Can a PMA company sponsor work permits for foreign employees?

Yes. A PMA company (foreign-owned company) is legally allowed to sponsor:

• KITAS (Limited Stay Permits),

• RPTKA (Foreign Manpower Employment Plan),

• and the related work permits

for foreign directors, commissioners, shareholders, and employees.

To sponsor foreign workers, the PMA must:

• meet manpower regulations,

• have valid company documents (NIB, deed, business licenses),

• submit an RPTKA,

• and comply with requirements such as hiring Indonesian companion staff where necessary.

A PMA is the standard legal structure for employing foreigners in Indonesia.
