For Americans, the E33G Remote Worker KITAS (Digital Nomad Visa) works on the same terms as everyone else: a €4,600/month income bar (USD 60,000 per year (about USD 5,000/month) from foreign sources, evidenced by 12 months of bank statements or an employment contract), up to 1 year, renewable. American applicants should plan around worldwide taxation — the FEIE covers roughly $130,000 of earned income a year, but take proper tax advice.

2Apply from the United States
Americans typically file at the Indonesia consulate with jurisdiction over their place of residence (by state). Apply online via the molina e-Visa portal or through an authorized agent (who typically acts as your sponsor) before traveling.
3Prepare for the permit stage
After the consulate issues your visa, complete the local registration and residence-permit steps on arrival — timelines for this stage are in the full Indonesia guide linked below.
4Sort tax before you fly
Tax residency usually follows 183+ days of presence, and your home country may still want a return. Read the tax notes below, then confirm your position with a qualified advisor.

Tax notes

Holding an E33G KITAS can count as 'intent to reside', potentially making you an Indonesian tax resident from day one with worldwide income taxable — though some guides describe foreign income as untaxed during the permit. The position is genuinely unsettled; get Indonesian tax advice before assuming anything.

Tax rules are simplified here and change often. Confirm your position with a qualified tax advisor before making decisions.
