Indonesia Immigration, Visa & Work Permit Services

Visa Types
Visas & Permits Available in Indonesia
Indonesia's work permit and residence system moves through a few key stages, each with its own requirements.
Work Permit (IMTA)
Foreign employees are required to have a work permit known as an Ijin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing (IMTA), which the employer must apply for on behalf of the employee. This permit allows the foreign worker to legally undertake employment in Indonesia.
Izin Tinggal Terbatas (ITAS)
A temporary stay permit that allows the holder to reside in Indonesia for up to one year, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to four years. The ITAS itself doesn't grant employment rights unless paired with an IMTA.
Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap (KITAP)
A permanent stay permit available to those who have previously held an ITAS for a continuous period of three years. The KITAP allows for a longer stay and is valid for five years, significantly simplifying long-term residence and employment in Indonesia.
Before You Apply
Immigration Considerations for Indonesia
Navigating the complexities of Indonesian immigration can be challenging, and there are several factors to consider when applying for visas and work permits:
Is your company registered with the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)?
Is your employee already in Indonesia, or will they be relocating?
Does your employee have a valid work permit and visa from a previous job in Indonesia?
Does your employee have any other type of visa in Indonesia, such as an educational visa, spouse visa or retirement visa?
What is the nationality of your employee?
