Two passports
Usually not: new citizens are asked to give up their other citizenship.

  • A one-year stay permit for remote work that is not on the list of permits that can switch to permanent residence.
The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
183 or more days a year triggers Indonesian tax residency; staying under that threshold is part of why this visa appeals to remote workers.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
