Alien to move into Jakarta soon, need some advise

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the forum here.

You will be perfectly fine with 10 Mio on food only, you even should be able to save money bearing in mind that all other expenses are covered by the company and that you are by yourself only.

Cheers,

Hi happy hour,


Thanks for the informations given, at lease I know what I need to prepare at there..

Just another advise, make sure that you will have the right permits to legally work in Indonesia.

thanks for the advise and company are currently applying KITAS for me, if all doing well and I need to report at JKT branch office before October itself.
That's why I was sourcing around the web and found out this side that helps me a lot...

Let us know how long the kitas takes as there are issues in many fields of business at the moment with having them processed and all at various stage.

Luke is right, there are many different issues to consider and it can take quite some time until all is ready. Sounds your company knows what to do however, KITAS is one thing but you must have also the IMTA (work permit) from the Manpower.

Happy hour,

Thanks for the additional information provided and at least there is IMTA other than this KITAS thus will double check with my boss on this matter as all this will be done by Indonesia branch office itself.


Lukereg,

Actually I work in servicing industries where my company got branches around Asia countries and currently my boss assign me to assist the Indonesia Country Director on daily routine.
I didn't know how long all these things can be out but my boss actually is an expat also previously where he stay at Jakarta for more than 10 years.
Anyway will try to check with him on the duration taken thus what is the magic that they have done..

Thanks

Just update us and feel free to ask, people are happy to assist.

It's always better to gather informations from others as well because in the end it is you who may can face problems when working here without having proper documents.

If you will work for an International shipping company then they should know how to handle to get you the right permits (assume you are min 25 years old)

You should not hesitate to keep asking your colleagues about your new assignment because it shows also that you are serious interested in your new position and that you want to be well prepared.
