Working in Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelago with varied opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, retail and supporting business services. Bali offers the broadest international hospitality market and a relaxed, expatriate-friendly lifestyle, while Java, including Jakarta, provides stronger corporate opportunities and busy urban living. Lombok and other resort islands offer a quieter pace but fewer year-round jobs. Indonesian culture places importance on courtesy, community, religious observance and respectful dress, with local customs varying by region. Living costs depend heavily on location; major tourist areas can be expensive, while local neighbourhoods are more affordable. Foreign workers generally need employer sponsorship, an approved work permit and the appropriate limited-stay visa before starting employment. Candidates should confirm relocation benefits, accommodation, tax arrangements and permit responsibility with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
