In light of increased random audits, the Indonesian government reiterates that foreign nationals must provide complete information to the immigration department, and must report any changes in civil status, citizenship, employment, guarantor, or address within 30 days of the change to the immigration department. Companies must ensure that their foreign employees report any changes within the deadline; otherwise, a warning letter will be issued to the company, and failure to comply within 30 days after that may result in legal sanctions. Additionally, hotels and apartments must periodically report foreign guests to the immigration department to help monitor changes in the residence status of ITAS (limited stay permit) holders.
The government also reminds foreign workers to use job titles consistent with those on their permits, avoiding discrepancies in social media or business communications. Those on official trips should report their activities and temporary residence to the local immigration office, particularly for visits to factories or industrial sites. When renewing permits, foreign employees must verify that their job title and address match the details on their current ITAS. Additionally, if a company changes its name, all foreign employees must update their sponsorship within 30 days to reflect the new company name. Companies must likewise ensure that changes in the positions of the Board of Directors or Board of Commissioners, as officially recorded in the Deed of Appointment as a Director of the company, must be reported as this is monitored due to the integration between Online Single Submission and immigration systems.
