For first-timers in Indonesia, getting your visas and permits can be challenging. Understanding the immigration rules and steps can be difficult to navigate, even for those who have lived in the country for decades. The visa process itself is very rigorous and the processing time for visas can take anywhere from 2-6 months.
Make sure your employer or organisation has all the required permits and visas lined up and ready by the time you need to relocate. If you're responsible for you and your family’s permits, it may be best to choose a trusted agent or relocating firm to help you.
