Digital Nomad Visa vs B211A: Which Is Right for You?
Indonesia introduced the Digital Nomad Visa (officially the E33G visa) in 2024, specifically designed for remote workers earning income from foreign employers or clients. This visa allows you to stay in Indonesia for up to 5 years with annual renewals, and critically, it exempts you from Indonesian income tax on foreign-sourced earnings — a significant advantage over the B211A social visa.
The B211A remains the more accessible option for most nomads, offering 6 months of stay (extendable to 12 months) with simpler documentation requirements. It’s ideal if you’re testing Bali as a base before committing long-term. The Digital Nomad Visa is better for those planning to stay 1+ years and earning above the minimum income threshold ($60,000/year). During your consultation, our visa specialists will analyze your situation and recommend the optimal visa pathway.
Both visa types are included in the Digital Nomad Package at no extra cost. We handle all paperwork, appointment scheduling, and immigration office visits for either option. If you start with a B211A and later want to upgrade to the Digital Nomad Visa, we offer a discounted conversion service for package clients.
