The principal financial condition is verified annual income of at least USD 60,000. It does not authorize ordinary employment, local clients, or selling goods or services in Indonesia. Applications are available through Indonesia’s official electronic visa system.
Visa at a glance
| Status | Official Name | Remote Work Allowed | Financial Rule | Fee | Validity / Stay | Application Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operational dedicated remote-work residence visa | E33G Visa Rumah Kedua Pekerja Jarak Jauh | Yes, for duties performed for a company outside Indonesia | Annual income of at least USD 60,000 | IDR 7,000,000 government charge | One-year stay; multiple entry while the re-entry permit remains valid | Online through the official Indonesian eVisa system |
The Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration’s E33G page is the controlling program guide. The official visa-selection service also lists a remote-worker category, confirming that this is an application-ready route rather than an announced proposal.
Immigration describes the E33G as a limited-stay visa. Entry and re-entry are permitted while the associated re-entry permit remains valid. The visa should therefore not be confused with Indonesia’s tourist visas or visa-on-arrival arrangements.
Eligibility, work rights, and financial requirement
The E33G is designed for people who carry out assignments for a company established outside Indonesia. The applicant must provide an employment agreement with that overseas company.
The published financial threshold is annual income of at least USD 60,000. This is an income requirement, not a USD 60,000 savings or minimum-bank-balance rule. Applicants should be ready to show documentary evidence that the income is real, ongoing and connected to the qualifying overseas employment.
The permission is narrower than a general freelance or Indonesian work authorization. An E33G holder may perform the approved foreign-company duties while residing in Indonesia, but must not:
-
Take employment with an Indonesian employer.
-
receive pay from an Indonesian individual or company for local work;
-
sell goods or services in the Indonesian market;
-
perform activities outside the purpose of the residence permit; or
-
remain after the authorized stay expires.
This distinction is actively enforced. Indonesian immigration has described the E33G as being specifically for remote workers attached to companies outside the country.
The official wording is most clearly suited to employees. Independent freelancers serving several foreign clients should not assume that client contracts are equivalent to the required overseas-company employment agreement. They should obtain written confirmation from immigration before applying.
Required documents and how to apply
The official Indonesian eVisa portal is the application channel. The principal applicant can create an account and select the remote-worker residence category. A private visa agent is not the government application portal.
The official E33G checklist requires electronic copies of documents including:
-
A passport valid for at least six months.
-
A recent colour passport photograph.
-
Bank statements demonstrating living funds of at least USD 2,000 or the equivalent.
-
Proof of annual income of at least USD 60,000.
-
An employment agreement with a company established outside Indonesia.
-
Any additional declarations or supporting records requested through the application account.
The USD 2,000 living-funds evidence and USD 60,000 annual-income rule are separate requirements. The first concerns available funds; the second establishes eligibility as a qualifying remote worker.
The usual online process is:
-
Create an account on the official eVisa website.
-
Choose the E33G remote-worker category and complete the application.
-
Upload the required passport, financial and employment documents.
-
Pay the government charge through the method shown in the portal.
-
Monitor the account for approval or requests for further evidence.
The visa must generally be used to enter Indonesia within 90 days of issuance. Official guidance does not publish a dependable universal processing time, so applicants should avoid making non-refundable arrangements until approval is issued.
Fees, validity, stay, extension, and renewal
The Directorate General of Immigration publishes a total government charge of IDR 7,000,000 for the one-year E33G package. Its stated components are:
