Income threshold and costs
Tax treatment while on the visa
A digital nomad visa does not by itself change your tax residency. Your tax residency is determined by days present and other ties under Indonesia's rules. Use the tax residency calculator to check where you cross the threshold.
Duration, renewal, and presence
Permanent establishment risk: LOW - Indonesia does not aggressively pursue PE issues for remote workers of foreign companies working from Bali.. Running an active business with local clients or employees from Indonesia can create a taxable presence even on a nomad visa.
