Does Indonesia have a digital nomad visa?

Yes. Indonesia offers a dedicated digital-nomad or remote-work visa for people earning from outside the country, with a monthly income floor of roughly $5,000. Getting it is a moderate lift.

In practice: E33G remote-worker KITAS ($60k/yr, 1yr non-renewable) + retirement KITAS (60+) + Second Home (~$150k deposit). Residents taxed worldwide, top 35%.

Tax for foreign residents in Indonesia

For a foreign earner, Indonesia's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 35%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.

From visa to permanent residency

If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Indonesia, there is no clear path from this stay to permanent residency — several of these visas are explicitly capped or non-renewable. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.

Healthcare and insurance

Healthcare access for a foreigner in Indonesia is reasonably accessible. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $120 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
