Indonesia’s immigration authorities, together with tax and other agencies, are reviewing work-visa and tax rules for foreign remote workers. The review addresses how to regulate people who are physically in Indonesia while working for overseas employers.
According to sources, Indonesia is working toward a clearer framework for digital nomads covering visas, taxation and compliance with stay-permit conditions. In the longer term, this could affect the documents and tax treatment required for remote work from Indonesia, but the current development is an inter-agency review rather than a new rule already in force. Digital nomads and other remote workers planning a long stay should monitor the issue closely. It is less relevant to short-term tourists, but worth reading for anyone whose relocation depends on remote work.
