BPJS use
Yes, insurance is an issue. As time progresses we live longer, better living standards etc. But age is a red flag for insurance. I consider growing old as a gift, every day I wake up is a lovely day, some dont get that privilege. Wishing you better health :)- Dianne

BPJS use
Interesting.. I am all for supporting the health system etc, even 'bule' prices would be fine by me, as I previously said, I rarely see a Dr. Can count on one hand the times I've taken up a hispital bed. However, as a Registered Nurse for 40 years, I've seen the changes in Health care in...- Dianne

EPO and how to get it
Yes, it seems that is the way to do this. Funny thing though, ex agent's fees previously were in $US, but now, suddenly offering reduced fees in Rupiah. Any thoughts?- Dianne

BPJS use
How did you manage to sign up? I would pay triple the highest cost just to have it! Private insurance is ridiculously expensive.. in my case anyway as I'm a bloody 'healthy as a Mallee bull' oldie! I rarely see a doctor, maybe once every few years for a check up!- Dianne

EPO and how to get it
Yes, that's true, but I want to 'dump' the old agent before then,and get a new Retirement kitas. I had the thought that I could get the EPO stamp at Immigration myself, OR the new agent do it for me, leave n start again. Bloody minded ex agent keeps emailing me ($$$$ in her eyes etc)- Dianne

EPO and how to get it
Hello everyone. As I am changing agent/sponsor for Retirement visa ( last one was unreasonably expensive, charged in US$, inefficient etc) I must go offshore and start the process again. This is fine by me. However, I need an Exit Permit Only to cease current Kitas. Can I do this myself? Or...- Dianne

Yes, I'll keep watching to see what happens. I have read your blog too. In Aust everyone over 55 is encouraged to have a FOB test ( faecal occult blood), breast screening etc. Glad I did all mine! I was Reg Nurse, and by all accounts you did well!- Dianne

BPJS use
By 'every Indonesian resident' what does that mean? I have tried to enroll but been denied because I do not work.. am on Kitas retirement visa. Does it mean you need to be a permanent resident/employer/ business resident? I would happily pay 'bule' price to get on BPJS even if I never used it...- Dianne

Bali retail chain popular with expats goes under
I live in Bali, and it is becoming a nuisance but there are many other supermarkets, but fresh meat is the difficulty. Indomart etc dont stock meats or fresh vegetables. I feel for the employees, steady jobs are hard to find.- Dianne
