Where We Recruit From
EMIGRATLY recruits nationally across Indonesia, with strong candidate volume from Java, particularly Central and East Java, and from Lombok and parts of Sumatra — regions with long-established histories of overseas labor migration.
Why Our Candidates Choose Overseas Work
Overseas remittances are a significant contributor to Indonesia's economy, and GCC and East/Southeast Asia contracts in construction, hospitality, and warehousing can offer meaningfully higher pay than equivalent domestic roles, particularly outside Java's largest cities.
The Emigration Process
Kemnaker and BP2MI
Indonesian workers going abroad for employment work within a framework overseen by the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) and the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2MI), which registers and protects Indonesian migrant workers throughout the placement process.
Licensed recruitment
EMIGRATLY works within Indonesia's licensed-recruitment framework (P3MI-registered placement channels) and verifies every employer contract directly before any candidate is matched — we never charge placement fees disguised as "processing" or "visa" costs.
Documents You'll Need
- Valid passport: with at least 6 months' validity at the time of travel
- BP2MI registration: completed as part of the licensed-placement process
- Educational and trade certificates: highest qualification plus any vocational/trade documentation
- Police clearance certificate (SKCK): from Indonesian National Police
- Medical fitness certificate: from an approved medical center for your destination country
- Pre-departure briefing: completed as part of the BP2MI-overseen process
Where Our Candidates Go
Indonesian candidates registered with EMIGRATLY are placed most heavily into GCC hospitality and facility-management roles, with growing demand in East and Southeast Asia warehousing and logistics. See the Sectors pages for role-level detail.
