Indonesia Digital Nomad Visa for Belize Passport Holders (2026)

Belize passport holders can enter Indonesia via eVisa, which makes the process relatively straightforward. You can obtain your eVisa online before departure, enter Indonesia on that basis, and then convert to the digital nomad visa if the program permits in-country applications. The eVisa is typically faster and cheaper than a full consulate appointment.

The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Belize citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:

• Income: $60,000/year — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
• Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Indonesia entities
• Health insurance: Yes
• Clean background: Police clearance from Belize (apostilled if required by Indonesia)
• Valid passport: Belize passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
• Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Indonesia

Important: Documents not in Indonesia's official language or English must be certified translated. Belize applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Belize.

1. Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Belize passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
2. Authenticate documents. Check whether Indonesia requires apostille stamps on Belize-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
3. Check entry requirements. Verify whether Belize citizens can enter Indonesia visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Indonesia embassy website for current entry requirements for Belize passport holders.
4. Submit your application. Apply through the official Indonesia government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
5. Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Indonesia.

Tax obligations for Belize citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Indonesia if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.

Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Belize citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Belize and Indonesia.

Always consult a tax professional who understands both Belize and Indonesia tax law before committing to an extended stay.

Weak or inconsistent income documentation

Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Indonesia immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.

Missing apostille or translation requirements

Belize applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Belize-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.

Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel

Belize passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Indonesia before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Indonesia embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
