    Practice Bahasa Indonesia while volunteering to teach English to local children

    I suggest everyone thinking they can work in any country on a visitor or tourist visa watch the TV program "Border Security".

    Buying land

    1. How is that being closed? If one reads Indonesian law on property ownership in RI there is not one reference to a 'nominee ownership' or loophole. This terminology was used by realtors to imply an Indonesian 'nominee', for a fee, could hold the property title 'in lieu' of the foreigner. This...

    The ongoing Trump saga

    I'm sure all members know that Rudi Giuliani was Mayor of New York for many years and did great things for the city including his leadership during the twin towers attack in 9/11. Yet he has only been on Trump's legal team for a couple of weeks and appears to have ruined his reputation and...

    True or false ?

    My wife is Indonesian born but now a Canadian citizen. She renewed her Sim A just a few weeks ago and inquired from the police if she could purchase a new car in Bali. They were clear that even a KTP Asing did NOT permit her to do so. It required a WNI KTP. Our current car is a DK (Bali...

    Buying land

    Do you have any reference that any one of those cases being relevant to any foreigner, other than I suggested about ' Susi Johnston', that is before the Bali court?

    Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior in Jakarta!

    I think Balifrog did offend by his post/remark in post #21 and owes an apology....at least to the family of Fernando Pereira. Although I don't agree with Fred's rhetoric he does have a point. We should never forget what actually happened and say "water under the bridge'..... that's crap...

    Buying land

    I was talking about this Alexander/Thomas case as being irrelevant. If you wish to hash about the legal problems associated with nominees a better example would be the Susi Johnston case......https://www.smh.com.au/world/a-nightmare-in-paradise-20150709-gi8lrr.html

    Buying land

    I recall the case as it was used by many advocates of the 'nominee' method of 'owning' property in RI to be lawful. The facts, and judges, didn't actually conclude that. The case itself was bizarre as both parties were involved in fraud. In fact, the Bule (Patrick), initially was found guilty...

    Buying land

    If my memory serves me well I'm sure the civil case was found in the Bule favor and the land returned to the original nominee as the transfer was found to be fraudulent. Not sure what happened to that case thereafter. I also recall that JT was charged with a crime, found guilty and sentenced to...

    Aviation info.

    Gunung Merapi near Jogjakarta has erupted again today ... According to Darwin VAAC the aviation code is red but at this time I don't see it affecting overflying aircraft as they are much higher than the forecast ash. It may affect local aircraft traffic or arriving or departing Jogja or other...

    The ongoing Trump saga

    News today is that a White House staffer said they they don't care that Senator McCain didn't approve of Trump's nominee for CIA Director as McCain was dying anyway. President Trump has set a bar of decency so low that an international limbo dancer couldn't get lower...and his staff mimic him.

    Indonesia offers to Host Trump-Kim meeting

    Mark2017...I'm really glad you aren't in charge of Trumps' security. On second thoughts......maybe I should wish you were.. 1. Trump meets Kim on 12th June 2018....one month from tomorrow. 2. Your link is to a trip Trump already did last November 2017.

    Indonesia offers to Host Trump-Kim meeting

    News is Trump will meet Kim in Singapore on June 12th. Hope the Singaporean police have their security act in place......I cannot think of any other two mortals being together and so ripe for assassination.

    Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior in Jakarta!

    According to Wiki.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Pereira "Fernando Pereira (10 May 1950 – 10 July 1985) was a freelance Dutch photographer, of Portuguese origin, who drowned when French intelligence (DGSE) detonated a bomb and sank the Rainbow Warrior, owned by the environmental...

    US Government Pension transfer

    Seems complicated to have any Gov't send pensions to foreign countries. UK and Canada are the same. Why not have a USA bank account and have the pension paid there...then transfer/exchange, when needed, into an Indonesian bank. For example: my 2 UK GBP Gov't pensions are paid into HSBC UK and...

    Aussie newby Health insurance dilemna

    My experience is that hospitals nickel and dime on every bit of treatment they provide and the only time it is compounded is just before being discharged. My wife's head was spinning at having to sign an invoice for every injection; every enema; every laxative; every bit of fluid they provided...

    Indonesia may extend passports to ten years validity

    Good news for Indonesians and for mixed-citizen expat spouses and children.... http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2018/05/08/directorate-extend-passport-validity-address-backlog.html

    Aussie newby Health insurance dilemna

    Of course treatment is another cost but, as your post didn't include any details of treatment, nor even where the hospital is located, it was reasonable to assume you meant, as stated above, a STAY in some hospital. This is why I made my comparison to the cost of my stay in a Bali hospital...

    Aussie newby Health insurance dilemna

    I agree that saving the premium and, in effect, becoming self-insured, is a good option for the elderly and one that I used and have posted about here and elsewhere. You are lucky to be able to return to Australia as a plan B and get immediate treatment. I'm Canadian and, when diagnosed with...
