How much income does the E33G Remote Worker KITAS require?

$5,000 a month, plus $2,000 in savings. A fixed amount set in law or on the official page. The wording on the source is: "60000". Legal basis: Minister of Law & Human Rights Regulation No. 22/2023 as amended by No. 11/2024 (visa index E33G) - text not fetched.

Do you need a guarantor to apply for the E33G Remote Worker KITAS?

No, a guarantor is not required. The E33G page answers this outright: “Anda tidak membutuhkan penjamin/sponsor untuk mengajukan visa ini” — you do not need a guarantor or sponsor to apply for this visa. It matters because the same portal refuses other Indonesian visa types with “This type of visa must be applied by guarantor”, and Work and Holiday is one of them. The three months of bank statements may be in your name or a guarantor’s, which is an option, not a requirement.

What does it cost to apply for the E33G Remote Worker KITAS?

$398. Rp 7,000,000 for the one-year stay, which the page itemises as Rp 500,000 limited-stay visa, Rp 2,000,000 category II verification, Rp 3,000,000 one-year limited-stay permit and Rp 1,500,000 re-entry permit. Set in rupiah, so the dollar figure moves with the rate.

Does this lead to permanent residence?

No pathway. ITAS only, extendable/convertible but no stated KITAP path for this basis.

The Directorate General of Immigration's own visa page (imigrasi.go.id/wna/daftar-visa-indonesia/E33G) describes E33G as a 1-year ITAS, extendable and convertible to 'another stay permit category' (unnamed), with no mention of KITAP (permanent stay permit) eligibility. That KITAP is unreachable via this route is inferred from that official silence plus the general Immigration Law No. 6/2011 principle that KITAP requires a specific basis (marriage, investment, retirement, or years of employer-sponsored work-KITAS) which a self-sponsored foreign-employer remote-worker permit does not satisfy. The implementing regulation text itself (Permenkumham No. 22/2023 as amended by No. 11/2024) could not be directly located/fetched.

What it costs to live there

$233 per person, per month. That is what one resident of Indonesia spends in an average month with housing included — not what a newcomer renting at market rates will spend, which is higher, and furthest above it in the cheapest countries.

City figures are crowdsourced from livingcost.net, not official: one person's monthly spending plus the rent of a one-bedroom flat outside the centre. They are here because a national average cannot show the spread between a capital and the places people actually move to. Checked 2026-09-20.

Cost of living confidence: high · checked 2026-09-20
World Bank national accounts, reference year 2025: households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure (NE.CON.PRVT.CD, current US$) divided by population (SP.POP.TOTL) and by twelve. This is what one resident spends in an average month with housing included, since national accounts count the imputed rent of owner-occupiers. It is an average over the whole population, not a visitor's budget, so a newly arrived remote worker renting at market rates will spend more - see the city figures for what that looks like.

How to apply

Check you clear the requirements above — $5,000 a month is the figure this row records.
Gather what the official page asks for. Expect proof of income, a passport, health insurance and a criminal-record check as the common core.
Apply in this order — the ministry page above describes the permit, these are where it is submitted:
1. Directorate General of Immigration eVisa portal ↗Choose your passport country, then pick Remote Worker as the purpose — not Work and Holiday, which is a separate bilateral scheme and which the portal will refuse with “this type of visa must be applied by guarantor”. Create an account, then upload the documents as PDF or JPEG.
Portals checked 2026-09-12
Checked 2026-09-12 on the portal itself. Recorded because the purpose you pick decides whether you can apply at all: selecting Work and Holiday returns “This type of visa must be applied by guarantor”, which is true of that scheme and not of the E33G this row is about. Somebody who takes the wrong turn there concludes Indonesia is closed to them when it is not. The Directorate General of Immigration’s own E33G page has since been read and answers it outright: no guarantor or sponsor is needed for this visa. See the guarantor row above.
Pay the filing fee. It is $398. Rp 7,000,000 for the one-year stay, which the page itemises as Rp 500,000 limited-stay visa, Rp 2,000,000 category II verification, Rp 3,000,000 one-year limited-stay permit and Rp 1,500,000 re-entry permit.
