Work remotely from Bali, legally — whether you want six months of flexibility or a full year of settled residence.
Indonesia now has dedicated routes for remote workers, and using one is not just a formality — it is the difference between a stress-free year in Bali and the constant anxiety of overstaying or working on a tourist visa. The key rule across both options: your income must be sourced entirely from outside Indonesia. If you are employed by, or freelancing for, overseas clients or a foreign employer, you qualify. Working for an Indonesian company or client is a separate matter and requires a different permit entirely.
There are two mainstream routes in 2026. The C5A Creator & Remote Worker Visa suits those who want up to 180 days without committing to a full year — it is faster to obtain, simpler to qualify for, and a sensible first step. The E33G Digital Nomad KITAS is the route for those ready to settle properly: one year, renewable, with all the benefits of a full stay permit. Choosing between them depends mainly on how long you intend to stay and how much income documentation you can provide.
Up to 180 days, single entry. From USD 449 all-in. Simpler income documentation, faster processing. Ideal for those testing Bali for a season or not yet ready to commit to a full year.
1 year, renewable, multiple entry. From IDR 13,000,000. Requires approximately USD 60,000/year in verifiable foreign income. Foreign-sourced income is not taxed in Indonesia. The settled remote worker's permit.
Short stay or first visit → C5A. Planning to stay a year or longer, or ready to put down roots → E33G KITAS. We help you weigh income proof, timeline, and budget to make the right call first time.
