IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Several changes to the procedures for hiring foreign nationals and the types of work permits to be obtained have been implemented in Indonesia under a recent regulation.
What does the change mean? The new regulation creates stricter rules and will result in longer processing times for employing foreign workers in Indonesia.
Background: The recent changes in the regulation are as follows:
BAL Analysis: The new regulations will have a major impact on businesses, who should anticipate additional inconvenience and costs. This is particularly true given the new requirements to obtain work permits instead of business visas for simple business meetings held in offices and the additional requirements for foreign workers on long-term assignments in the country.
