Step-by-step algorithm for obtaining a work permit
Step 1. Apply RPTKA.
This is called an expatriate accommodation plan or RPTKA (Rencana Penempatan Tenaga Kerja Asing). This means that the employer must give the reason why they are hiring you, not an Indonesian citizen. Your employer must obtain RPTKA from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower.
Step 2. A notification letter/confirmation of the validity of the work permit.
After issuing the RPTKA, the foreign employee must submit a confirmation of the work permit (request for an invoice code). The confirmation letter will be issued by the Ministry of Labour within 3-7 working days from the date of the request.
Step 3. Pay DPKK
Payment of DPKK (Fund of Skills and Development) for IMTA (Ijin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing, which can be translated as «Permission to hire foreign workers»). After issuing the Confirmation Letter mentioned above, the DPKK fee must be paid within 3 days. This is a monthly fee of $100 ($1,200 per year) that your employer must pay as compensation for the decision to hire a non-Indonesian. IMTA is the only body that allows you to work legally in Indonesia.
Step 4. Application for an Indonesian work visa
You must apply for an Indonesian work visa (aka VITAS) at the Indonesian Embassy/Consulate next to you. This will require a copy of RPTKA and IMTA. Once you arrive in Indonesia with a VITAS (temporary visa), the Immigration Department will issue you ITAS (temporary residence permit). ITAS is a permit that allows you to live and work in Indonesia for up to 1 year (it can be extended). Meanwhile, VITAS is a visa that allows you to enter Indonesia only once. After the Immigration Department issues your ITAS (Temporary Stay Permit), you must go to the Immigration Office and separately apply for KITAS (Actual Card).
Step 5. Get the STM paper
Get a letter with the police report (STM) at the local police station.
Step 6. Get SKPPS
Register with the Population Department of your local municipality to obtain a Temporary Resident Registration Certificate (SKPPS).
Done!
If you have all these documents, you got an Indonesian work visa and can legally work in Indonesia.
