However, there comes also responsibility when being an Indonesian resident. Beside obtaining the right to stay in Indonesia long-term, which will be covered by getting the KITAS Temporary Resident Permit, it is important to look into potential fiscal consequences – in Indonesia and also in your original home country.

By having a KITAS, foreign nationals become an Indonesian tax resident and therefore must apply for an NPWP (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak/ Tax File Number) at the local tax office.

They must be responsible to file their annual tax report (usually in March). 

Please contact a reputable tax consultant for more information about your tax status if you are a foreign nationals with KITAS (temporary resident) or KITAP (permanent resident).

An offshore Application means, that you are NOT YET in Indonesia and apply from “outside”.

For remote worker visa (E33G), in case of an offshore application, you will first get a single entry Visa and then complete the KITAS process while in Indonesia. 

An onshore Application means, who are ALREADY in Indonesia and are applying for a Visa or Stay Permit.

This process is called “Alih Status Keimigrasian (Change of the Immigration Status)”.

For remote worker visa/KITAS onshore applications you must have arrived at least with a 211A visit visa (tourism).

Unfortunately, you cannot change your immigration status onshore if you are coming to Indonesia with a Visa on Arrival (VOA).

You can only apply for the Remote Worker Visa onshore (while in Indonesia) if you have arrived with a 211A visit visa or hold another KITAs type (depends). 

Unfortunately NO, you cannot set up nor run any business with your Remote Worker Visa/KITAS.

Your Spouse and Family can apply for “Dependent / Family / Spouse KITAS. 

In general one ca say, that a remote worker has the flexibility to work from any location without the need to be in a fixed office environment. This means they can perform their job duties from home, a café, or anywhere they have internet access, and also anywhere in the world. They can be employed by a company, or self-employed.

A digital nomad, however, takes this concept further by integrating travel as a fundamental part of their lifestyle. They are a type of remote worker who lives abroad, and might frequently move, often working from various cities or countries, embracing a lifestyle that combines work with exploration and travel
