Visa on Arrival and e-VoA (index B1): US passport holders are on the visa on arrival country list published by the Directorate General of Immigration. The same visa is sold online in advance as the e-VoA through the official e-visa portal, or at the visa counter on arrival. It covers tourism, family visits, transit, and business meetings, but not work. Every arrival must also submit the free All Indonesia arrival card online within 3 days before arrival. Foreign tourists entering Bali pay a separate provincial levy of IDR 150,000, which is not an immigration fee. Overstaying is fined IDR 1,000,000 per day. A proposal to raise the fee to IDR 750,000 (e-VoA) and IDR 1,000,000 (on arrival) was presented by the Director General of Immigration in August 2026 but had no confirmed effective date when this page was verified.

Living in Indonesia long term
Indonesia gives US passport holders a 30 day visa on arrival that extends once to 60 days, and a 60 day visit visa (C1) that stretches to 180 days, but real long stays run through residence permits: the E33G remote worker KITAS at USD 60,000 a year of foreign income, the second home visa against IDR 2 billion of funds, the retirement KITAS from age 55, and the golden visa at USD 350,000 and up. Every stay permit past 183 days makes the holder an Indonesian tax resident on worldwide income.

Route notes
Single entry visit visa (C1, formerly B211A): This is the current index for the visit visa long known as B211A. It covers tourism, visiting family or friends, and attending meetings and exhibitions as an attendee. Paid work and any profit making activity in Indonesia are prohibited. It is a single entry visa, so leaving Indonesia ends it. Holders who later want a residence permit can convert this visa to a stay permit through the bridging stay permit process rather than leaving and reapplying.
Remote worker visa (E33G): Launched on April 1, 2024, this is Indonesia's digital nomad route. The holder must work only for an employer or clients outside Indonesia and may not receive wages, rewards, or payment from any person or company in Indonesia. It is a limited stay visa that converts to a KITAS on arrival, is multiple entry, and family members can be brought on dependent permits. The visa must be used within 90 days of issue. There is no tax exemption attached to it.
Second Home Visa (index E33): Launched on October 25, 2022. One application covers the visa, the limited stay permit, and the multiple entry re-entry permit, and the stay permit is issued electronically on entry. No sponsor, employer, or minimum age is required. Holders may not work in an employment relationship in Indonesia. Spouse, children, and parents can hold follower permits for the same period. The passport must be valid for at least 36 months when applying.
Golden Visa, individual investor: The golden visa is a grouping of visa, limited or permanent stay permit, and re-entry permit created by Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation 22 of 2023 and launched by the President on July 25, 2024. Holders use priority immigration lanes and do not need a separate stay permit application on arrival. There are also golden visa categories for world figures and experts invited by or working with the Indonesian government, and for former Indonesian citizens and their descendants. It is not citizenship by investment; Indonesia grants no passport under this program.
Golden Visa, corporate investor: Part of the same golden visa grouping created by Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation 22 of 2023 and launched on July 25, 2024. The visa attaches to the company's investment and covers its directors and commissioners, including representatives of a foreign parent company opening an Indonesian branch or subsidiary. Family members can be included on follower permits.
Retirement KITAS (index E33F): For retirees aged 55 and over who will not work in Indonesia; working for an Indonesian employer or earning money from an Indonesian entity is prohibited. A local sponsor is required, and the conditions include employing Indonesian household help. Holders may bring eligible family and may travel in and out freely on the permit's re-entry facility. At launch of the second home visa the government said existing retirement visa holders keep their status; the retirement KITAS remains a separate, lower cost route than the second home visa.
Investor KITAS (index E28A): Summary level. The investor KITAS replaced the old index 313 and 314 permits. Unlike the golden visa it is tied to an operating company the applicant directs, and qualifying directors and commissioners are exempt from the foreign worker levy and do not need a separate work permit for their company role. Immigration has tightened verification of investor permits after widespread misuse by foreigners who were in fact working ordinary jobs or running small businesses in Bali.
Work KITAS (index E23): Summary level. The sequence is RPTKA approval by the Ministry of Manpower, the limited stay visa (VITAS) through the e-visa portal, then conversion to a KITAS on arrival. The employer pays a foreign worker compensation levy (DKP-TKA) of USD 100 per month of employment into a government fund; the levy cannot be passed to the worker. Certain positions, such as human resources roles, are closed to foreigners. Dependents apply separately under the family index E31.
Family KITAS (index E31): Summary level. Covers spouses and children of KITAS and KITAP holders, and foreign spouses of Indonesian citizens. A foreign spouse of an Indonesian citizen follows the fastest permanent residence track in the system: after 2 years of marriage they can convert to a KITAP, and spouses holding a KITAP may work in Indonesia. Dependent holders on a worker's or investor's permit do not gain work rights from the family permit itself.
