Work KITAS Visa (C312) — one-year work visa (with the possibility of extension) is issued to a foreigner for a specific position in a particular company — such a company must invite you to work for them. You are not allowed to work for multiple companies or hold different positions simultaneously. Additionally, many job positions are entirely closed to foreigners.
Sometimes directors of PT PMA also want to hold a working position if they need to engage in management and not just appoint employees (which is initially the only function of a director).
Advantages of the Work KITAS:
• Free movement — allows foreigners to enter and exit Indonesia an unlimited number of times during the visa's validity period.
• The ability to legally work in Indonesia for a specific company and earn income.
• Access to local rates for medical services and insurance.
• Eligibility to apply for Japanese visas in Indonesia.
• Easy opening of bank accounts in any Indonesian bank.
It is important that the hiring company must employ at least 4 Indonesian employees for each foreign applicant.
