IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Indonesia has eliminated 30-day provisional temporary stay permits.
What does the change mean? Work permit holders can no longer use the provisional permits to cover their stay when their work permits expire while waiting for renewals.
Background: The elimination of the permit means that foreign workers no longer have an option to bridge their stay if there is a gap between the expiration of date of their current work permits and the approval of the renewed permits.
BAL Analysis: Companies and assignees must pay closer attention to expiration dates of work permits and allow enough lead time to complete the renewal process so that permits do not expire before the renewal is approved.
