General Questions
Can I start the Visa process before I enter Indonesia?
Yes you can. You can request a work permit before you enter the country and we can email you your E-Visa before you arrive in Indonesia! For your permit to be official, you must visit the Immigration Office in Indonesia for your biometrics session.
What work do I need to do to get a 12-month Work KITAS?
A 12-month Work KITAS is only guaranteed for Directors and Commissioners. For roles in Management, this is also possible, however it is at the discretion of Immigration. Indobizcorner can provide guidance on that.For non-management roles, (barring a few interesting ones) you mostly only get a 6-month KITAS which cannot be extended.
During the process, do I need to visit the Indonesian Embassy to collect my work permit? How long will it take?
Until October 2020, all visas must be collected from Indonesian Embassies abroad, but now Indonesian immigration authorities can offer Electronic Visas (E-Visas).
Can I do more than one job with a Work KITAS?
You can only work in the location or job specification stated on your KITAS.
