    POS Indonesia

    I had a friend visiting from the US several months ago and he left his sunglasses at my house, I mailed them back to him from Bali to Washington State in the US using Indonesian Post, cost was less than idr200,000 and he received them in 10 days.

    POS Indonesia

    The last time I received the cards was last November, maybe it helped that they were sent via FedEx instead of USPS. They were also two metal credit cards one for my wife and one for me, so I would assume they would attract more interest than a plastic debit card, but all 3 times in past 2...

    POS Indonesia

    I have been lucky, having credit cards delivered from Chase bank in the US using FedEx. Never got hit up for taxes, delivered straight to my house and have had 3 different sets mailed over in the past 2 years.

    Exit tax and base currency

    Tax office was in Bali Funny story about the name Vanuatu, when I was setting up my original account on the old expat site I happened to be on a zoom call with my dad at the same time and he was in Vanuatu on a business trip, so I used that as my user name, I have never been there myself.

    Exit tax and base currency

    I went to the tax office the past 2 years to discuss getting an NPWP as I am a full time resident on a spousal KITAP, but neither my wife nor I derive any income from Indonesia.

    EV in Indonesia

    A Tesla with "B" plates parked next to me in Bali the other day so I asked the guy if he drove from Jakarta and how he recharged, and he said it was impractical to try and charge along the toll road and that he had the car sent over on a truck and flew here and will do the same when he goes back...

    question~ C317 visa and KITAS

    I processed a c317 in 2021 and used a foreign bank account with no problem to verify funds. If you are applying offshore there wouldn't be an expectation for you to have an Indonesian bank account open yet.

    Affidavit or Renew (Child) Indo Passport?

    I don't know if it is different now as my son is 14 so we did his affidavit back in 2009, but it is good until he is 18. It is a card that we carry along with his foreign passport and hasn't changed even though he is on his 3rd foreign passport.

    The Bank of Indonesia and GPN domestic card payment system

    Nasi JInggo is 5K IDR here in Bali and I know many who would be happy to have a 5K note for lunch. Plus carrying around 5,10 and 20K are perfect for tips
