What is the process and requirements for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Indonesia?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Jakarta. I submitted my application on Monday morning, February 24th, and it first showed “pending checking documents.” By Wednesday morning, February 27th, the status changed to “pending approval,” and later that evening, it was approved.

I applied under the Soft Power (Muay Thai) category with Wildcat Muay Thai, and Meaw Boonpradub was super helpful in getting all the necessary documents together quickly (definitely recommend).

Documents I Submitted:

• Financial Proof – A 6-month bank statement from a foreign bank in USD. I had the required amount sitting in my account for the past six months, but I’ve heard that this isn’t always mandatory. Along with that, I also included:

• A screenshot of my account balance from my banking app.

• A screenshot of the exchange rate for that day.

• All three were combined into a single PDF file.

• Muay Thai Documents – Provided by Wildcat Muay Thai.

• Proof of Location – A picture of the Indonesian Visa Stamp in my passport.

• Scanned Passport

• Visa Photo

For accommodation in Thailand, I just listed where I was staying, but they didn’t ask for any proof.

Thanks everyone for all the information regarding the process!

P.S. If you’re planning to apply in Jakarta, you don’t actually have to be there—you just need to be somewhere in Indonesia. I didn’t realize this beforehand, and let’s just say Jakarta is not for beginners !
