Bali Immigration Office clarifies rules for tourist, content creation, social, and remote worker visas

The Bali Immigration Office has provided updated information regarding visa regulations for tourists and foreigners, aiming to clarify the do's and don'ts for various visa categories. This effort follows a focus by Indonesian Immigration on addressing visa violations, particularly concerning unpaid work by content creators, influencers, freelance service providers, and those involved in skills exchanges, as well as issues with pre-investment, investment, and remote worker visas. The information, which is not new but is being widely disseminated, covers the C5A Content Creation Visa, C6 Social Activities Visitor Visa, and E33G Remote Worker Special Residency Visa. For general tourism, the standard Tourist Visa on Arrival B1/eVOA allows a 30-day stay, extendable once, while the C1 tourist visa permits a 60-day stay. The D1 Tourist Visa is for frequent travelers for family and leisure, with validity options of 1, 2, or 5 years. The C5A visa is for influencers and content creators, allowing content creation and tourism activities but prohibiting sales, salaries from Indonesian entities, or journalism-related content. The C6 visa is for social, humanitarian, and volunteer activities, with similar restrictions on commercial work. The E33G visa is for remote workers employed by overseas companies, allowing them to work in Indonesia and bring family, but prohibiting sales or activities outside their authorized description.
