    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but an excess of 40 deaths a day compared to long term average is not a small number. Roughly an excess of 1200 deaths a month for Jakarta? I'd imagine with PSBB there should be less traffic related death too?

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Don't you love the kind of 'positive vibe' headlines you get from the local newspapers here? ;) 'Lagi, Angka Kesembuhan Corona Lebih Tinggi dari Tambahan Kasus Positif' -> meaning: just keep our daily testing capacity low, we will eventually get there!

    KITAP ex-Indonesian proof of lost citizenship

    actually now that you mentioned this, I used to contact this online service that does certified translation. Even though I ended up not using them, I am quite sure they do certify a copy of the document as well, you can check it out. https://solusipenerjemah.com/layanan/

    KITAP ex-Indonesian proof of lost citizenship

    That I am not too sure about. I'd imagine something like the justice of the peace equivalent in some western countries might be adequate. However, don't put too much hope on it. regarding the copy of WNA passport,I can't remember, but pretty much everything that they ask you to submit a copy...

    KITAP ex-Indonesian proof of lost citizenship

    Hi Ani, If you got everything ready, it is not supposed to be that long, perhaps a few weeks. If you are not yet in Indonesia it is not worth it starting the process since the document is not required to apply for KITAS, it is only needed when you apply for SKTT or KTP-OA. the copies of the...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    even with this, you got to take into account that the partial/full lockdown implemented would decrease the number of non-covid related deaths. This means that the 'excess' death is something more than just the difference between the two averages.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Can someone explain to me why the current PDP is not counted in the official tally of positive cases? In my limited understanding, the problem with that antigen rapid test system is that it can't detect early cases, hence a high change of false negative. But if it comes out positive in rapid...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    According to Sydney Morning Herald: "Health Ministry spokesman Achmad Yurianto told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald on Monday that 4000 rapid test kits had been used in south Jakarta, one of the epicentres of the outbreak, and that "90 per cent of cases are negative". That would suggest...

    I also hope that this is the case, though our history with previous flu pandemic seems to indicate otherwise. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3687026/

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi Tinoz, Unfortunately I can't give you any advice regarding this. As you have experienced yourself, most of the people who are supposed to know what the law means have no clue what they are talking about. I've found lawyers the same in this case. I think to sum up what I've heard so far: 1...

    WNA, wife sponsored Kitap, working without IMTA in PMA

    Thanks for this Jstar, do you have any idea how do you even interpret the "informal sector" or "freelance"? how do you even own a small business that is not a legal entity?

    WNA, wife sponsored Kitap, working without IMTA in PMA

    I could understand why the $1200 is demanded by the gov... Assuming that the company could get an RPTKA and IMTA for the ex-WNI or spouse KITAP/S holder but decided not to, in order to save money. But what if the WNA or the company that he/she is planning to work for couldn't fulfill the...

    KITAP Renewal

    This is an interesting case. A MERP allows you to travel back and forth Indonesia within the validity of it. If the MERP somehow expired when you lived overseas, does it actually prevent you from entering the country (if your KITAP is still valid). Does the law prevent you from entering the...

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Indeed. In fact, many returnees are aware of this loophole in the system. Hence managed to obtain citizenship in another country that allows multiple citizenship, and then return back home with Indonesian travel document and then continues life as usual :) As of the current, it seems like The...
