What’s Changing in 2025?
Indonesia is tightening visa policies to better define between “staycation” and “business activity.” If you’re earning money from within Indonesia, using the wrong visa could result in fines, blacklisting, or deportation. Lombok’s growing economy—especially in tourism, villas, and sustainable businesses—means immigration is paying more attention. Getting the right visa is no longer optional.
