Visa Services & Immigration Consulting
The Working Visa / Working KITAS is intended for foreigners that are employed to work in Indonesia for more than a few months. It is the most comprehensive working permit you can get and allows the user to actively earn income, open bank accounts, pay taxes, get a mobile phone etc.
To obtain a working permit you need to work for a company that is registered within Indonesia. This entity can be either a Foreign Owned Company (PMA), a Representative Office or an Indonesian Owned Company.
The length of your working visa can vary between 6 & 12 months depending on your job title; the validity being approved by Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower. In general, Directors, Commissioners & Senior Managers can obtain a 12-month extendable permit, whereas advisors can only get a 6-month, non-extendable visa.
If you need to know more about different types of legal entities or you do not have a company set up within Indonesia yet, please check out our Company Establishment Page.
Yes, you can. You can apply for you working permit before you enter the country and we can send you your E-Visa via email before you arrive in Indonesia! For your permit to be official you will need to visit the Immigration Office in Indonesia for your biometric session.
A 12-month KITAS is only guaranteed for Directors and Commissioners. For roles in Management this is also possible however, it is at the discrepancy of Immigration. LetsMoveIndonesia can give you guidance on this matter.
For non-management roles, (barring a few exceptions) you many only obtain a 6-month, non-extendable KITAS.
Up until October 2020, it was mandatory for all visas to be collected from an Indonesian Embassy overseas, however, now the Indonesian’s Immigration Authorities can offer Electronic Visas (E-Visas).

The DPKK Fund is a payment made to the Ministry of Manpower in Indonesia – The fee is to support training of the domestic workforce and is not negotiable. The price is $100 USD per month. The total amount is dependent on the length of your KITAS – 12 months for example is $1200 USD.
Unfortunately, you cannot continue your current KITAS. You will need to obtain an EPO (Exit Permit Only) which will terminate your current working visa and you will then need to start your new visa with your new company.
You may only work in the location or job specification stated on your KITAS.
To terminate your KITAS you must apply for an EPO (Exit Permit Only), whereby your work permit will be terminated. The EPO is very quick and generally takes a few days. Once your EPO stamp is issued, you will need to leave the country within 7 days.
If you have already left Indonesia, you will need to apply for a ERP (Exit Re-entry Permit).

If you overstay your visa you may be subjected to daily fines, blacklisting from the country and even deportation. We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your visa up to date.
In 2019 the penalty for overstaying rose from 300,000 to 1,000,000 IDR per day.
