Working Visa KITAS

If you are going to work or obtain income in Indonesia you have to get a work visa that allows foreign citizens to work officially in the country.

You cannot work or make money in Indonesia without a work permit.

Its requirements are quite strict. A work visa is issued for a specific position in a certain company, so it is not possible to obtain a work permit before employment. Also, you are NOT allowed to work in several companies or in different positions at the same time.

Work permission can be issued for different periods, can be extendable or not. It depends on different facts. Usually, you can get a work visa for 6 months (not extendable) or 12 months (possible to extend). This is a multiple entry visa, so you can leave the country and come back as many times as you need during the validity of your visa.
