        "content": "<p>The licensing process for Foreign Workers (TKA) working in Indonesia\nas part of investment activities is now targeted to become significantly\nfaster. The government is integrating several licensing systems to\nensure business actors receive time certainty when processing TKA\ndocuments.<\/p>\n<p>This policy was marked by the signing of two Joint Decrees (SKB) by\nthe Minister of Manpower Yassierli, the Minister of Immigration and\nCorrectional Services Agus Andrianto, and the Minister of Investment and\nDownstreaming\/Head of BKPM Rosan P. Roeslani on Thursday\n(10\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Through this policy, the government aims to streamline processes that\nwere previously scattered across various services. This integration is\nexpected to make the management of TKA permits easier, faster, and\nprovide certainty for companies investing in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Joint Decrees regulates the integration of the Online\nSingle Submission (OSS) owned by the Ministry of Investment and\nDownstreaming\/BKPM with the Labour Service Information and Application\nSystem (SIAPkerja) of the Ministry of Manpower, as well as the All\nIndonesia application of the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional\nServices.<\/p>\n<p>The integration covers the ratification of the Foreign Worker\nUtilisation Plan (RPTKA). Additionally, applications for Limited Stay\nVisas (VITAS), Limited Stay Permits (ITAS), and Permanent Stay Permits\n(ITAP) for foreign workers in the context of investment are now included\nin the connected system.<\/p>\n<p>Rosan stated that this step is part of the effort to create a more\nconducive investment climate. According to him, certainty in the\nlicensing process is one of the vital factors for companies when\nbringing in foreign workers to support their investment activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this collaboration, it provides significant business certainty.\nBecause foreign workers can know exactly when they can obtain the\nrequired permits,\u201d Rosan said in an official statement on Thursday\n(10\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Service speed is also one of the changes being offered. The\ngovernment targets the permit issuance process for each service to be\ncompleted within approximately four days.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if the permit is not completed within a five-day limit,\nrelated documents can be issued automatically according to the\nestablished mechanism. This provision is part of the service time\ncertainty through a Service Level Agreement (SLA).<\/p>\n<p>Rosan believes that the ease of this process can also support the\ninflux of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Indonesia. This is\nbecause several industrial sectors still require specific expertise from\nforeign workers brought in by investing companies.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the government hopes that the presence of foreign\nworkers will not only meet labour needs in certain sectors. The transfer\nof knowledge and transfer of technology to Indonesian human resources is\nalso expected to be an impact of such investments, while simultaneously\ndriving the creation of high-quality employment.<\/p>",
