Understanding the KITAS for Work in Bali
The work KITAS is an essential document for any foreign national intending to be employed by an Indonesian company or to establish their own business and work within it. It is issued for a specific duration — typically one year — and can be extended. The core requirement is a valid sponsor: an Indonesian company approved by the Ministry of Manpower to hire foreign employees, which initiates the application, demonstrates the need for a foreign worker, and ensures compliance with all labour laws.
