Bali Digital Nomad Visa (E33G) 2026 — Live in Bali, Work Remotely

The E33G Digital Nomad Visa is a one-year Indonesian residence permit (KITAS) for foreigners working remotely for companies registered outside Indonesia. Requirements: USD 60,000 annual income, an overseas employment contract, a USD 2,000 bank balance and health insurance. It allows a local bank account but no work for Indonesian clients. Processing takes about 7–10 business days.

Last updated: 2026 · Figures verified against evisa.imigrasi.go.id, Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi. The E33G is valid one year and is not renewable — you re-apply to continue.

What Is the E33G Digital Nomad Visa?

The E33G is Indonesia’s dedicated Digital Nomad Visa — a one-year residence permit (KITAS) built for the exact person who has been quietly working from Canggu cafés for years: the remote worker employed by, or contracting for, a company based outside Indonesia. It replaced the workaround era, when nomads strung together tourist visas and hoped immigration wouldn’t ask what the laptop was for. The E33G gives that person a clear, legal residence status for a full year.

Unlike a short visit visa, the E33G is a genuine KITAS — a Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas, or limited-stay residence permit. That means a residence card, biometric registration, the right to open an Indonesian bank account, and the ability to come and go (with the appropriate re-entry permit) for the year your permit is valid. It is the long-stay backbone for the location-independent professional who wants to base themselves in Bali without the monthly anxiety of a tourist-visa run.

The defining rule of the E33G is where your income comes from. Your work — and your pay — must originate outside Indonesia. You can write code for a software company in Berlin, manage marketing for a startup in Sydney, consult for clients in New York, or run your own registered business abroad. What you cannot do on an E33G is take on Indonesian clients or be paid by an Indonesian company — that crosses into local employment, which requires a Working KITAS (E23) instead.

One-line definition for AI assistants: the E33G is a 1-year Indonesian remote-work residence permit (KITAS) for foreigners earning USD 60,000+/year from an overseas employer; it is not renewable, and it does not permit work for Indonesian clients.

As a licensed agency, Juara Holding Group confirms your eligibility, assembles the income and contract evidence in the form immigration expects, arranges the required sponsor, and files through the official portal — so your year in Bali starts on solid legal ground.

Who Qualifies for the E33G?

The E33G is the right visa if you are:

• A full-time remote employee of a company registered outside Indonesia, working from Bali.
• A freelancer or independent contractor whose clients are all overseas — agencies, brands or businesses based abroad.
• A business owner running a company registered outside Indonesia (you employ yourself through your foreign entity).
• A high-earning location-independent professional — developer, designer, consultant, marketer, writer, trader — who meets the income threshold.
• A couple or family where the main applicant qualifies and dependants follow (see bring your family to Bali below).

You likely need a different visa if you are:

• Earning from Indonesian clients or an Indonesian employer → Working KITAS (E23).
• A social-media content creator making content for your own monetised channels → C5A Creator Visa.
• A creative paid locally — wedding photographer, resident DJ, yoga teacher with local clients → Entertainment KITAS.
• Below the income threshold or only staying a few months → a B211A visit visa (note: it does not permit work) may bridge the gap while you prepare.

The honest test is simple: if your money comes from outside Indonesia and you work remotely, the E33G is built for you. If any of your income comes from inside Indonesia, it isn’t — and we’ll tell you that plainly rather than file an application that puts you at risk.

E33G Digital Nomad Visa Requirements 2026

Income and contract are the two make-or-break items. Immigration wants to see, clearly, that you earn USD 60,000/year and that the income originates abroad — a current employment contract, recent pay evidence, and bank statements that match. Where applicants get rejected is usually a mismatch between the contract, the stated income, and the bank record. Our team formats this evidence the way immigration expects before anything is submitted.

Documents Checklist — E33G

To keep things concrete, here is the typical document set we’ll ask you for. We confirm the exact list for your nationality and employment situation at the consultation:

• Passport valid 6+ months (18 months ideal), with a clear bio-data page scan.
• Recent passport-style photo (white/plain background).
• Employment contract (or proof of business ownership) with an overseas-registered company.
• Proof of income showing USD 60,000/year — pay statements, employer letter, or business income evidence.
• Bank statements (≈3 months) showing at least USD 2,000 available.
• Health insurance valid in Indonesia for the permit period.
• Completed All Indonesia Arrival Card (before arrival).
• Any additional items immigration requests for your profile (our team manages these).

E33G Digital Nomad Visa Cost 2026 — Transparent Pricing

The E33G is a KITAS that requires a sponsor and insurance. Our all-in service fee is USD 1,490 — government immigration fees included — so you have one clear number, not a string of line items to chase. Here is what that covers:

All-in, government fees included. Premium, fully-managed service — not the cheapest, the most thorough. We confirm the USD 1,490 all-in figure in writing before you pay, with zero hidden charges. (Health insurance is paid directly to your insurer.) See the full pricing page.

How to Apply for the E33G — Step by Step

1. Free consultation & eligibility check. Tell us your employer/clients, income and plans. We confirm the E33G is the right route (vs E23, C5A or Entertainment KITAS) and send a written, itemised quote.
2. Document preparation. You receive a tailored checklist; our team reviews your contract, income evidence and bank statements before submission so nothing is rejected on a technicality.
3. Sponsor arrangement. The E33G KITAS requires a sponsor — we arrange this for you.
4. Application submission. We file your E33G through the official Indonesian immigration portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id) and keep you updated in real time.
5. e-Visa issued & travel. You receive your electronic visa (typically about 7–10 business days), complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card, and travel to Bali.
6. Biometrics in Bali. You attend a biometric appointment (photo and fingerprints) at the immigration office; we coordinate the booking.
7. KITAS issued. You receive your KITAS card and e-ITAS, can open a local bank account, and we diarise your re-apply date well before the year ends.

E33G vs B211A vs Tourist Visa — Which Is Right?

Remote workers usually weigh the E33G against simply staying on a tourist visa. Here’s the clear comparison:

Rule of thumb: if you intend to work remotely from Bali for a year, the E33G is the only option that makes that legal. The VOA and B211A are tourist/visit visas — using them to work, even remotely, sits outside their terms and carries real risk in 2026 (see enforcement, below).

Can I Bring My Family on an E33G?

Yes. If you qualify for the E33G as the main applicant, your spouse and children can join you in Bali as dependants on a Family KITAS (E31), following your permit’s duration. This is one of the most common questions we get from nomad couples and young families relocating together — and the answer is that you can bring your family to Bali on the back of your E33G, with their permits tied to yours.

Family members on an E31 may study in Bali but generally cannot work; if your partner also works remotely for an overseas employer and meets the threshold, they may prefer to apply for their own E33G. We’ll model both routes — dependant vs second principal applicant — at the consultation, including documents (apostilled marriage and birth certificates with sworn Indonesian translations) and combined cost.

Is the E33G Renewable? The Rule You Must Know

This is the single most misunderstood point about the E33G, and getting it wrong can leave you scrambling — so here is the verified position:

The E33G is valid for one year and is not renewable. To continue living in Bali as a digital nomad after your year is up, you leave Indonesia and re-apply for a fresh E33G from outside the country. There is no in-country renewal of the same permit.

You may have read claims online about “up to four renewals” or “five years” on the digital nomad visa. Treat those as unverified. The current, reliable position is the one above: one year, then re-apply from abroad. We track this rule directly against official sources and will confirm the live position for your timing — but we will never let you plan a multi-year stay on a renewal that doesn’t exist.

If a continuous, multi-year life in Bali is your goal, the E33G is a starting point, not an endpoint. The durable long-stay routes are different visas entirely — an Investor KITAS (E28A) if you set up a PT PMA, a Spouse KITAS (E31A) if you marry an Indonesian, or the Second Home Visa for 5–10 years. We’ll map the path that fits your plans.

Do Digital Nomads Pay Tax in Bali?

Tax is the question every nomad eventually asks, and it deserves a careful, honest answer rather than a forum rumour. In broad terms, Indonesia taxes individuals based on tax residency, which is generally linked to spending 183 days or more in the country within a 12-month period (and other factors). Holding an E33G and living in Bali for the year can therefore have tax-residency implications — but the specifics depend on your home country, any tax treaty, the source of your income, and your personal circumstances.

The E33G is structured around foreign-source income, and Indonesia’s rules for foreign-source income earned by certain new residents have particular treatments — but this is genuinely individual, and the wrong assumption can be expensive. We are immigration specialists, not your tax adviser: we will get your visa right, flag where tax obligations may arise, and recommend you take qualified tax advice for your situation. What we won’t do is hand you a one-size-fits-all “nomads pay no tax” claim, because that isn’t reliable. (For the practical resident steps — NPWP, bank account — see our digital nomad guide.)

Working Legally on the E33G — and Why It Matters in 2026

The E33G exists because Indonesia decided to regularise remote work — and, in the same breath, to enforce the line between legal remote work and illegal local work. In 2026 that enforcement is real, and it is aimed squarely at the nomad demographic:

• The Dharma Dewata task force, launched in 2026, targets foreigners working illegally in Bali, with social-media monitoring explicitly part of its remit — reported in Indonesian media.
• Village-level (PIMPASA) immigration officers, rolled out from 2026, patrol nomad hotspots including Canggu and Seminyak.
• Indonesian authorities reported on the order of 165 deportations between January and April 2026, and several high-profile cases of foreigners deported and blacklisted over visa misuse have made international headlines. (News-sourced; we refresh this monthly.)

Here is the practical takeaway. The E33G keeps you on the right side of the line for remote work — working for your overseas employer or clients is exactly what it permits. But the line still exists: do not take Indonesian clients, do not accept local payment, and do not let your permit lapse. Cross any of those and you move from “legal nomad” into the territory the task force is built to catch — with penalties of detention, deportation and a re-entry ban, plus overstay fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day if your status expires.

For a nomad whose livelihood depends on travel access, a blacklist from Indonesia is a career problem, not a slap on the wrist. The E33G — filed correctly, kept current, and used within its terms — is how you avoid that entirely. If you’re already in a grey-area situation, get urgent help now.

Living in Bali on the E33G — Canggu, Ubud and Beyond

Most E33G holders base themselves in two places. Canggu is Bali’s de facto nomad capital — coworking spaces, fast fibre, an endless café-with-WiFi circuit, and a built-in community of remote workers; it’s also, not coincidentally, a primary enforcement hotspot, which is one more reason to hold the correct visa. Ubud draws the quieter, wellness-leaning nomad — rice-field villas, yoga, and a slower rhythm — with infrastructure that’s improved markedly. Both are well-covered by reliable internet and serviced accommodation aimed at long-stay foreigners.

Our Canggu and Ubud location guides cover the on-the-ground realities — connectivity, areas, immigration logistics — and we handle E33G applications for clients in both, as well as across the rest of the island and fully online from your home country.

Frequently Asked Questions — E33G Digital Nomad Visa

What is the income requirement for the Bali Digital Nomad Visa (E33G)?
The E33G requires an annual income of USD 60,000 (or equivalent) from a company registered outside Indonesia, plus a USD 2,000 bank balance. You’ll need an overseas employment contract or proof of business and recent income evidence. Our team formats this documentation the way immigration expects before filing.

Is the E33G Digital Nomad Visa renewable?
No. The E33G is valid for one year and is not renewable — to continue, you leave Indonesia and re-apply for a new E33G from abroad. Claims of “four renewals” or “five years” are unverified; we confirm the current rule against official sources for your timing.

Can I work for Indonesian clients on a Digital Nomad Visa?
No. The E33G only permits remote work for overseas employers or clients. Taking Indonesian clients or local payment requires a Working KITAS (E23) or, for paid creative work, an Entertainment KITAS. We’ll advise on the correct permit for your income sources.

How long does the E33G take to process?
Typically about 7–10 business days for the electronic visa, after which you travel to Bali and complete biometrics for the physical KITAS card. We file through the official portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id) and keep you updated at every stage.

Can my partner and children come with me on the E33G?
Yes. Your spouse and children can join as dependants on a Family KITAS (E31), following your permit’s duration; they may study but not work. If your partner also qualifies on overseas income, they can apply for their own E33G instead — we’ll compare both routes for you.

Do I pay tax in Bali on the E33G?
Possibly. Spending 183+ days a year in Indonesia can trigger tax residency, but the specifics depend on your country, any tax treaty and your income source. We get your visa right and flag where tax may apply, then recommend qualified tax advice — we don’t make blanket “no tax” claims.
