    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    If that couple had been working for an indonesian company then the law applies on them. They meet the subjective AND objective requirements. This also applies for any indonesian citizen working both in an indonesian company and as a freelancer in his freetime for a company based outside...

    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    Update: My gf asked the tax office if I would have to pay the tax in case I spend more 183 days in Indonesia as a tourist (with income from outside the country). This was their reply (translated from bahasa): "Every taxpayer who has met the subjective and objective requirements in accordance...

    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    After searching a bit more, I'll have to keep paying for the tax in my country but also have to pay for an additional tax in Indonesia. This happens in case I don't change my country's residency permanentely. Then I guess I would have that double taxation relief as my country is on the list...

    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    @Jamu, That information is very important for me, thank you so much. In other words, there's a limit of days anyone can stay in Indonesia as a tourist. I didn't know that until know.

    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    Working remotely on a Spouse Kitas for a foreign company

    @R Cameron, thank you for your reply. That is correct. My purpose to stay in Indonesia is not to work. It's tourism and spend time with my gf. I could be doing the same thing somewhere else. That is also my conclusion. I'm planning on staying in Indonesia for 6 months, spend some time in...

    Hi. This is my first post here and I want to share my story. Back in 2017 I had my first working experience working as an intern in Thailand and met my indonesian gf while traveling to Jakarta. We have met countless times, I spent some time in Indonesia after my internship was over and she...
