    Indonesia Second Home Programme - All Retirement Stay Permits Abolished and Existing Holders Scheduled for Expulsion in Case of Non-Compliance

    Another part of this law which I don't think has been mentioned is that freedom of speech will be seriously curtailed with this law its no longer permissible to "insult" the president or vice president which can be interpreted as any kind of criticism. Punishment can range from fines to prison...

    Moving our stuff to Bali - Help and advice needed!

    I have just shipped with AGS. Clearly LImajari are a bunch of chancers. $750 for customs clearance is a joke. I have never paid more than £30 for clearing a container into UK.
