Tax implications: Tourist/visit status; remote work for foreign clients on a VOA is a legal grey area and not a work authorisation. Short stays do not trigger tax residency (well under 183 days).

Entry route for a short scouting/testing stay, not a nomad solution: 30+30 days maximum. Not a work permit; only foreign-source remote work is tolerated in practice and it is not a legalised remote-work basis. Eligible-country list and fee per the official eVisa portal.

The pre-arranged visit-visa counterpart to the VOA, mainly for nationalities outside the VOA list. Recorded duration reflects the ~60-day single-entry stay; the underlying visa validity is 90 days. Fee Rp 500,000 per the official eVisa portal. Not a remote-work legalisation — listed to complete the short-stay picture. NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: confirm the current C1 stay length and extension rules on a dedicated official C1 page (the fetched eVisa page conflated visit-visa and VOA details).

Tax implications: Holders working only for foreign employers and staying 183+ days generally become Indonesian tax residents (taxed on worldwide income), though a common practical reading treats the remote foreign salary as outside scope while no Indonesian-source income is earned — confirm current DJP position. Indonesian-source income is prohibited under this permit.

Live since April 2024 (legal basis PP 45/2024 on PNBP and Permenkumham 11/2024 on visas/stay permits). Headline PNBP recorded is Rp 7,000,000 for the 1-year limited stay permit; additional official PNBP items apply (visa Rp 500,000; Category-II verification Rp 2,000,000; re-entry permit up to Rp 1,500,000). One-year KITAS, extendable. Excludes self-employed/freelancers — a real limitation for solo contractors, who must use the Second Home or Investor KITAS instead.

Tax implications: For living in Indonesia, not working in it: no Indonesian employment or Indonesian-source income allowed. Remote income for foreign clients/employers is the typical use; tax residency still follows the 183-day rule, so long stayers may become Indonesian tax residents.related scheme →related scheme →

The most practical long-stay route for a self-employed remote earner who is excluded from the E33G. Grants a 5-year (extendable to a 10-year) KITAS. Recorded applicationFee is the 5-year ITAS PNBP (Rp 7,000,000 was the E33E figure; the E33 Second Home ITAS PNBP is in the same range — total package incl. visa/verification/re-entry is commonly ~Rp 13,000,000; treat the fee field as indicative and re-verify per current PNBP table). incomeRequirement is repurposed to carry the Rp 2bn proof-of-funds (a stock, not annual income).

Tax implications: No Indonesian employment or Indonesian-source income permitted. Aimed at retirees/passive-income earners rather than active freelancers; tax residency follows the 183-day rule.

The official E33E page specifies a 55+ age gate, USD ~50,000 deposit and USD 3,000/month income, with a 5-year ITAS (extendable to 10 years) and total PNBP around Rp 13,000,000 (ITAS Rp 7,000,000 + visa Rp 500,000 + verification Rp 2,000,000 + re-entry Rp 3,500,000). Included for completeness; the plain E33 Second Home (Rp 2bn proof of funds, no age gate) is the more common nomad route.

Investor KITAS (index E28A, formerly C313/C314). 1-year or 2-year validity, extendable up to ~6 years total; a route to KITAP (permanent stay) after continuous residence.

Only realistic for freelancers willing to set up and capitalise a PT PMA.
