Digital Nomad Visa Bali

A digital nomad visa is a document that gives you the legal right to work remotely while residing outside of your country of permanent residence.

It therefore enables holders to retain their current employment based in another country while residing in their country of choice.

Applicants often receive tax benefits as well as the right to stay and in a place such as the European Union for a much longer period of time than the other visa options would allow.

Bali is already a favourite destination of Digital Nomads due to its warm climate, paradise beaches, low living costs and world-class diving and surfing.

However, the problem is that the current visa options in Bali simply don’t allow long-term stays.

If you want to work from Indonesia you currently have the following three options:

• Visa on Arrival (VoA) valid for 30 days
• Tourist visa extendable to 60 days
• Business visa extendable to 180 days

If you stay in Indonesia for more than 183 days, then you automatically become a tax resident and you need to pay Indonesia’s tax rates on your foreign earnings.

The exact details regarding when and how to apply as well as the requirements in order to be eligible have not been fully announced yet.

It seems to be likely though that you there will be a minimum income requirement as it has been the case for most of the digital nomad visas.

Once launched, the Indonesia five-year digital nomad visa will be available through a streamlined application process to facilitate the entry for digital nomads.

As of today, the following requirements in order to be eligible are known:

You need to work remotely for a company outside of Indonesia and get paid to a foreign bank account.

Own a company abroad and only do business outside of Indonesia.
