    Property Taxes on less than 100 m2

    Property tax rates are different for each province (or kabupaten), I believe the 100m2 exemption is in Jakarta. A google search found me this: https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2016/02/16/07080041/Ini.Kategori.Rumah.yang.Berhak.Dapat.Pembebasan.PBB

    Tax Reporting for Overseas Property & Income

    This was the second round of amnesty in 2022. They also had different tiers of tax percentages depending on where the funds were and whether you were repatriating them to Indonesia.

    Help To Be Removed from Blacklist

    The best way to solve your issue is to have a family member go to the immigration office in Jakarta and plead your case for you. JKT-Pontianak flights are probably under $100 one way, and hotels in Jakarta can be had for much less than that. Your total cost should be well under $1,000. US$6000...

    B211 entry port

    I don't think this will be a problem. I doubt the immigration agent at the airport will check the address of the sponsor, but if they do just say you are going to Tangerang at some point or the family in Tangerang is going to visit you in Bali.

    Renting a house - pay upfront ?

    I have been on both sides, both as a renter and landlord. So a few observations: 1. I would always opt for a 1-year lease if possible unless the 2-year price is significantly better, but maybe not even then. 2. I have never heard of a landlord "evicting" tenants by being difficult to them...

    open bank account and crs form

    Regular OVO only allows a balance of Rp 2jt. You can upgrade to Premium (max balance 20jt) by submitting selfie + photo ID, as required by Bank Indonesia's requirement. I'm guessing at this point you become trackable by the tax office. As for privacy: when it comes to personal data and...

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    Put it this way, if the inverter dies, you need a whole new AC. Normal ACs don't have this point of failure, and local technicians are quite skilled in fixing them.

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    I second both either Daikin or Mitsubishi. After going through several dozen ACs of multiple brands and conditions, those two brands stand out. I'd even give Mitsubishi a slight edge. Also agree that unless you are running AC pretty much all the time, an inverter will not make sense. First of...

    Aviation info.

    Very familiar with this route. The crew does the AMS - SIN flight. Then stay 1 night in SIN, then does SIN-DPS-SIN, stay one night in SIN, then do SIN-AMS. So they would have a crew transport and hotel ready. However, KLM should arrange for accommodations for the passengers due to this delay...

    Kitap issues

    What was your previous KITAP based on? I'm assuming marriage to a WNI. Since you are now divorced, this is no longer a possibility until you remarry to a WNI, of course. I'm also assuming that "solving the issue" means living in Indonesia legally. Your daughter is a minor, and therefore unable...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    This somehow conveniently escaped nearly all the western media outlets. I guess a headline of "All Extra-marital Sex in Indonesia to remain legal unless reported by an immediate relative" is not click-baity enough. Also, the immediate fingering of "religion", or worse a "particular religion" as...

    How do you guys invest?

    Correct, I should have been more clear. PPh final only applies to any source of income directly taxed at the time of transaction. This is by its nature only applicable to sources from Indonesia (Banking interests, dividends and stock sale in Indonesia, sale of property in Indonesia, etc)...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    This has always been the case. Extramarital sex by a married person has always been illegal, punishable by jail time if they are reported by the other married party. The only thing that has changed is that the max sentence is now 1 year from 9 months previously. The new part of the legislation...

    Folks with experience on C318 repatriation visa please help.

    I think whoever you talked to may have been confused between KITAS/P (foreigner) holder sponsoring their children, and a WNI parent sponsoring their children. For a foreigner with KITAS/P they can only sponsor their minor (under 18) children. This is your point no 2 in your post. For a WNI, they...

    Ex-WNI Entering Indonesia with Foreign Passport

    From now on just treat it as if you no longer have Indonesian citizenship. Leave your Indonesian passport (and KTP) in Canada and enter with your Canadian passport and VOA. Never heard of anyone having a problem doing this, unless they're crazy and whip out both passports (has happened!). The...
