Working Permit

Hiring or becoming a foreign worker in Indonesia? You’ll need a valid working permit — known as IMTA (Izin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing) — and a Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit for employment purposes).

At Agorasky, we simplify the complex process of securing a working permit in Indonesia for both companies and professionals, ensuring full legal compliance with Indonesian labor and immigration regulations.

What is a Working Permit?

A working permit in Indonesia consists of two main components:

  1. IMTA (Expatriate Work Permit)
    Issued by the Ministry of Manpower, it gives legal approval for a company to hire a foreign worker in a specific role.

  2. Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit)
    Granted by the Directorate General of Immigration, allowing the foreigner to live and work legally in Indonesia during the contract period (usually 6–12 months).

Our Services Include:

  • RPTKA (Manpower Plan) application

  • IMTA (Work Permit) processing

  • KITAS sponsorship & immigration approval

  • Reporting to DPKK (foreign worker compensation fund)
