What actually goes wrong
The sponsor half decides the timeline
Most KITAS delays come from the company's own documents, not yours. Getting the sponsor's set assembled as one numbered bundle early is where the weeks are saved.
Job title must match the degree
The ministry cross-checks the position against your qualification and experience. A mismatch between the RPTKA job title and your degree stalls the application until one of them is amended.

Indonesia KITAS Work Permit questions
Is this the same for a spouse KITAS?
No. A dependent KITAS runs off the marriage certificate and the sponsor's own permit rather than the RPTKA route. The passport and photo requirements are the same.
