Checked against Indonesian Immigration and eVisa sources on July 4, 2026.
Indonesia's E33G remote worker visa is easy to misread if you only look at the headline.
Official Indonesian Immigration says the stay period is one year. The same official page says the visa is valid for 90 days from issuance for entry, and that visa validity is different from the stay period.
Short answer: track the visa issue date, the 90-day use-by date, the entry date, the stay-permit period, and every Indonesia entry or exit separately.
Jetseen helps you track days - always consult a qualified tax, legal, or immigration professional for advice specific to your situation.
What is Indonesia's E33G remote worker visa?
Indonesian Immigration lists E33G as Visa Rumah Kedua Pekerja Jarak Jauh.
The official page says it is for staying in Indonesia to carry out duties from a company outside Indonesia. It also says applicants do not need a sponsor.
This is an Indonesia visa category. Bali may be the place many people search for, but the official source describes an Indonesian visa.
How long can an E33G holder stay?
Official Indonesian Immigration says the stay period is one year.
That is different from the visa-use window. The same official source says the visa is valid for 90 days from issuance for entry, and warns that visa validity is different from the stay period.
Keep those two clocks separate:
| Clock | What it means |
|---|---|
| Visa validity for entry | 90 days from issuance, according to Indonesian Immigration |
| Stay period | One year, according to Indonesian Immigration |
Do not treat "90 days" as the stay period. Do not treat "one year" as one year from every possible approval or payment date without checking the official documents issued to you.
What requirements do the official sources list?
The official Indonesian Immigration and eVisa sources list several required materials.
The source-backed items include:
- passport valid for at least six months
- recent bank statement with at least USD 2,000 or equivalent
- photo
- CV
- itinerary
- proof of salary or income of at least USD 60,000 per year
- employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia
That last point matters. The research pack did not add an official freelancer path, so this guide does not claim one.
If your work setup is not a foreign-company employment contract, ask the official channel or a qualified immigration professional before assuming E33G applies.
What work is restricted?
The official eVisa FAQ says the holder is prohibited from working by receiving compensation, wages, or similar from individuals or companies in Indonesia.
In plain English: do not read E33G as permission to take Indonesian local paid work unless an official source or qualified professional says your situation fits.
This guide does not decide whether a client, platform, contract, or payment path is allowed. It only flags the official compensation restriction because it is a recordkeeping risk.
What happens after entry?
Indonesian Immigration says an electronic limited stay permit and re-entry permit issue automatically once entry is allowed by an immigration officer at the checkpoint.
That gives you more than one date to save:
- visa issuance date
- visa use-by date
- payment date
- entry date
- checkpoint approval record
- e-ITAS record
- re-entry permit record
- stay-permit expiry date
- extension review date
The official Immigration page says the stay permit can be extended online through evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
It also says processing time is five working days after visa payment is received. Treat that as the official processing-time wording, not as a promise for every file.
What should E33G holders track?
Keep a visa file that someone else can understand later.
Track:
- application date
- payment date
- visa issuance date
- 90-day entry deadline
- Indonesia entry date
- e-ITAS and re-entry permit details
- stay period start and end dates
- extension reminder
- every Indonesia exit and re-entry
- employment-contract document used for the application
- income-proof document used for the application
- bank-statement proof used for the application
- notes from Indonesian Immigration, eVisa, or a qualified advisor
That may feel boring now. It is much easier than rebuilding the timeline from inbox searches after the fact.
Should you track Indonesia tax days too?
Yes, if Indonesia is becoming a meaningful part of your year. But do not use this E33G immigration guide as an Indonesia tax-residency guide.
The official E33G sources in the research pack support visa requirements, stay period, entry window, and work restrictions. They do not decide your tax position.
Keep these as separate records:
| Record | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| E33G visa record | Your visa issue, entry, stay-permit, extension, and re-entry timeline |
| Indonesia day count | Your actual physical presence in Indonesia |
| Work restriction notes | Your foreign-company contract and no-local-compensation evidence |
| Tax/advisor file | Professional advice and tax-source analysis, if needed |
Jetseen can help with the records. It does not decide Indonesian tax residence.
