Tax residency in Indonesia is subject to several conditions and requirements, which foreigners need to fulfil in order to become tax residents in the country. These conditions are as follow:

Nonetheless, if an Indonesian national leaves the country temporarily, he might also be considered as non-resident, if he/she fulfils certain requirements, such as: Being present in Indonesia for less than 183 days in a fiscal year.
In such case, taxes will only apply on income obtained from Indonesian sources, while the rest of his income will only be taxed in his country of residency or source of income.
