Approved in Jakarta as remote worker.
Processing time 3 business days.

So they go through your documents in front of you. If everything is fine, you pay and can pick up your passport a few days later.
If they are not fine with your documents, they tell you what is wrong or missing and hand you over the documents to come back another day - in this scenery they doesn't take any money.
Overall very comfortable and smooth process.
BUT TODAY
I've heard that different people applied there and sthey demanded company registration documents, even for freelancers and remote workers. Someone (I don't know if from embassy or person who applied) mentioned they changed this 2 days ago.
So either these are necessary documents for everyone from now on or they just asked for additional documents in these two individual cases, because of reasons.
Good luck 🙏🏽
