If you wish to stay longer, you contain get a KITAS, it is a limited stay permit or a temporary residency permit that is valid for six months to 5 years. As being the most common type of permit for foreign residents, it requires an Indonesian sponsorship and allows holders to live in Indonesia for up to five years, with subsequent renewal every twelve months.

KITAS Work Visa

KITAS Indonesia work visa is sponsored by an Indonesian company or an organisation registered in Indonesia, including Indonesian-owned company, foreign-owned company, representative office and public or private institution.

Before acquiring a KITAS work visa, you will be required to obtain your working permit/IMTA (Ijin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing) by confirming your job position and location at the sponsoring company in Indonesia.  Your job position decides the length of your allowed KITAS duration.

To reiterate, sponsorship is required before any work visa or work permit can be processed. A sponsoring company should propose an applicant’s job title carefully based on regulations laid out by the Ministry of Manpower.

Sponsors of KITAS work visa are legally responsible for the visa applicants, i.e., to pay charges and fines if the respective applicants do not have the ability to do so. Therefore, it is of critical importance for sponsors to be aware of these responsibilities.
