No — Indonesia does not tax foreign-sourced income for holders of the Second Home Visa. Only income earned within Indonesia (from Indonesian clients or employers) would be subject to Indonesian tax, which most nomads have none of. This 0% effective tax rate on foreign income, combined with Bali's extremely low cost of living ($1,100/month average), makes Indonesia one of the highest net-savings destinations in this index.

The Second Home Visa requires proof of $130,000 USD equivalent in liquid assets (bank deposits) OR ownership of property in Indonesia worth the same amount. This is a high liquid asset bar compared to other countries' monthly income requirements. The $2,000/month income shown in this index reflects the practical cost of living, not a formal visa income threshold.

5 years, with renewal possible for another 5 years. This is one of the longest initial visa durations available to nomads outside of Thailand's LTR. There is no path to permanent residency or citizenship through this visa category.

In established nomad zones — Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, and Sanur — fiber internet is widely available with speeds of 50–200 Mbps in co-working spaces and most villas. The main reliability issue is power outages during rainy season (November–March), which can interrupt connectivity. Most serious nomads use a local SIM with a Telkomsel or XL data plan as backup. Outside Bali's main hubs and on outer islands, connectivity degrades significantly.

As of 2026, Indonesian citizens generally require a visa for South Korea for standard tourism. South Korea announced a conditional pilot group visa-free program for Indonesian tourists in certain conditions, but it has not been broadly extended to individual travelers. Individual Indonesian tourists must still apply for a C-3 tourism visa through the Korean consulate or the K-ETA electronic travel authorization, where eligible.
