VISA・Company

Last week, Indonesia's Investment Coordinating Agency (Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal (BKPM) notified us that the ministry will be closed from August 6 to 19 and all employees will work from home due to the outbreak of a new type of coronavirus among employees, this time, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia) will also be closed from August 12 to 21 after several staff members were found to be infected.

IT providers such as ours, when dealing with new clients, are required to provide the AKTA Pendirian or SK (Surat Keputusan Pendirian)
We are sometimes asked to submit a copy of our TDP (Tanda Daftar Perusahaan) and SIUP (Surat Izin Usaha Perdagangan Menengah), but this time we were asked to submit our NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha) for the first time when we started business with a major consumer electronics manufacturer.

What we mean by "starting a small business" here is that an individual leaves the office and establishes a domestic capital investment company (Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri (PMDN)) with his own funds, while keeping fixed costs such as labor and office rents as low as possible, turning the whole process from purchasing to sales, and paying corporate income tax and value-added tax every month as appropriate.

Don't they have permanent residency in Indonesia? The answer to this question is that there is no permanent residence for foreigners, but the nearest visa available is the KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap Permanent Residence Permit), which is valid for five years.

I was relieved and relieved to have a paper company after going through a series of administrative procedures such as checking the name of the company at the Legal Affairs Bureau and applying for an SK, creating an AKTA at Notaris, and applying for SIUP and TDP at the local government offices. I was also a little worried that I would have to pay taxes under the NPWP, and I felt a sense of crisis if I didn't open an account at the bank. The psychological state of establishment of a local PT in Indonesia has changed like this.

Apply for and receive approval of the RPTK (Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja) Foreign Employment Plan (available online) and get a Letter of Recommendation TA.01 (approval to issue 12 months IMTA) from KEMNAKER (Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi) (available online).

I have been to Singapore for 2 days to get a new working VISA, VITAS(Visa Tinggal Terbatas=Index 312) just before KITAS expired date at the end of last month. Before that I have got VISA Telex approval (VTT) which is necessary to be issued VITAS according to the timing of EPO (Exit Permit Only) of former KITAS.

If you wish to extend your stay for 30 days, you will need your passport, return ticket, VOA sticker (stamp), domisili (certificate of location) and sponsor letter (Indonesian).

When you go through the EPO process, you will be stamped with the "Return of Imigration document" on your passport as proof that you have returned the temporary residence permit (Kartu Ijin Tinggal Sementara) issued to you by the imigre, and you will need to leave the country "within 7 days" (within 7 days).

In Japan, prior to the enactment of the New Company Law in 2006, when establishing a company, the choice was between a limited company or a joint-stock company (and rarely a joint-stock company or joint-named company), but now it is a joint-stock company.

After receiving the approval of RPTKA (Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing) from the Ministry of Labor and Migration (Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi) and obtaining a letter of recommendation (Rekomendasi TA.01), pay the $1,200 to DPKK (Dana Pengembangan Keahilan Keterampilan) and obtain a Working Permit (IMTA), the Kementerian Hukum dan HAM RI (Immigration Bureau) will issue a Telex (C312 Visa VTT) to the Indonesian Embassy.

Only C312 visa (6 months and 12 months) is allowed to work, and since it is a single entry visa, it is necessary to obtain a MERP (Multiple Exit/Re-entry Permit) separately in order to enter and exit the country within the period.

In order to acquire a local company (PT), the KTPs of the director (representative director) and the commissarist (auditor) are required, and both of them must have obtained the NPWP.
