Securing an Indonesian visa can be tricky, especially if you're an independent contractor. The standard requirements include a valid passport, photo, employment contract, proof of a $60,000 annual income, and a $2,000 bank balance. But what if you're a high-earning freelancer like me, making well over six figures annually, but without a traditional employment contract? I've been successfully filing taxes as a sole proprietor in the US, and my tax returns clearly show a substantial income. I'm wondering how strictly Indonesia enforces the employment contract rule, particularly when applicants can demonstrate significantly higher income than required. While there's an alternative visa option requiring a $130,000 deposit in an Indonesian account, I prefer to keep my funds readily accessible in my high-yield savings account in the US. Is there a way to navigate this employment contract hurdle without incorporating? Many independent contractors are facing similar challenges, and this is a hot topic in online expat forums. Sharing experiences and potential solutions could help others avoid the costly and time-consuming process of forming a corporation just for visa purposes. Let's explore the possibilities together!
