IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Indonesia has introduced more stringent endorsement and signature requirements for foreign nationals applying for work permits.
What does the change mean? Applicants will be required to provide additional stamps or endorsements when submitting curriculum vitae, education certificates and reference letters in support of work permit applications.
Background: The changes are the result of a new regulation. Documents subject to the new requirements include curriculum vitae, education certificates, and reference letters.
Curriculum vitae now require an official corporate stamp from the sponsoring employee, the applicant’s signature on each page, and an IDR 6,000 duty stamp. Education certificates must be stamped with an official corporate stamp, translated into Bahasa Indonesian or English, and accompanied by an IDR 6,000 duty stamp. Reference letters must be endorsed by a local sponsoring entity, stamped with the official corporate stamp of the employer, and accompanied by an IDR 6,000 duty stamp.
BAL Analysis: Employers should be prepared to gather and provide the required stamps and endorsements in order for their applications to be processed in a timely manner.
