The E23 is the residence and work permit for foreigners employed by an Indonesian company. All-in from USD 2,190, government fee included — the compliant, fully-managed route to living and working in Bali under a local sponsor.
The Working KITAS (E23) is intended for foreigners employed by an Indonesian company. It grants both the right to reside in the country and the authorisation to hold a genuine, salaried role — the two things a professional relocating to Bali needs before they can begin work.
Because it is an employment permit, the E23 rests on two foundations: an Indonesian sponsor and the underlying work permit, the RPTKA. It is renewable, and with each renewal it builds standing toward permanent residency (KITAP) over time.
The E23 is for foreign professionals hired by a PT or PT PMA in Indonesia. If a local company is bringing you on to a paid, hands-on role — management, technical, advisory or otherwise — this is the category that makes that employment lawful and your residence secure.
Your employer acts as sponsor and holds the RPTKA work permit that underpins the KITAS. We coordinate both sides in sequence — the work permit and the residence permit — so the documents align and the application moves without avoidable delay.
The E23 is renewable, and consistent renewals over several years build eligibility for permanent residency (KITAP). For those who intend to make Indonesia a long-term home, the Working KITAS is the natural first step on that path.

The essentials on sponsorship and validity for the E23 Working KITAS.
Yes. The E23 is an employment permit, so it must be sponsored by the Indonesian company that employs you. That sponsor also holds the underlying work permit (RPTKA), which the KITAS is built upon. We coordinate both with your employer so the two align correctly.
An E23 is typically issued for one to two years and is renewable. Renewing consistently over several years builds eligibility toward permanent residency (KITAP), making the Working KITAS a durable base for a long-term stay in Indonesia.
