Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, Bintan, and other resort destinations. Bali is the most established tourism hub, with strong demand in hotels, restaurants, villas, wellness, and events; Lombok and the eastern islands offer a quieter resort lifestyle and growing tourism markets. Indonesian culture values respect, community, hospitality, and religious diversity. Daily life may include tropical weather, traffic in busy areas, affordable local food, and a mix of modern and traditional communities. Foreign candidates generally need employer sponsorship and the correct work authorization before starting employment; tourist visas do not permit legal work. Employers may assist with permits, accommodation, meals, transport, and relocation, but this should be confirmed in writing. Candidates should verify the exact island, salary, benefits, contract terms, visa responsibility, and working hours directly with Shangri-La before relocating.
