Abstract
The Digital Nomad Visa in Indonesia emerged along with the development of information and communication technology. The term digital nomad comes from remote workers who mostly work in the digital sector, where remote workers can do their work from anywhere without being bound by space, as long as a digital network is available. These remote workers, who call themselves digital nomads, will usually live in an area that has tourist attractions. This is driven by their ability to work anywhere, so they can choose a comfortable place to work while promoting the idea of work-life balance. This trend of digital nomad workers is increasingly mushrooming in various regions, including Indonesia, as the COVID-19 pandemic hits the world. The Indonesian government, in this case the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), sees this phenomenon as an opportunity for the development of Indonesian tourism by promoting digital nomad tourism. This research aims to examine the role of the Digital Nomad Visa policy as an instrument for developing Indonesian tourism diplomacy. This research is qualitative. The data that has been collected and selected will then be processed in the data processing stage. The data that is most relevant and able to support research will be processed for analysis so that the most appropriate research results are obtained. These data were analyzed by interpretation using a theoretical basis based on a conceptual basis. The analysis of the data obtained is then presented in accordance with the objectives and problem formulation that have been determined in the research.
