Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers varied hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other islands, particularly in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, events and tourism services. Bali has the largest international tourism market and a relaxed, multicultural lifestyle, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and urban career opportunities. Local culture values respect, community, religious diversity and polite communication; Bahasa Indonesia is useful in everyday life, although English is common in international hotels. Living costs vary considerably, with Bali and Jakarta generally more expensive than smaller cities. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and an appropriate work permit and KITAS before beginning employment. Employers usually manage much of the application process. Candidates should confirm accommodation, transport, medical cover, service charge and relocation support before accepting an offer.
