An Indonesian work permit called KITAS permits foreign nationals to live and work legally in the country for up to one year, and you might also come across the terms work visa and limited stay permit used interchangeably.
Securing sponsorship from an Indonesian-based company or organization is necessary if you wish to obtain a functioning KITAS, such as :
An Indonesian-owned company (PT PMDN),
A foreign-owned company (PT PMA),
A representative office, or
A foundation.
Your KITAS will be provided according to the specified duration in your work contract
Erroneously believing in the similarity of KITAS and work visa appears to be widespread, but that statement is untrue.It is possible to hold a KITAS while being prohibited from working legally (for example as with Retirement or Dependent cases), however foreigners are required to have a valid IMTA permit prior to starting any work activity within Indonesia.
The full process of obtaining an Offshore Work KITAS index 312 takes about 1.5-2 months.
E-Visa is an approval letter to enter Indonesia. Kitas is a temporary stay permit that you will get after the process of reporting E-Visa to immigration after your arrival to Indonesia.
Required documents for working permit divided by 2, one from the sponsoring company and the one from the applicant itself.
