Hiring foreign staff in Indonesia requires multiple steps: RPTKA, work permits, VITAS, KITAS, reporting, and renewals.
Many companies try to manage this in-house until delays, rejections, or penalties appear.
Swift Visa Indo provides managed visa services for companies in Indonesia that eliminate those risks.
Here’s a side-by-side look at in-house vs managed services.
1. Speed of Processing
In-house:
- HR must learn the process from scratch
- Requires navigating multiple government portals
- Mistakes often delay approvals for weeks
Managed services:
- Swift Visa Indo uses direct government access
- Specialists handle all forms and submissions
- Faster approval for RPTKA, IMTA, VITAS, and KITAS
Result: Expats start work in 3–4 weeks instead of 8–10.
2. Compliance and Risk
In-house:
- High risk of missing regulation updates
- Errors can lead to visa rejections or fines
- No compliance reminders or deadline tracking
Managed services:
- Swift Visa Indo monitors regulation changes
- Ensures RPTKA, IMTA, and KITAS stay valid
- Provides monthly reporting to the Ministry of Manpower
Result: Zero legal risk for the company.
3. Cost Efficiency
In-house:
- Requires hiring visa specialists or training HR staff
- Overtime costs from administrative backlogs
- Penalties from errors add hidden costs
Managed services:
- Pay only for services you need
- Transparent pricing, no surprise fees
- No need to hire full-time compliance staff
Result: Lower and more predictable costs.
4. Coordination with Payroll and Tax
In-house:
- HR often forgets to register expats for NPWP
- Payroll tax (PPh 21) not integrated with KITAS status
- Risk of tax penalties and blocked permits
Managed services:
- Swift Visa Indo links immigration status with payroll
- Registers expats for NPWP and BPJS
- Handles monthly tax reporting for expats
5. Scalability
In-house:
- Adding multiple expats at once overwhelms HR
- Slow manual submissions for each employee
Managed services:
- Swift Visa Indo offers bulk visa and KITAS applications
- Ideal for fast-growing companies or large teams
Result: Easier expansion without HR overload.
