The Indonesian Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is enforcing the requirement for foreign nationals to submit additional documents to apply for long-term work permit (IMTA) extensions. Although this was previously stated in the regulations, the MOM did not strictly enforce these requirements until recently.
Immigration authorities will start strictly enforcing work permit extension rules, according to a recent statement by the Ministry of National Security. Work permit extensions must be filed no later than eight weeks prior to expiry of the valid work permit. Those who fail to renew their work permit before it expires must leave the country and file a new work permit application.
