Indonesia, home to lush tropical forests, majestic volcanoes and some of the best beaches in the world, is now offering a remote worker visa to Indians. While the country doesn’t call it the Digital Nomad Visa, the E33G visa allows Indians to live and work in the country for a year.
Introduced in April 2024, this digital nomad visa or as it’s officially known as the Remote Worker Visa - E33G, is allowing Indians to work there like a digital nomad for up to a year. If you are a freelancer or remote employee with international clients, this visa is the right fit for you. Enjoy serene beaches, tropical weather, and lush island jungles, all while getting paid to work remotely. That’s exactly what Indonesia’s remote worker visa offers. The true feeling of being in vacation mode, every single day, starts right here.
Applicants can get the visa through filling out online application forms. Here are the steps that will get you closer to the tropical island in no time:
Visit the official Indonesian immigration website and complete the application for the E33G Digital Nomad Visa.
Pay the visa fee which is 7,000,000 IDR, that is approximately INR 37,317.
Wait for approval and when it’s approved you’ll have 90 days to enter Indonesia and if delayed the visa will expire
Finalise your KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) which is the limited stay application. This includes biometric registration as part of the residency process.
