How long after resigning can I withdraw JHT?
An old age savings (JHT) lump sum can be paid only once one month has passed from the issuance of a resignation certificate. The JHT lump sum can be paid only once one month has passed from the date of termination (PHK).

Is there a wait when leaving Indonesia for good?
JHT has a one month wait after a resignation letter or a dismissal date, and the permanent departure route carries no wait, so the only clock that matters is the one on your papers.
