Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers varied opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts, tourism, and food and beverage, particularly in Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other major destinations. Bali is popular with international workers because of its tourism industry, beaches, community life, and broad range of dining and hospitality jobs, although rent and traffic can be high in busy areas. Jakarta and other large cities provide more corporate and luxury-hotel opportunities. Indonesian culture values hospitality, family, modesty, and respectful communication; learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is very useful. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities, with tropical weather throughout much of the country. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship, a valid work permit and appropriate stay visa before working. Confirm current immigration rules, accommodation, insurance, taxes, and contract benefits with Shangri-La before relocating.
