The Digital Nomad KITAS, coded E33G, is a limited-stay permit — a KITAS — rather than a short tourist or creator visa. That distinction matters. Where a C5A Creator Visa gives you up to six months and then ends, the E33G is valid for a full year and can be renewed, giving remote workers a far more durable footing on the island.
It is aimed at people who genuinely earn their income from outside Indonesia: salaried remote employees and self-employed professionals whose companies and clients sit abroad. Because it is a residence permit, it unlocks practical things a visitor visa cannot, most notably the ability to open a local Indonesian bank account and live as a settled, longer-term resident.
A tourist extension or a Creator Visa keeps you here for weeks or a handful of months at a time. The E33G changes the unit of measurement from days to years. As a limited-stay permit it is the step up for nomads who have already decided Bali works for them and want to stop renewing short visas every few months. It is more stable, more official, and built for people putting down roots.
Because the permit rewards genuine remote earners, you will typically need to show evidence of employment or income from a company based outside Indonesia. A figure that is commonly cited as a guideline is an annual income of around USD 60,000, supported by documents such as an employment contract and recent bank statements. We confirm the current expectations and help you assemble proof that stands up to scrutiny.
The everyday benefits are what make the E33G worthwhile. A year-long permit lets you sign longer leases with confidence, settle into a community, and crucially open a local bank account — something that smooths rent, bills and daily spending enormously. For established remote workers, it turns Bali from a place you visit into a place you actually live.
One renewable permit replaces the cycle of short visas, so you can plan your life with confidence.

The Creator Visa (C5A) is a short-stay visa of up to 180 days. The Digital Nomad KITAS (E33G) is a limited-stay permit valid for a full year and renewable, giving you a longer, more stable presence and benefits a short visa cannot, such as a local bank account.
You will generally need to demonstrate remote income from a company outside Indonesia. A commonly cited guideline is an annual income of around USD 60,000, evidenced by documents such as a contract and bank statements. We confirm the current requirements for your case.
