Remote Worker Visa (E33F) is a specialised visa introduced by immigration in 2023 to facilitate foreign professionals working remotely from Indonesia. The visa is a testament to the government’s commitment to attracting skilled individuals and fostering a conducive environment for remote work.

Remote Workers Visa (E33F) allows you to work remotely in the country for a period of one year. We haven’t found any additional information about an extension for the visa, but given the vast number of people interested in it, it is likely that it is extendable for the same length of time as its initial validity period.
