Work Permit Only – Who is it for and what are the benefits

If you already possess a KITAS/KITAP and have a job offer in Indonesia, the Work Permit Only option presents a flexible alternative to a traditional Working KITAS/KITAP.

This permit specifically authorizes employment and can be obtained in conjunction with various existing visas, such as a Spouse KITAS. This allows you to maintain your current sponsorship while pursuing employment opportunities.

Steps to get your Work Permit Only

1. Application of RPTKA
2. Notification to pay DPKK
3. Completion of Work Permit (IMTA)

Common questions

How long is a Work Permit Only?

It can be up to 12 months, depending on employment contract.

Can I enter and leave Indonesia using this?
