Teach in Indonesia — RPTKA first, Second Home ≠ classroom

Labour stack

RPTKA approval before work starts. Employer pays DKP-TKA. Work-class stay is still required after manpower approval.

Second Home trap

Second Home is not work authority — and is not authority for local teaching.

Honesty

Some education posts may sit inside DKP-TKA exemptions — confirm on the live regulation. Teaching itself is not on the 18-role HR closed list — but RPTKA still applies.
