Digital Nomad Visa (B211A)

Indonesia's Digital Nomad Visa (B211A) is a residence permit designed for remote workers and digital nomads, allowing holders to legally reside in Indonesia while working remotely. The visa is typically valid for one year and can be renewed. Applicants must prove they are employed by a company outside Indonesia or are self-employed, with income sourced from outside the country. Visa holders are not permitted to work for local Indonesian employers. This policy aims to attract global digital talent and boost Indonesia's tourism and digital economy. The application process is relatively streamlined but requires meeting specific financial and employment documentation requirements.
