Questions we hear often

Which permit does a foreign employee need?

To work, an employee needs the company's approved RPTKA and a working stay permit. Corporate-sponsored experts apply under the E23 working visa index. We confirm the exact route after a short review of the position and passport.

Can the employee's family come too?

Yes. A spouse and children can hold family union permits (E31) sponsored by the employee. We file them together and keep their dates in step with the main permit.

What happens when a passport is renewed?

The stay permit has to be transferred to the new passport. Send us the new passport details as soon as it is issued and we handle the transfer.

What is an EPO?

Exit Permit Only. It closes a stay permit when the holder leaves Indonesia for good, for example at the end of an assignment.

Do you serve companies outside Batam?

Yes. We are based in Batam, Riau Islands, and also serve companies in other provinces.
