An Expatriate Hiring Plan is a mandatory document that must be submitted to and approved by the Indonesian government before a company can legally hire foreign workers. This plan outlines the specific roles expatriates will fill, justifying the need for hiring international talent over local workers. It includes details such as the position, duration of employment, and the company’s commitment to training Indonesian workers in similar roles.

Government approval ensures that the hiring complies with labor regulations and aligns with the country's workforce development goals. Submitting a well-prepared hiring plan helps streamline the approval process and supports smooth, compliant expatriate employment.
