,000/year (~$5,000/month) as of 2026 for the Remote Worker (E33G) route, from genuine foreign sources
- Valid passport
- Sponsor or agent, often required for the application process in practice
- Note: Indonesia's nomad-visa landscape changes more frequently than most countries on this site — working with a reputable local visa agent is common practice here specifically, not just a general suggestion
