    Help Needed: Getting a KITAS for Artistic Work in Indonesia

    A work permit needs to be obtained from manpower requested from your employer. Rp12,000,000 I believe for one year for a single position. This same company would need to sponsor you for your KITAS unless you are married to WNI and then you would be spouse sponsored but would still need an...

    Some New Immigration Fees

    If you want to follow the law then yes, you are required to have a KTP and KK with a KITAP because you change from temporary resident to permanate resident. A KTP and KK can be acquired from your CatSip but not until after you have your KITAP. After each KITAS you went to CatSip to aquire your...

    Indonesia & Corruption: a few articles in the past few weeks

    5 food poisonings locations so far. Has anyone actually on the national level looked at just who received the contracts from the regencies for supplying these meals. Watching some of the video footage on local news I suspect there are major problems in the handling, sanitation, and...

    Trumponomics

    Trump has abandoned Ukraine and is abandoning the EU and as threatened before, will pull out of NATO. Ukraine will rally the EU for support and keep on fighting while draining Russia's finances. It was Russia that kept saying WWIII but now trump is repeating it. Thing is, if there is a WWIII...

    Why Indonesia...?

    Let's see. With the commenter in charge hovering over evey post I think it best to keep it short avoiding information for his fuel. 35 or so years ago I promised my wife we would return in a permanate basis to Indonesia upon retirement. We did that in 2012. Now I live a life of a free thinking...

    Skype alternative.

    I received the notification of Skype ending service in April 3, 25 also. Been using it for 14 years now. Since here have been using it to contact family and Government agencies in the US. At first just used the credit I kept in hand and calls from here to the US were only .015$ per minute. Skype...

    How to obtain Indonesian Citizenship

    I as well as other older Americans easily qualify and receive that monthly SS payment that we have contributed to for many long years. There would be thousands just in the Philippines that would argue against your assumption too. Millions around the world. As for SSI, maybe but it does need a...

    How to obtain Indonesian Citizenship

    Americans or former Americans could still collect Social Security and any privately funded pension program. A foreigner working in the US, if worked the qualifying years would be able to collect the same no matter where they lived.

    Costs/Copay using BPJS, real life examples

    From all that I have read over the years, there have been some accepted and many rejected. The best way around it was to make sure the foreign spouse was listed on the same KK as the WNI spouse and the WNI spouse being the head of household. They seem to all be approved.

    Trumponomics

    I do not believe the Republicans get lambasted for wanting to increase the debt. There problem has always been what they want to add to the bills. Reporting on budget negotiations never mention they are stuck on the debt part but more on what's to be added. The Dems could say the same about...

    Trumponomics

    Your link says Just last month, Trump torpedoed a bipartisan stopgap spending bill by insisting Congress raise the debt ceiling -- or simply eliminate it -- before outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden's term in office expires on Jan. 20.

    Hasto Kristiyanto claims that Prabowo’s government has cause to be ‘afraid’ of him

    PDI-P is the only party that has refused to join Prabowo's coalition and remain an opposition party. This arrest is political for Prabowo to say join or else. Megawati,nthe parties head still has a lot of power in Indonesia and if this comes down to a fight you may find a number of parties...

    Trumponomics

    He certainly did. Even the link you provided states he wanted the debt ceiling raised. His proposal for the one, maybe two big bills includes raising the debt ceiling 2 trillion dollars.

    Trumponomics

    Ah, you do realize that trump's purpose in raising the debt ceiling is to add to the federal deficit?

    Music

    Still plenty of good guitar players. Many women with sweet voices but also can easily change to suit their song. The 70s and even 60s were dominated by electrical instrument. Even the likes of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Richy Valens, in the late 50s were electrically accompanied. Have to go...

    Music

    I always found The Who, Jethro Tull, and even Kiss to be calming. As for Punk Rock, while I don't listen to it a lot, I have known the bands to point their lyrics towards social injustices and at times point fingers at those that could make a difference. Nothing wrong with that. We has anti war...

    Trumponomics

    Go for it. Shows the failure of the US government in action. Thank Congress and the department of defense for the Vietnam failure, not the military. The military were the ones who did all they could to at least get people out. Nice to see the end. I was involved with it. How about the beginning...

    Trumponomics

    The defense budget covers more than just the Army. The US military have never lost a war. You can thank Congress and presidents for those. Bases, really, the US doesn't need a single friend. I wonder where France will fall under Putin and the tri power world. Probably will be top of the list...

    Trumponomics

    I heard trump on TV state that he wants to cut the defence budget in half. With his desire to abandon Europe and move all US forces out of it, that just may be possible. Could then change the constitution declaring the US Armed Forces, boarder guards. The big picture of a three power world order...
