Freelancing in Bali? 🌴 Here’s what locals and expats need to know to stay compliant:
1️⃣ Visas
• Locals: No specific visa needed; just your KTP (ID card) and NPWP (tax number).
• Expats: Require a work visa (KITAS) or a business visa. Tourist visas don’t allow work.
2️⃣ Company Formation
• Locals: No company needed but useful for taxes or big contracts.
• Expats: Often recommended to set up a local company (PT PMA) for long-term projects and easier admin.
3️⃣ Tax Obligations
• Locals: Declare income and pay taxes with an NPWP.
• Expats: Follow Indonesian tax rules and check treaties to avoid double taxation.
4️⃣ Work Permits
• Locals: No separate permit needed, but follow local freelance regulations.
• Expats: Need a work permit linked to your visa; KITAS is common.
5️⃣ Social Security & Insurance
• Locals: Check local social security and health insurance; private options are available.
• Expats: Get international health insurance and understand local options.
