QUICK ANSWER
How do Indonesia’s Golden Visa and remote-worker visa differ?
“Nomad visa” is an informal label; check the official E33G second-home remote-worker category. Golden Visa routes include E28B for company establishment and E28C for capital-market investment. Required funds are distinct from the visa fee. E33G lasts one year, costs Rp7,000,000 in government fees and requires income of at least US$60,000 a year from a company outside Indonesia. Golden Visa investor and second-home routes last five or ten years and cost Rp13,000,000 or Rp19,500,000, separate from the investment or deposit, which usually has to be in place within 90 days.

Investor versus remote worker
Investor routes require investment evidence and may have post-entry commitments. E33G targets remote workers; do not treat it as permission to work for an Indonesian employer. Conditions and thresholds can change by code.
E33G evidence and Golden Visa investment deadlines
For E33G, Immigration lists at least US$60,000 annual income and an employment agreement with a company outside Indonesia. It also lists recent bank statements for living funds. This is not authority to take employment with an Indonesian company.
For E28B/E28C, check acceptable proof and post-entry commitment deadlines. The official page gives 90 days for specified investment commitments. Read your exact code before moving money.
Second-home and retiree Golden Visas: E33 and E33E
E33 (Second Home Golden Visa) gives a first ITAS of up to five years with no sponsor, for Rp13,000,000. The immigration guarantee is either at least US$130,000 in an account in your own name at a state-owned bank, or a flat or apartment worth at least US$1,000,000. You must meet and report the commitment to the immigration office within 90 days and keep the guarantee at that value for as long as the stay permit is valid.
E33E, for people aged 55 or over, also lasts five years with no sponsor, for Rp13,000,000. It requires at least US$50,000 at a state-owned bank within 90 days and proof of income or pension of at least US$3,000 a month. The one-year version (E33F, not a Golden Visa) needs a sponsor and the same income proof, for Rp7,000,000. The age threshold has been 55 since Permenkumham 11/2024; it was 60 before.
According to the Immigration code pages, E33 and E33E holders may work or study after reporting the additional activity to the immigration office that issued the permit. The same pages say fees already paid are not refunded if the application is refused.
E33G remote worker: requirements, rights and limits
E33G is based on Article 63 of Permenkumham 22/2023: you work for a company incorporated outside Indonesia and show salary or income of at least US$60,000 a year. The Immigration code page also asks for a passport valid for at least six months, bank statements for the last three months showing at least US$2,000, a photo, a CV, an itinerary and an employment contract with a company outside Indonesia. No sponsor is needed.
The Rp7,000,000 fee is made up of the limited-stay visa (Rp500,000), category II verification (Rp2,000,000), a one-year ITAS (Rp3,000,000) and a one-year re-entry permit (Rp1,500,000). The visa is valid for 90 days from issue and is processed within five working days of payment. The ITAS and re-entry permit are issued automatically when you are admitted, and extensions are made online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
E33G lets you carry out work for your overseas company, travel, visit friends or family, and leave and re-enter while the re-entry permit is valid. The code page prohibits work that does not match the permit and selling goods or services unless your job requires it. Working for an employer in Indonesia is not an E33G activity.
Golden Visa investors: types of evidence and the 90-day deadline
E28B is for individual investors setting up a company: a commitment to paid-up capital or investment of at least US$2,500,000 (five years) or US$5,000,000 (ten years). The code page also asks for proof of shares in a company abroad and turnover shown in accounts audited by an international accounting firm.
E28C is for individual investors who do not set up a company: Indonesian government bonds, shares in Indonesian listed companies or mutual funds of at least US$350,000 (five years) or US$700,000 (ten years). For ten years, a flat or apartment worth at least US$1,000,000 is another option. Permenkumham 11/2024 frames this as a commitment to be met within 90 days of the ITAS being issued, while the E28C code page refers to proof of ownership. This guide follows the regulation; have proof of purchase ready within that deadline.
For foreign companies opening a branch or subsidiary, E28D (directors or commissioners) and E28G (parent-company representatives) require a company investment commitment of at least US$25,000,000 (five years) or US$50,000,000 (ten years); E28F, for the new capital Nusantara (IKN), requires at least US$5,000,000 or US$10,000,000. None of these needs a sponsor, and the fees are Rp13,000,000 or Rp19,500,000. E28A (shareholding of at least Rp10,000,000,000, one or two years) is not a Golden Visa and needs a sponsor.
Things to check carefully
- Claims of a cheap Golden Visa often mix up the application fee and investment capital.
- Recheck the code when applying because visa categories can change.
- Missing the 90-day deadline to meet an investment or deposit commitment, or withdrawing an E33 or E33E deposit before the permit ends. The guarantee must be kept at that value while the stay permit is valid.
- Using E33G to work for an employer in Indonesia or to sell services in Indonesia. E33G covers only work for a company outside Indonesia.
Frequently asked questions
Is E33G the same as E28C?
No. E33G is a remote-worker category; E28C concerns capital-market investment.
How much does the Indonesia Golden Visa cost?
The government fee is Rp13,000,000 for five years or Rp19,500,000 for ten, covering the visa, verification, ITAS and re-entry permit. This is separate from the investment or deposit, such as US$350,000 for a five-year E28C or US$130,000 for E33. According to the E33 code page, fees already paid are not refunded if the application is refused.
What income do I need for the Indonesia digital nomad visa (E33G)?
At least US$60,000 a year in salary or income, shown by bank records, plus an employment contract with a company outside Indonesia. You also need bank statements for the last three months showing at least US$2,000. The E33G fee is Rp7,000,000 for one year.
Can E33G holders work for an Indonesian company?
No. E33G is for carrying out work for a company outside Indonesia, and its code page prohibits work that does not match the permit and selling goods or services unless your job requires it. To work for an employer in Indonesia, use a work visa such as E23, with a sponsor and a work permit.
Can I buy an apartment to get a Golden Visa?
Yes, on two routes: a ten-year E28C with a flat or apartment worth at least US$1,000,000, and the five-year E33 second-home visa with property of the same value. The purchase must be completed and reported within 90 days. For E33, the guarantee must be kept at that value while the stay permit is valid.
Does the Golden Visa need a sponsor?
Not for E28B, E28C, E28D, E28F, E28G, E33 or E33E; their code pages say no sponsor is needed. E33A and E33C need a central-government sponsor, and E28A and E33F, which are not Golden Visas, also need a sponsor.
Do Golden Visa holders pay the Bali tourist levy?
No, once the exemption is approved. Bali Regional Regulation (Perda) 2/2025 exempts Golden Visa holders, but they must apply through Love Bali at least five days before entering Bali; a decision is sent within three days (Bali Governor Regulation 2/2024, Article 7). If you apply less than five days before arrival, you still have to pay the Rp150,000 levy.
