A Working KITAS (Index 312) can be either issued for 6 months or 12 months, depending on the type of company, investment capital, and qualifications of the applicant. The length of each working KITAS is based on job positions commonly ranging from six to 12 months, and it goes hand in hand with a Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP).

This type of KITAS allows you to work and earn money in Indonesia. It can only be obtained if you have a sponsoring company registered in Indonesia.

A Working KITAS is sponsored by an Indonesian entity; this can include Indonesian owned PT. Locals, Foreign-owned PMA companies, and formal or not for profit institutions (Yayasan) and Foreign Representative Offices (KPPA),
