E33G Remote Worker Visa

Last verified 26 May 2026

About this visa & living in Indonesia (Bali)

Bali's E33G remote worker visa formalises what nomads have been doing on tourist visas for years. Canggu and Ubud are basically built around coworking, surfing and yoga, with a dense international community, cheap villas and a cost of living that lets even modest earners live very comfortably. Foreign-earned income is not taxed locally for the duration of the visa, and the rest of the Indonesian archipelago — Lombok, Sumba, the Gilis — is on your doorstep for weekends.
