Hi EB team,

Nice job but in regards of the different visa's there are informations which are not correct same in regards of the article about work in Indonesia.

Will try to correct when my time permits in between, in fact I just send my correction on the "work in Indonesia" article but somehow it disappeared

Thank you this is very useful information.

Lots of things have changed recently so everybody should be alerted if the intention is to work in Indonesia.

One glaring error that I noticed straight out is this, concerning work in Bali:

"Bali's labor market is quite open to foreign expertise. In general, expatriates are likely to be hired in the following fields: tourism and hospitality, textile, teaching, restaurants."

Jobs in Bali are near impossible for foreigners aside for "native English language" teachers with full accreditation.  In tourism and hospitality, unless the position is with a 5 star resort as GM or Executive Chef, then forget about it.  Bali after all is home to Indonesia's best tourism college and there is no short supply of local (Indonesian) candidates.  When you see a foreigner working in a restaurant in Bali...they own it, thus they are able to get a work permit. 

As it is, this forum gets frequent requests from posters wanting to live and work in Bali.  It's a pipe dream for 99% of those who are considering working here.   

What I'm getting at is, why be so encouraging when in fact the truth is nothing like as stated in that sentence? 

This is just off the top of my head as I haven't read all that's linked in the opening post.
