Regarding the B211, it is indeed maxed out at six months. However, one can apply for a new one and seamlessly get another six months. This can be done ad infinitum, and often it is. My understanding though, is that this is a single entry visa, so travel outside during the period is problematic. For those who need to travel in and out of Indonesia, a multiple-entry business visa seems to fit the bill. Both can easily be done by agents.As to clarifications, there will most likely never be a definitive public statement from the Indonesian government regarding an interpretation of any law. Having lived here for years and dealt with various aspects of the bureaucracy, it's become clear that there is often a fair amount of 'gray area' in the laws and regulations, and the government seems just fine with that. They enforce as and when it suits them, and don't when it doesn't. That's just the reality of life here, which is not ideal, but it is what it is.[/QUOTE]The introduction of the new VISA index has resulted in a gradual phase-out of the old VISA index. The B211/B211A visa category is currently being transitioned to the C1-C22 designation, specifying various activities for which these visas may be utilized. The designation for remote workers and digital nomads has been assigned to a new index as E33G. This E33G requires a Bank account that proves income in the form of salary or income worth at least US$60,000 per year. Also it will be difficult to claim as self employed as they specifically ask for employment contract with a company established outside the Indonesian Territory.While I haven't confirmed this on the evisa or molina websites, there's a possibility that they may discontinue offering the B211/B211A visas either now or in the future.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Indes vs New Index.jpg"]4053[/ATTACH]
