Indonesia leads East Association in launching 'Digital Traveler Visa' to boost beach tourism in Bali
As global vaccines advance and the outbreak eases somewhat, Indonesia is considering measures and programs to promote its tourism economic recovery, particularly to help advance theBali (island in Indonesia)of beach tourism to attract the return of higher-spending international tourists. As part of its efforts to boost the tourism economy, up to five-year tourist work visas for digital nomads, which the Indonesian government will offer, are expected to be introduced soon. Since last year, Bali has been gradually reopening to international tourists, with the Indonesian government removing most travel restrictions and implementing a quarantine-free probationary period and Visa on Arrival (VOA) program for 72 countries/territories, including India, on March 7, 2022, and an entry requirement for RT-PCRs that was lifted on May 18th. As more and more companies around the world allow their employees to work remotely, and as more and more digital workers have the option to "work from anywhere," the Indonesian government sees a great opportunity for a "digital nomad" economy.

Expectations of the Government of Indonesia
Tax risks digital nomads may face
Even though Indonesia offers a "zero tax" policy, different countries have different tax regimes, and if you are the subject of a global tax of your original nationality and do not submit your annual tax return overseas in a timely manner when you are living abroad, the taxpayer may be penalized by the tax authorities of your original nationality and may even face criminal charges, and the numbers of those who work remotely may face stricter government scrutiny. The nomadic community will likely face stricter government oversight. For example, China's State Council's global taxation of Chinese citizens, to be implemented in January 2021, requires relevant overseas tax jurisdictions to provide information on Chinese tax residents.
