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 plan as a specialist with 5 years' experience; in 2018 the energy ministry said HSE, supply-chain, quality-control and junior structural posts stay closed.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: Since March 2018 the plan goes straight to the Ministry of Manpower, with no SKK Migas letter; whether the 2013 closed-posts list still binds was not confirmed.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: TKA Online, foreign-worker plan approval. Checked November 2026.
