Dear Assignee,
We have been engaged by British American Tobacco to assist you with your application for Visa and
Work and Stay Permits to work in Indonesia. We understand that your target start date is ????????.
We believe this date is/is not achievable.
My name is of Ernst & Young Indonesia and the following individuals will be your main points of
contact throughout this application.
We have reviewed your history of applications with our EY global colleagues across immigration, tax and
social security. If applicable we have obtained documents from information previously provided to Ernst
& Young.
For further processing of your Indonesian immigration matter we require the following:
1. Documents required
* Validity of passport must be at least 18 months from the date of arrival.
** Generally this would mean the most recent degree or academic qualification obtained.
*** This depends on the nature of the position. If the work involves a significant element of technical
Expertise, then an appropriate professional qualification may have to be provided.
The Visa and Work and Stay Permits process consists of seven stages:
Stages one to four have to be approved before the applications for stages five to seven can be
submitted to the relevant government offices. Expatriates will be considered legally working in
Indonesia upon obtaining the Work Permit (IMTA) and arriving in Indonesia using the VTT.
Please note that Ernst & Young is proactive and we will prepare each stage of the application in
advance of the process.
Indicative processing times are available in the attached timetable for your reference. Kindly note
that processing times are indicative only and can vary depending on your personal circumstances,
the speed at which requested information is provided by you, and the processing capacity of the
relevant government offices.

Please email us your supporting documents as mentioned above for further processing. Once you
have provided the requisite documents and information, we will acknowledge receipt and send you
further instructions. If there is a change in any of the information you have provided, please advise

After we have all the documents and information required of you, we will prepare the applications
for submission to the authority. We will notify you when each application is submitted and in the
event of any delays to processing by the Immigration Office.
We recommend a briefing call to discuss your application. During the briefing we can discuss the
required documents/information and answer any questions you may have regarding the process.
Should you wish to arrange a briefing call please advise your preferred contact number and two
preferred times and dates. We will then urgently arrange the briefing session.
