Can I work in Indonesia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employer files a foreign-worker plan with the Ministry of Manpower and pays a USD 100 a month levy; in practice hotels hire foreigners only for manager and expert posts.
Watch for: Education that fits the post plus competence or 5 years' experience (by law); working on a visit visa risks deportation; the employer pays the levy and visa.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: TKA Online, foreign-worker plan approval. Checked November 2026.
