What is Working KITAS
A Limited Stay Permit (KITAS) is granted to foreign nationals to legally reside and work in Indonesia. This permit is issued once the sponsoring company (PT, PMA, or relevant agency) secures authorization to employ foreign workers from the Ministry of Manpower, along with a recommendation from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) or other competent authority.
The employment KITAS is typically valid for one year and may be extended annually for up to a maximum of five years. Upon reaching this limit, the holder may apply for a Family KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit).
