C5A Creator / Remote Worker Visa

Work remotely from Bali for up to 180 days

A flexible remote-work visa for content creators, freelancers and remote employees who earn their income from outside Indonesia. Stay up to 180 days, with all-in pricing and no hidden fees.

Overview

A simple entry point into remote life in Indonesia

The C5A Creator / Remote Worker Visa lets you live in Bali while working remotely for clients and employers based outside Indonesia. It is designed for content creators, freelancers and remote workers who want a straightforward way to settle in for a longer stay — up to 180 days — without committing to a full KITAS. Crucially, it requires no local sponsor PT and does not permit you to work for an Indonesian employer. For many people it is the ideal first step before moving on to the longer E33G Digital Nomad KITAS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still unsure? Message our concierge — we reply within two working hours.

Who is eligible for the C5A?

Remote workers, content creators and freelancers who earn their income from companies or clients based outside Indonesia. You should be able to show proof of that remote income.

Can I work for a local Indonesian company?

No. The C5A is strictly for remote work paid from outside Indonesia. It does not permit employment with an Indonesian employer. If you need to work for a local company, ask us about the appropriate work KITAS.

How long can I stay?

The C5A allows a stay of up to 180 days. We will confirm single or multiple-entry options based on your travel pattern.

Can I extend or switch to a KITAS?

The C5A works well as an entry point. When you are ready to stay longer term, we can help you move to the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS, which is valid for one year and renewable.
