Intern Global Mobility Immigration

Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

This internship supports Grab’s Global Mobility and Immigration activities, including employee immigration documentation, work permits, visa applications, relocation coordination, records management, and communication with internal teams and external advisers. Candidates are typically expected to be current students or recent graduates in human resources, business, law, international relations, or a related field. Strong organization, attention to detail, confidentiality, communication skills, and proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace are important. The role may also require research ability, administrative discipline, comfort working across countries and cultures, and the ability to manage several deadlines. Familiarity with immigration processes or regional mobility regulations would be useful, but practical learning ability and a proactive attitude are likely equally important.

Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers career opportunities mainly in Jakarta and other major cities, especially in technology, logistics, finance, tourism, manufacturing, and digital commerce. Java, including Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta, has the largest concentration of corporate jobs and universities. Bali is popular for tourism, hospitality, creative work, and international communities, while Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan offer opportunities in resources, agriculture, logistics, and regional operations. Indonesian culture values hospitality, community, respect, and religious diversity. Lifestyle ranges from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal or island communities, though traffic and housing costs can be significant in Jakarta and Bali. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the company; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation planning should cover accommodation, health insurance, taxation, banking, and local registration.
