What is the process for applying for a Working KITAS?
According to Presidential Regulation No. 20 of 2018 on the Utilization of Foreign Workers, new updates have streamlined the KITAS process, including the requirements for obtaining work permits and visas for foreign workers. This regulation replaces the former Presidential Regulation No. 72 of 2014, simplifying procedures and reducing processing times. The application process for a Working KITAS in Bali requires four key steps, beginning about six weeks before the foreign worker’s arrival. Importantly, work is not allowed during the KITAS application process until final approval.
1. RPTKA Approval (Employment Plan)
Your sponsoring company first secures an RPTKA (Employment Plan Approval) through the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower. Sometimes, the applicant may be required to participate in a brief Skype interview with a Manpower officer to verify the intended work role and duration. The interview takes five minutes, but the company representative should be fully prepared to avoid delays.
2. IMTA Notification and Payment
After RPTKA approval, the Manpower office issues a billing code for the work permit tax. Once paid (within 7–14 days), your work permit (IMTA) is granted.
3. ELECTRONIC Working VISA
An eVisa, issued by the Directorate General, authorizes an Indonesian Embassy to issue a visa (Temporary Stay Visa). This step applies to both the primary applicant and eligible dependents, who must wait for the parent’s e-visa approval before applying for theirs. Note;
The Indonesian government issued the e-visa; therefore, you do not need to visit the Indonesian Embassy once your e-visa is issued.
4. KITAS Issuance on Arrival
Upon entering Indonesia, immigration officers will photograph and fingerprint you, issuing a KITAS with a re-entry permit. Once you enter Indonesia, The immigration system will send your E-Kitas by email; you are NOT required to visit immigration for the biometric session anymore.
Understanding the IMTA Notification and ELECTRONIC Visa Application Process
Once the RPTKA (Employment Plan) is approved, the Manpower office will issue a payment notice for the Work Permit tax, referred to as the IMTA (Izin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing).
Payment Process:
- Billing Code: You will receive a billing code corresponding to the work permit tax.
- Bank Payment: To ensure a smooth transaction, paying this fee directly at the bank is highly recommended.
- Processing Time: After the payment, the work permit will typically be issued within 2-3 working days, provided the payment has been processed and the RPTKA has been released.
Electronic Working Visa Application
The next step in the visa process involves applying for a Visa, which allows Indonesian embassies abroad to issue the expatriate a VITAS (Temporary Stay Visa). Here are the key details:
Application Details:
- Dependents: If the expatriate has a spouse or children, they can apply for an e-visa for their dependents. However, this application can only be initiated after the expatriate’s e-visa is approved.
- Submission: The e-visa application must be submitted to Jakarta’s Directorate General’s office.
After Issuance:
- Once the e-visa is issued, expatriates and their family members can enter Indonesia to activate their visas at the Indonesian entry point International Airport. They no longer need to go to the Indonesian Embassy to collect the visa.
