Destination Guide

Medan is on Sumatra, Indonesia’s largest island, and is a major commercial gateway to destinations such as Lake Toba, Berastagi, and Bukit Lawang. Hospitality, food and beverage, tourism, retail, logistics, and service businesses provide employment opportunities, although Indonesian language skills are valuable and wages are generally lower than in Bali or Jakarta. Local culture is diverse, with Malay, Batak, Javanese, Chinese-Indonesian, and other communities living together. Life in Medan is busy, affordable, and strongly centered on family, religion, markets, and excellent local cuisine. Housing and daily transport are usually cheaper than in Bali. Foreign workers need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate Indonesian visa, generally arranged through the company; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Arrange accommodation, health insurance, document translation, and proof of qualifications before relocating.
