When it comes to foreigners working in Indonesia, the government is very strict. It is essential to follow the laws and make sure you only work with a permit because many foreigners have faced hefty fines or deportation for not doing so. We highly recommend respecting the rules and laws to ensure you have peace of mind during your time here.
An Entertainment ITAS can be sponsored by an independent agency, which means you don’t need an employer to obtain one. Bali Solve can act as your sponsor for you and help you make the process transparent and efficient, so that you can focus on your craft.

2. The next step is to acquire a work permit intended for foreigners which is known as an IMTA (Izin Memperkerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing) - 10-15 business days.
3. In this stage, you will receive your e-ITAS visa which usually takes around 5-8 business days to issue. Please note that you should enter Indonesia within 90 days from when the e-visa is issued.
4. As you arrive in Indonesia using the e-ITAS, your Working permit will activate and you will do your photos and fingerprint scan at the airport so you don’t need to go to Immigration later. Your day 1 of Entertainment ITAS will be the day or arrival to Indonesia.
