Understanding the Work Permit Indonesia

To be employed lawfully in Indonesia, you must obtain a work permit and fulfill work permit Indonesia requirements. The application process is complex and may require assistance from an immigration service consultant who is well-versed in Indonesian visa procedures. A work permit is the sole legal document that permits non-Indonesian citizens to obtain income there.

Indonesia Work Permit: RPTKA Approval and KITAS

Foreign workers in Indonesia need a work permit called RPTKA Approval. This approval leads to a limited-stay visa, the basis for obtaining a KITAS permit. KITAS allows foreign workers to stay in Indonesia for a period ranging from one to 12 months, depending on their work visa.
