Bali digital nomad visa: What the E33G permit actually allows

There is no Indonesian visa formally named the “Bali digital nomad visa”. The term generally refers to the E33G Remote Worker Visa, a national limited-stay permit for foreigners working for an employer or clients outside Indonesia. It can be used in Bali, but eligibility depends on foreign-source work and documented income.

What is the Bali digital nomad visa?

The E33G is Indonesia’s remote-worker route, not a Bali-specific permit. Genki describes it as a limited-stay visa tied to a KITAS and valid across Indonesia, while Datumbali identifies the official immigration category as E33G Remote Worker Visa.

The visa is intended for remote work connected to a company or legal entity outside Indonesia. A contract with an overseas company is among the stated requirements, so the permit should not be treated as a general authorisation to take Indonesian employment.

Who qualifies for the E33G?

Applicants must show annual income of at least US$60,000, according to Datumbali, 2026, and must provide proof of an employment contract with a company outside Indonesia. The same page says applicants must also submit evidence of living costs, including three months of bank statements showing at least US$2,000.

Datumbali lists a passport valid for at least six months, proof of income, a recent colour photograph and the overseas employment contract among the application documents. These requirements distinguish the E33G from a short visit visa, whose purpose is not described as remote employment by the sources used here.

How long does it last?

The E33G is issued for up to one year, according to Genki, 2026. Datumbali says the visa itself is valid for 90 days from issuance for travel to Indonesia; after arrival, the stay permit is issued automatically at the checkpoint.

The permit is national rather than island-specific. That means Bali is covered, but the category is an Indonesian immigration product and does not create a separate Bali immigration status.

Can a holder work for Indonesian clients?

The sources describe the E33G as applying to work for overseas employers or companies outside Indonesia. Datumbali states that the required contract must be with a company that is a legal entity outside Indonesia, while Genki says the route is for people working remotely for a company based outside Indonesia.

That distinction matters for Bali’s labour market: holding an E33G is not presented by these sources as permission to accept local employment. Work involving an Indonesian company may require a different immigration and employment arrangement.

What should applicants check before applying?

Applicants should compare the current requirements and fees on Indonesia’s official immigration portal before submitting an application, because the E33G is an Indonesian national visa and the rules concern immigration status, not a tourism label. Datumbali reports a state fee of Rp7,000,000 for up to one year, according to its 2026 guide.

The practical answer is therefore straightforward: “Bali digital nomad visa” is search shorthand for the E33G Remote Worker Visa. It is relevant to Bali only as part of a national permit for qualifying remote workers whose employment and income are based abroad.
