Can I start the Visa process before I enter Indonesia?

Yes, you can. You can apply for you working permit before you enter the country and pick up your work permit from the Indonesian Embassy in your home country. For your permit to be official you will need to visit the Immigration Office in Jakarta for your biometric session.

What job do I need to obtain a 12-month KITAS?

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. Yinnivisa 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.

During the process, do I need to visit an Indonesian Embassy to collect my work permit? How long does this take? How much is it and do I need to go to Singapore to obtain it?

During the visa process you will need to go to an Indonesian Embassy outside of Indonesia to pick up your work permit. You can do this in your home country or a different one depending on which is more convenient.

Most people go to Singapore to obtain their permit as it is close to Indonesia, the flights are regular, and it is an easy city to navigate.

When visiting the Indonesian Embassy in any country, you can visit the Embassy yourself and process the work permit or hire an agent to do this on your behalf. If you hire an agent, they can do the process usually within one day, however if you do this yourself, it may take significantly longer.

Procedures, agents’ fees and time allowances will vary depending on which country you visit. Since 2019 the regulations have changed and now, rather than paying a processing fee for your Working Visa at the Embassy, there is a fee called PNBP of $150 USD, which is paid in Indonesia before collecting your visa. The benefit of this is that you no longer need to pay a fee when you go to the Indonesian Embassy. If you would like to use an agent to speed up the process, prices will vary depending on local agent.

If you need an agent in Singapore, we can recommend one for you – the price is only $90 Sg.

What is the DPKK Fund and how much is it?

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.

I already have a KITAS, can I change jobs and keep my KITAS?

Unfortunately, you cannot continue your current KITAS. You will need to obtain an EPO (Exit Permit Only) which will terminate your current visa and you will then need to start your new visa with your new company.

Can I do more than one job on my KITAS?

You may only work in the location or job specification stated on your KITAS.

If I do not wish to extend my KITAS, what should I do?

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).

What happens if I overstay my Visa?

If you overstay your visa you may be subjected to daily fines, blacklisting from the country and even deportation. In 2019 the penalty for overstaying rose from 300,000 to 1,000,000 IDR per day.
