E33G Digital Nomad KITAS Requirements 2026: Documents, Cost and Timeline

The E33G Digital Nomad KITAS is Indonesia’s main legal stay permit for remote workers in Bali who work only for employers or clients outside Indonesia. In practice, applicants must show USD 60,000 in annual income and at least USD 2,000 in savings, and the visa is typically issued for up to one year with multiple entry permitted.[1][4][5]

For digital nomads searching for a bali nomad villa, this matters because the visa now gives you a clearer legal route for a longer stay, without relying on short tourist entries or repeated visa runs.[1][3][7]

What the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS is for

The E33G, also described as the Remote Worker Visa or Digital Nomad KITAS, is designed for foreign nationals who live in Indonesia while continuing to work remotely for a company based outside Indonesia.[2][3][4]

You may work remotely for overseas employers or clients abroad.[2][4][5]
You may travel in and out of Indonesia during the validity period because it is multiple entry.[1][2][5]
You may do tourism and other visitor-style activities while staying in Indonesia.[5]
You may not receive income from Indonesian individuals or companies, or work for an Indonesian employer.[1][4][5]

That distinction is important. If your income is sourced from Indonesia, the E33G is not the correct route; you would need a different permit, usually a work-based KITAS.[1][4][5]

Eligibility requirements in 2026

Current Bali visa-agency and immigration-focused guides are aligned on the core requirements for E33G applicants.[1][2][3][4][5]

You must be a non-Indonesian citizen.[3]
You must have an employment contract or formal agreement with a company registered outside Indonesia.[1][2][4][5]
You must show annual income of at least USD 60,000 from that foreign work relationship.[1][4][5]
You must show at least USD 2,000 in personal savings in recent bank statements, usually the last three months.[1][5]
Your passport must be valid for at least six months, with some agents recommending more for safety.[1][5]
You must be admissible to Indonesia and not be on an immigration blacklist.[1]

Some 2025–2026 practitioner commentary mentions other income-threshold interpretations in official text, but the current English-language agency guidance used for applications consistently treats USD 60,000 per year as the working standard.[1][2][4][5]

Documents you will usually need

Most agencies supporting E33G applications ask for a standard document pack with identity, income, and work proof.[1][4][5]

Passport scan of the ID page, valid for at least six months.[1][5]
Recent colour photo in the required visa format.[1][5]
Bank statements from the last three months showing at least USD 2,000 in savings.[1][5]
Proof of income such as payslips, tax returns, an employment letter, or contract evidence showing at least USD 60,000 per year.[1][4][5]
Employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia.[1][4][5]
Curriculum Vitae summarising your professional background.[5]
Travel itinerary and intended entry details.[5]
Health or travel insurance covering your intended stay, which several 2026 guides describe as mandatory.[1][3]

Some agencies also ask for a brief explanation letter stating that all work is performed remotely for overseas clients or an overseas employer only.[3][4]

Cost of the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS in Bali

For 2026, typical Bali agency pricing for the E33G sits in the range of roughly IDR 18 million to IDR 30 million all-in, depending on service level and processing speed.[2][3][4]

That range is useful as a planning benchmark rather than a fixed quote. It generally reflects the combined effect of government charges and service fees, but actual pricing may differ by agency, turnaround time, and the level of assistance included.[2][3][4]

If you are comparing visa support alongside accommodation, a bali nomad villa search often overlaps with visa planning: many remote workers want to line up both housing and documentation before arrival.

Timeline and entry rules

The E33G is generally issued for one year, and the permit is multiple entry.[1][4][5]

Applicants are typically advised to have their documents ready before submission.[1][5]
Once approved, the visa must usually be used within 90 days from the date of issue.[1][5]
Processing time varies by agency and case complexity, but the practical workflow usually includes document review, submission, and approval coordination.[2][3][4]
Some guides note that renewal or reapplication is possible if the eligibility criteria continue to be met.[1][4]

In other words, the most time-sensitive part is not the stay itself but the readiness of your paperwork. Clean bank statements, a valid foreign work contract, and clear income proof are the items that most often determine whether the application moves smoothly.

What the visa allows and what it does not

The E33G is often described as a practical solution for remote workers who want legal residence in Bali without entering the local labour market.[1][4][5]

Allowed: remote work for overseas employers or clients abroad.[1][4][5]
Allowed: travel in and out of Indonesia during validity.[1][2][5]
Allowed: tourism and visiting friends or family.[5]
Not allowed: paid work for Indonesian companies or Indonesian clients.[1][4][5]
Not allowed: selling goods or services locally in Indonesia.[5]

This is the key compliance point. The visa is not a back door to local employment; it is a legal stay permit for foreign-sourced remote work only.[1][4][5]

How this connects to a long-stay villa search

For many applicants, the visa decision and the accommodation decision happen together. People looking for a bali nomad villa usually want a long-stay base with strong Wi-Fi, a workspace, and enough stability to support a one-year permit application and arrival planning.

That is why many enquiries to our visa concierge service begin with two questions: “Am I eligible for E33G?” and “Where should I live while I am there?” For clients who want a coordinated handoff, our team can help align the visa timeline with a suitable stay plan through our team.
