IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? New regulations have been issued that make several changes to work-permit procedures.
What does the change mean? The regulations generally provide more flexibility for companies and foreign workers. These include measures to provide options for urgent assignments, allow certain foreign workers to work for more than one employer, exempt certain foreign workers from the Foreign Worker Placement Plan requirements and extend the duration of some limited stay permits. A new requirement has been added that companies must issue a certificate to Indonesian workers as proof of the transfer of knowledge from a foreign worker to the Indonesian counterpart, although it is unclear whether it only applies for extensions of long-term work Permits.

BAL Analysis: The regulations provide for important changes that companies should prepare for in the coming months. BAL is following the new regulations and will update clients when implementation details are released by the Ministry of Manpower and immigration authorities.
