Work & taxes

Short visits and limited-stay residence are different pathways. For a remote-worker status, verify foreign-employer and income requirements.

E33G: remote work for an overseas company. 1 year, extendable

Foreign-company employees, freelancers, local employees and owner-directors are different legal scenarios. Company registration does not automatically authorize personally working for that company.

Tax residence

Residence, over 183 days in 12 months, or presence with an intention to reside.

Rates & limitations

Standard bands 5–35%; the top rate applies to taxable income above IDR5bn. A visa alone does not set the tax rate.

• Passport and immigration-status evidence; local identification number if required.
• Address evidence: lease, registration or utility bill as specified by the chosen bank.
• Tax IDs and tax-residence countries; CRS/FATCA self-certification when requested.
• Regular income evidence: employment contract and recent payslips, or freelance agreements, invoices and statements.
• Origin of savings: statement trail, property sale or inheritance records. For crypto, keep purchase, trade and withdrawal history—not just a wallet balance.

Do not confuse residence with permission to run local activities. Review tax status and bank-account eligibility. This is a preparation pack, not an account-opening guarantee.

Before buying a business, separately verify debt, licenses, staff, lease, accounts and your residence basis. A purchase agreement does not replace immigration approval. When networking, check the legal entity and counterpart's track record before transferring funds.
