e-PMI (Pekerja Migran Indonesia) is the electronic registration every Indonesian domestic worker needs to be legally deployed overseas. It replaced the old physical KTKLN card (Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri) and is issued through Indonesia’s migrant-worker protection agency, BP2MI. It confirms the helper went through the proper recruitment, training and pre-departure process. A helper still within her first contract who holds a valid e-PMI/e-KTKLN can keep using it when returning to the same employer; a new deployment or employer transfer needs the e-PMI in order. Upwill coordinates the e-PMI and Indonesian Embassy paperwork as part of standard placement and transfer service.
