C5A Creator & Remote Worker Visa

A visa built for digital nomads and content creators who work for clients or employers based entirely outside Indonesia. Up to 180 days in Bali, from USD 449, with a straightforward single-entry application.

Overview

Work remotely from Bali — legitimately

The C5A gives remote workers and content creators a legal framework to base themselves in Bali for up to six months. Unlike a tourist visa, it acknowledges the reality of location-independent work and provides a permit that matches it — provided your clients or employer operate entirely outside Indonesia. It is the right entry point for digital nomads who want meaningful time in Bali without the longer commitment of an annual KITAS.

Bali Visa Now handles the C5A application from first document check to final approval. We prepare your full file, liaise with the relevant authorities, and keep you informed throughout — so you can focus on your work rather than your immigration paperwork.

Questions & Answers

C5A questions

Can I work for Indonesian clients or companies on a C5A?

No. The C5A permits remote work exclusively for clients or employers based outside Indonesia. Engaging in paid work for an Indonesian company or individual while holding a C5A violates the visa conditions and could result in cancellation or deportation. If your work involves Indonesian clients, contact us to discuss the appropriate permit.

How does the C5A compare to the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS?

The C5A is a single-entry visit visa valid for up to 180 days — simpler to obtain and a lower commitment. The E33G is a full KITAS (temporary stay permit) valid for one year and renewable, offering greater stability for those who plan to live in Bali long-term. If you are testing the nomad lifestyle in Bali or need fewer than six months, the C5A is the natural starting point. If you plan to stay and renew annually, the E33G is worth exploring.
