We get asked this question a lot by Investor KITAS clients in Bali, Indonesia, who have a PT PMA Company.
With the Investor KITAS, you are allowed to manage your company in Indonesia.
Jobs you are permitted to do include:
- Meetings with suppliers & staff
- Staff training
- Online marketing activities
- Give talks & lectures
- Manage the business finances
- Negotiate large business deals
- Visit the site of your business & potential new business locations
The Investor KITAS does not allow you to do manual work for your company.
Examples of work you cannot do:
- Serve customers on a small scale. For instance, you cannot work at the cash register, serve food to tables or take orders
- Teach a class, such as yoga, fitness or surfing
- Perform at a venue, such as singing or playing an instrument in a band
- Undertake manual marketing activities, such as doing product photography or setting up your stand at events
If the work you want to do in Bali, Indonesia, falls into these later categories, you will need a working KITAS rather than an Investor KITAS.
