Freelance listings here are project engagements, not disguised jobs. The brief should name a deliverable, a number of revision rounds and an end date — if it names none of those, treat the quoted budget as the start of a negotiation rather than a rate.

Payment convention on the island is a deposit before work begins and the balance on delivery, usually by local bank transfer. For anything longer than a month, split it into milestones tied to what has actually been handed over.

You are responsible for your own tax and, if you are not Indonesian, for holding a permit that allows the work. Freelancing does not sit outside immigration rules just because the engagement is short — clients are not liable for your status and cannot advise on it.
