    KTP for KITAP holders.

    I know that as a KITAP holder I'm supposed to have an E-KTP orang asing but the two times I've been to the East Jakarta Dinas Kependudukan they've told me that their system is unable to handle the request and they've ended up issuing me with a very unimpressive the plain old KTP orang asing (the...

    Safety Threats due to civil unrest or disruption

    I was here in 1998 but am optimistic that things won't get that bad this time around. We are fortunate enough to live close to TNI headquarters and have several high-ranking serving and retired military officers living in our housing complex so with luck there will be some protection. Perhaps...

    Jakarta bans gatherings of more than 5 people

    The image in my previous post suggests that it only applies to transportasi daring (vehicles booked online like Gojek, Gocar) but a quote from the Jakarta Governor via detik.com implies it's for all private vehicles Anies melanjutkan penumpang kendaraan pribadi juga dibatasi menjadi 50 persen...

    Jakarta bans gatherings of more than 5 people

    It seems as though three people are allowed in a sedan but other than that it's as I said earlier. https://www.liputan6.com/news/read/4222480/anies-baswedan-keluarkan-aturan-soal-kendaraan-pribadi-saat-psbb-ini-isinya...

    Jakarta bans gatherings of more than 5 people

    If you are heading out tomorrow in Jakarta there are new transportation rules to bear in mind. 1. In a sedan only the driver may sit in the front with one passenger in the back. 2. If the vehicle is a jeep, SUV or minibus then one driver in the front, two passengers in the middle seat (left...

    English Style Pies in Bandung

    I've had a few of the chicken curry pies from Pie World and they're not bad at all. You can buy a box of them, put them in the freezer and cook them when needed but my Javanese wife liked the pies in England so much that she now makes her own. Her steak and mushroom pies complete with puff...

    First Media

    First Media might just as well have closed down for all the use they are. In the last three weeks or so our service has been disrupted 9 or 10 times including a period of 4.5 days where both the Internet and TV were down. Really poor!

    Standard KTP, 5-Year E-KTP or Lifetime E-KTP?

    I've always found the Immigration Dept and Kanwil to be OK. The Balai Kota is a different story though. As a follow up to the original post I ended up getting the standard five-year KTP but it seems that the Director General of the Registry Office (Kependudukan Catatan Sipil) feels that KITAP...

    Almost 60% of Muslim Teachers Intolerant, Hold Radical Views

    Worrying statistics revealed in a Jakarta Globe article today following a survey carried out by a state Islamic university. https://jakartaglobe.id/news/nearly-6-in-10-indonesian-muslim-teachers-intolerant-many-vilify-modern-science-survey/

    Standard KTP, 5-Year E-KTP or Lifetime E-KTP?

    I collected my second (or extended) KITAP last week and headed off to my local Dinas Pendudukan Catatan Sipil to process a new identity card. I was under the impression that because this KITAP is a lifelong one that I would be given a lifelong E-KTP, so I was a bit surprised when the official...

    OK, thanks Harry. Nice to know I'm not the only one to do it that way.

    2nd Kitap renewal at Tangerang Immigratio

    As part of my KITAP extension process I went to Kuningan this afternoon to pick up the 'decision' letter and then raced to my local immigration office. I handed over the letter and expected to have to head upstairs to pay the 12jt but the officer said that I should pay at a bank, any bank, and...

    Do you guys use a Kodi box?

    I used to use Kodi but it proved to be a really frustrating experience. If it's streaming TV and video on demand that you're after I would check out IPTV. You can use it via an Android box, some smart TVs, a firestick, tablet, mobile phone and other devices.

    Bali expat confronts moped riders on footpath.Vid.

    I used to do this on a daily basis a few years ago. Back in around 2009 I had a daily one-kilometre walk to a busway terminal in East Jakarta and two or three times a week the road would be congested and so the motorbikes would take to the fairly narrow pavement. Their assumption was that I was...

    Falling out of love with Indonesia.

    Coincidentally I have begun thinking about my future in Indonesia too. I've been here for 20 years and am currently renewing my KITAP. I'm not sure if it's thoughts of a lifetime KITAP that have triggered the thoughts about the future but this is the first time that I have questioned whether I...

    Data registration for pre-paid phone SIM cards

    I use Indosat's Mentari package and tried registering via SMS late last year but couldn't. When I visited their local office they told me that foreigners aren't able to register via SMS but instead must bring their KK and KTP to their office. They then handed me a leaflet that backed this up and...

    YOU shall not pass.

    Back in the 1990s I used to spend the occasional weekend with friends who had a Dutch colonial house in Batu city centre. The only problem was that after 4pm a night market would set up in the street outside and cars couldn't get in or out. You had to find a parking space, walk to the property...

    2nd Kitap renewal at Tangerang Immigratio

    Thanks for replying Anglian but I think we're talking about different things. The E-KTP you mention is indeed an embarrassing fiasco and my local office told me back in 2016 not to even bother trying to upgrade my standard foreigner's KTP to the E-version until I renew my KITAP this October. I...

    2nd Kitap renewal at Tangerang Immigratio

    I have to renew my KITAP later this year so thanks for the info. While we're on the subject, can anyone tell me about E-KITAP? How does it differ from the old method?
