Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other resort islands, including careers in hotels, restaurants, pastry kitchens, wellness, events, and tourism. Bali is the most internationally oriented destination, with a relaxed lifestyle, strong expatriate community, beaches, ceremonies, and a busy seasonal tourism economy. Java, including Jakarta and Surabaya, generally provides more urban living and year-round business demand. Local culture values community, respect, religious diversity, and polite communication; modest dress is advisable outside resort areas. Living costs vary considerably, with Bali tourist areas usually more expensive than many parts of Java. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate Indonesian stay visa before working; tourists cannot legally take employment. Confirm sponsorship, accommodation, insurance, taxes, and relocation costs directly with Shangri-La. Learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful.
