If you want to live in Indonesia while continuing to work for a company established abroad, the E33G remote worker visa is the category to review. Indonesia’s published requirements ask for a foreign employment agreement, evidence of at least USD 60,000 in annual income, and separate proof of funds for living expenses. The E33G is a limited stay visa for a one-year stay, and Indonesian Immigration lists it as a category that does not require a sponsor.

Who qualifies for Indonesia’s E33G visa?
The E33G is designed for foreign nationals who will carry out duties remotely for a company established outside Indonesia. A typical applicant is an employee who will keep their existing overseas job while living in Indonesia. The category does not authorise employment with an Indonesian company or paid work for Indonesian clients. Ngurah Rai Immigration’s E33G guidance.
If you are a freelancer, run your own business, or work through a staffing intermediary, check your arrangement before applying. The published checklist calls for an employment agreement with a company established abroad. Overseas invoices or payments alone may leave that requirement unaddressed.

What documents do you need for an E33G application?
| Document | What to check before filing |
|---|---|
| Passport | Prepare a valid national passport with at least six months remaining. |
| Recent colour photograph | Use a current photo that meets the format shown on the official portal. |
| Employment agreement | Prepare the signed agreement with the company established outside Indonesia. Make sure it clearly identifies the employer and the applicant. |
| Proof of annual income | Prepare bank records showing salary or income of at least USD 60,000 per year. |
| Proof of living funds | Prepare bank statements for the latest three months showing at least USD 2,000, or its equivalent. |
| CV and travel itinerary | Keep your employment details and planned travel dates consistent with the rest of the application. |
Indonesian Immigration’s published E33G requirements.
The USD 60,000 annual income and USD 2,000 proof of funds are separate checks. A bank statement may show that you have enough savings for living expenses without establishing your annual earnings. If your salary is paid in another currency or the bank statement uses a different name for your employer, review whether the records clearly connect the payments to your employment agreement.
How to apply for the E33G remote worker visa
- Select E33G on the official portal. Use the Indonesian eVisa portal and confirm the current checklist for the remote worker category.
- Upload your employment and financial records. Check that the passport name, employer name, and payment records are consistent. Submit files in the format the portal requests.
- Follow the official billing instructions. Indonesian Immigration publishes a government fee of IDR 7,000,000 for the one-year E33G. Confirm the amount shown in the official billing notice. Any private consultation fee is separate.
- Check the entry deadline once your visa is issued. The published guidance gives you 90 days from issuance to use the visa for entry. That window is separate from the authorised one-year stay. After Immigration admits you, verify the details and expiry dates on your electronic ITAS and re-entry permit.
