🇮🇩Indonesia · Bali

Bali is the island that turned remote work into a lifestyle brand, and beneath the Instagram gloss it still delivers: warm surf, cheap villas with pools, an enormous nomad community and a new visa built for remote earners. You'll juggle scooter traffic, patchier internet than Thailand, and occasional bureaucracy, but few places match its blend of tropical comfort, wellness culture and creative energy.

Your entry & visa for Indonesia · Bali

A United States passport gets 30 days visa-free, then the E33G Remote Worker KITAS for the long haul. Pick your passport above to see your own access.

The E33G Remote Worker KITAS

The E33G Remote Worker KITAS grants one year of stay for people employed by foreign companies, with foreign-sourced income exempt from Indonesian tax. It typically requires proof of around $60,000 annual income (roughly $5,000 a month) plus an employment contract. Many nomads still use the 60-day B211A visit visa or visa-on-arrival extensions for shorter stints.
