If you plan to work or earn an income in Indonesia, you’ll need a Work KITAS, a limited stay permit that allows foreigners to work legally in the country.

There are two ways to obtain a Work KITAS:

1. Employer-Sponsored Work KITAS – Your employer must apply for a work permit (IMTA) from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower. Your KITAS will be tied to your sponsoring company and specific job role, meaning you cannot work for another employer or in a different position.

   Please note it is a very small foreign job market in Bali and extremely difficult to find work in Bali.

2. Work KITAS via Your Own PT PMA – If you establish a foreign-owned company (PT PMA), you can apply for a Work KITAS under your own business. This option provides greater flexibility but requires meeting specific business setup and investment requirements. Click here to understand more about opening your own business.

Both options involve strict regulations, and processing times can vary. If you need expert assistance in securing the right work permit, we can connect you with trusted visa and business consultants to ensure a smooth and compliant process.
