Hello there,
I'm currently living and employed in The Netherlands and plan to move with wife and kids to Indonesia (for at least 2 years) this summer.
My wife and kids have Indonesian passport but I do not (my passport is Dutch).
My current employer (Financial/Tech industry) has an entity in Europe and Singapore (among others), but not in Indonesia. They do allow me to keep working for the company remotely from Indonesia and is open for flexible solutions.
My wife is currently not employed.
So, here's the challenge I could use advise on:
What type of VISA should apply for?
A few models I was thinking about :
1.) Apply for a Family VISA without Indonesian work permit (but keeping foreign income).
- Is this allowed? Or does a family VISA require an Indonesian income?
2.) Open a company in Indonesia and apply for a work permit and visa through this company (and have my current employer hire this company)?
- Due to the high capital requirements of a PT PMA, it probably makes sense to for my wife to open the business on her name as a PT and have her 'hire me'. Is this viable?
3.) Keep foreign (potentially Singaporese) employment contract and fly back and forth to Singapore at least one day per month with a Multiple-Entry Business Visa.
- Due to COVID and strict quarantine requirements (of SG), this might not be a valid option.
Are any of the above viable options? Or are there better options I'm missing.
Really appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks,
Joey
