Can I apply for a DTV visa online while in Indonesia, or do I need to visit Jakarta?

Hi group! I'm getting prepared to apply for a DTV and have a few questions.

I'd like to apply through the Jakarta office as I'll be in Indonesia soon, but on Sulawesi, not in Jakarta. Do I physically need to go to the Jakarta office, or can I apply fully online from another region of Indonesia?

I'm thinking of applying for the workcation as I'm under contract with an online teaching company, but I'll only have one or two months of pay to show. Those who have gone through Jakarta - how many months of income did you need to show? (I'm coming off of a non-b visa, so it's a transition time which is why I'll only have a couple months of recent online pay. I've also plenty of savings to show, so that aspect isn't an issue).

My other option is doing a soft power. I saw that "seminars" was an option. Has anyone done this one? What does it entail?

Thank you everyone! 🙏

You can apply from anywhere in Indonesia. If needed for an interview you go to Jakarta.
