E33G Remote Worker Visa: health insurance requirements
Yes: health insurance is required
Yes, and the wording is strict: Indonesia's E33G Remote Worker Visa, the country's first dedicated nomad route (launched 2024), requires international health insurance valid in Indonesia, and an ordinary travel policy is not accepted. It is for people employed by a company established outside Indonesia, on income of at least US$60,000 a year, with about US$2,000 held in the bank over the prior three months. It is a one-year stay that cannot be extended: to continue you must leave and apply again from abroad.
The requirements at a glance
| Minimum policy duration | Full duration of stay |
|---|---|
| Local-licensed insurer required | No: compliant international IPMI is accepted |
| Accepted proof | International health insurance valid in Indonesia for the stay. The authorities specify international health insurance and do not accept ordinary travel insurance; no minimum coverage amount is published, so choose real medical cover with evacuation rather than the thinnest policy that says 'international'. |
For remote workers employed by a company established outside Indonesia; an employment contract is required. Annual income of at least US$60,000, plus about US$2,000 held in a personal account over the prior three months. The visa is a one-year stay, strictly capped and non-extendable: to stay longer you close it with an Exit Permit Only (EPO), leave, and apply again from abroad. It must be used within 90 days of issue. Bali is the main hub, but the E33G is a national Indonesian visa.
Our take
The wording matters: Indonesia asks for international health insurance and rejects plain travel insurance, so a trip policy will not clear it. There is no published minimum, which is the trap, so pick genuine medical cover with evacuation, not the cheapest thing labelled 'international'.
Villa internet in Bali can be unreliable and a serious medical case can mean evacuation to Singapore, so cover the tail properly, not just the paperwork.
What happens if you get it wrong
Submitting a travel policy instead of international health insurance: it is not accepted for this visa.
Treating the one year as extendable: it is not, you must leave on an Exit Permit Only and re-apply from abroad.
