This visa exempts your foreign income — no local tax or contributions.
Private health insurance isn't required for this visa, but most nomads carry it — it's already counted in your living costs above.
The E33G is marketed as exempting foreign-earned income, but staying 183+ days makes you an Indonesian tax resident — full exemption beyond that can need a separate expertise-based application (PMK-18/PMK.03/2021), so treat 0% as best-case. DGT regulation PER-23/PJ/2025 (effective 9 Dec 2025) adds a substance-over-form 'intent to reside' test alongside the 183-day count, and Article 4(3) explicitly lists an ITAS valid over 183 days — exactly what the E33G issues — as evidence of that intent, which can trigger tax residency before day 183 under Article 3(a)(3). That's the regulation's own text, not just adviser interpretation; how aggressively DJP enforces it against ordinary E33G holders is untested.

IDR 7,000,000 for a 1-year stay (~$430) per the official imigrasi.go.id E33G page, which also itemises a limited-stay visa (IDR 500,000), Category II verification (IDR 2,000,000), ITAS up to 1 year (IDR 3,000,000) and a re-entry permit (IDR 1,500,000). Which items stack depends on how you apply, so total government fees can run higher than the headline. Bali's long-awaited one-year remote-worker KITAS. The official immigration-ministry page confirms the ITAS is extendable online via evisa.imigrasi.go.id with no sponsor required — but it does not publish a maximum number of extensions or total-years cap; third-party agencies citing a hard 24-month or 6-year limit aren't backed by the government page. No in-person embassy/consulate application path exists — it's evisa.imigrasi.go.id only.

Good news
There's effectively no local income tax to worry about on your foreign earnings here.

Path to residency & citizenship
This is a lifestyle visa: great for living here now, but time on it doesn't count toward permanent residency or a passport.
No track via the E33G; Indonesia does not permit dual citizenship.
