Work Permit
- Share:
With an existing KITAS/KITAP and a job offer in Indonesia, you can explore obtaining a Work Permit Only as an alternative to a Working KITAS/KITAP.
Unlike a visa, a Work Permit solely authorises employment and can be obtained in conjunction with a pre-existing visa such as a Spouse KITAS. This permit lets you keep your sponsor while also working.
