Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across major islands, including Bali, Java, Sumatra, Lombok, Sulawesi and the Indonesian islands of eastern Indonesia. Bali has the largest international tourism market, while Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Medan provide strong hotel, restaurant and business-travel employment. Medan, on Sumatra, has a lively food culture, lower living costs than Bali and access to Lake Toba and other natural attractions. Indonesian culture values respect, community, modesty and courteous communication; learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful. Lifestyle choices range from busy city living to relaxed coastal communities, although traffic, humidity and regional infrastructure vary. Foreign workers generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate stay visa, commonly arranged through the company. Before relocating, confirm salary, accommodation, meals, insurance, flights, tax responsibilities and contract terms, and use only authorized immigration and recruitment channels.
