Summary
Indonesia's overseas remote-worker visa is for people who live in Indonesia while continuing qualifying work for an employer based outside the country.
The E33G category appears in Indonesia's current official visa inventory. You must fit the foreign-employer remote-work purpose and provide the employment, income, passport, and other evidence requested in the current electronic filing system.
Pathway fit check
Eligibility
- You are employed by a company established outside Indonesia and will perform that work remotely.
- You can document the employment relationship and the current required income level.
- Your passport and supporting records meet the live E33G filing requirements.
- You will not use this status as permission for ordinary local Indonesian employment.
The issuing authority makes the final decision. A quick check can identify a plausible fit, but it cannot confirm approval or replace the current application guidance.
What This Route Allows
- If approved, you can reside in Indonesia for the period granted while doing the qualifying overseas remote work.
- The route avoids the need to treat the foreign employer as an Indonesian local-work sponsor.
What This Route Is Not
- It is not a general freelance or Indonesian employment permit.
- Published requirements may change in the live visa system, so an old income threshold should not be assumed.
Next Steps
- Open the current E33G entry in Indonesia's official visa system.
- Confirm that your employer and work location fit the foreign-employer definition.
- Collect the employment contract, income evidence, passport, photograph, and any current declarations.
- Apply electronically before making plans that depend on approval.
