I am looking for a job in Jakarta

Hi Yan,

Congrats to the new little one.

You may search local job web sites about open positions.

However it will not be an easy task to find a job here as a foreigner due to the strict laws in Indonesian.

You will need a sponsoring company to get the right working permit besides one only can get it if a local can not do the job.

Bear in mind that you can not take up any work here on one of the visa you may use to visit Indonesia as long you are not holding an IMTA (work permit).

Even a business visa does not allow you to work.

Thank you for replying me, I will try to search for some local job web sites.
So the law defined that no so many local companies being able to hire foreigner, but I think there are so many companies they are able to do this, right?
About the work permit, it should be up to a certification for the companies, I guess should not be a problem.
or you think I need to do something here in advanced?

The company must explain to the Manpower Department why they need to hire a foreigner for the position in question and that will be the most difficult part.

They will not grant a work permit (IMTA) if they think a local worker can fulfill the job description.

Don't underestimate it, even though you will find a company who is willing to employ you, the whole process will take at least 1 month perhaps can take even longer.

In your case it is may be an option to get a limited stay permit (KITAS) first with your wife being the sponsor.

Then you could try to find a company here willing to employ you and if you succeed, the right papers (incl work permit) can be arranged.

Good luck to you Mass Yann

If you have expertise in Customer Service you are especially welcome in Yogyakarta

Yea, the KITAS was the key actually, we did not made it due to the difficulty on checking the information from Embassy.
Well I think that would be not a problem anyway.
My wife's cousin's company maybe will to hire me, based on this concept, I better tell him that I would make KITAS in advance if there is difficulty.
Thanks a lot!

Is your company will to hire employees?
Thanks for your information, but guess I cant go to Yogyakarta, it's quite far from my home in Tasikmalaya, and long turn for me to go back China...

If you are legally married and when it is registered here, then your wife can sponsor your KITAS.

And if your wife's cousin is interested in hiring you in theory they need to apply for the IMTA only....there are cases like that as far as I know.

But again, it depends on the approval of the Manpower Department and the set up of cousin's company respectively job description the plan for you.

You should check what kind of company your cousin is running and ask to check directly with the Manpower what steps to be taken if employing you.

Thank you so much..
Well their company really interested to hire me, but they are a new company, said they dont have the PRTKA, I dont know about this, is it the certain thing that if a company has to get to hire any foreigners?

The RPTKA is the most important thing actually, it's the foreign placement plan what a company needs to submit to the Ministry of Manpower.....due to the new Regulations various additional documents need to be submitted.

Then they will decide whether or not a go ahead in regards of the work permit can be granted.
