Work Permit

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.

FAQ

Do I need to pay DPKK funds if I get a Work Permit Only?

Yes, you do. Indonesian workers are required to contribute a mandatory $100 monthly DPKK fund for the duration of their work permit.

Depending on your contract, it could take up to twelve months.

This is not a visa, but rather authorisation to work and earn. You must still adhere to the terms and conditions of your visa.
