Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other resort islands, particularly in hotels, restaurants, villas, cruises, and tourism services. Bali is the most international destination, with a relaxed lifestyle, strong expatriate community, beaches, temples, and a busy tourism economy. Java offers larger cities and broader career options, while Lombok and smaller islands provide a quieter environment and growing resort employment. Indonesian culture values hospitality, respect for elders, community, and religious traditions; customs vary between islands. Living costs range from moderate to high in popular tourist areas, and traffic can be significant. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and KITAS or another approved limited-stay authorization. A tourist visa does not permit employment. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, insurance, flights, taxes, and visa sponsorship directly with Shangri-La before relocating.
