Key takeaway: Indonesia's immigration website lists the E33G Second Home Remote Worker Visa, a limited stay visa for staying in Indonesia to carry out assignments from an overseas company. The official pages ask for a bank account that proves salary or income worth at least US$60,000 per year and an employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia, and say no sponsor is needed. They list a government fee of Rp7,000,000 for a one-year stay and say the stay permit can be extended.

Who it is for

The official Indonesian immigration website lists this route as the E33G Second Home Remote Worker Visa (Visa Rumah Kedua Pekerja Jarak Jauh). The page says the visa lets you stay in Indonesia to carry out assignments from an overseas company. It describes the visa as a limited stay visa that lets you enter and leave Indonesia within a certain period. The page says that while your re-entry permit is valid you may enter and leave Indonesia, and that you may also carry out tourism-related activities and visit friends or family.

Income and work evidence

The immigration page lists two special requirements: a bank account that proves income in the form of salary or income worth at least US$60,000 per year, and an employment contract with a company established outside Indonesia. The official eVisa website's information page for this visa lists the same two items in English. That page does not print the visa code. The eVisa page also lists a personal bank statement for the last 3 months with a minimum of USD 2,000 or equivalent, and says you must have sufficient living expenses while in Indonesia. The immigration page says you do not need a guarantor or sponsor to apply for this visa.

Documents and how to apply

The immigration page says you must have an account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id before applying, then log in and prepare electronic files (PDF or JPEG). The files it lists include a valid national passport with at least 6 months left before it expires, proof of living expenses, a recent colour photo from the last year, a curriculum vitae and a travel itinerary. The page gives a processing time of five working days after the visa payment is received. The eVisa visa-selection page also lists "Family Dependant for Remote Worker" as a separate visa option.

Fees

The immigration page's fee list (Biaya PNBP) shows Rp7,000,000 for a one-year stay. Below that line it lists four items: Rp500,000.00 for the limited stay visa, Rp2,000,000.00 as the Category II visa verification fee, Rp3,000,000.00 for a limited stay permit of up to one year, and Rp1,500,000.00 for a re-entry permit of up to one year. These four items add up to Rp7,000,000; the page does not say whether they are a breakdown of that amount. The eVisa page for this visa lists a cost of 7,000,000 for 1 year. The immigration page says the limited stay permit and the re-entry permit are issued automatically once the officer at the immigration checkpoint allows you to enter.

How long it lasts and renewal

The immigration page says you can stay in Indonesia for 1 year, that the stay permit can be extended online through evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and that it can be converted into another stay permit. The visa must be used to enter Indonesia within 90 days of issue, or a new visa is needed. The page on extending a limited stay permit lists E33G with a first permit of 1 year and says an extension may not exceed the first permit's length, with all permits together not exceeding 6 years.

Extending the permit

For a limited stay permit of up to 1 year, the extension page says applications are filed at the earliest 30 days before the permit ends and at the latest on the day it ends. It says the documents required for an extension are the same as for a limited stay visa application, with adjustments that include no minimum passport validity and no proof of living expenses. It also says an extension application filed, with the immigration fee paid, before the permit ends is not counted as overstay if processing finishes after the permit's term has ended. When Director General approval is not needed, processing takes at most 3 working days after the immigration fee is received; when it is needed, it takes at most 5 working days from the date the Director General receives the application. Extensions for nationals of Calling Visa countries are given only after the Director General approves.

Restrictions

The eVisa page for this visa says you are prohibited from selling goods or services, and from working by receiving compensation, wages or anything similar from individuals or companies in Indonesia. The immigration page says you are forbidden to stay in Indonesia beyond your stay permit, to do work that does not match the permit, and to sell goods or services unless this is needed for your work. The eVisa page for this visa also says that staying beyond the permit, engaging in prohibited activities or breaking visa conditions or Indonesian law may result in fines, deportation or other legal charges.

What this page does not cover

This page does not cover the fee for an extension, the requirements for family dependants, whether self-employed or freelance workers can use this visa, health insurance, tax treatment, or any list of occupations that count as remote work. Check the official pages for them.
