    Streaming and VPNs

    OK, thanks for that steveandpenny. Coincidentally the IPTV provider contacted me to say that for the moment the system was working better without a VPN and sure enough last night it worked almost perfectly. Not sure how long it will last as it all seems very temperamental and other factors...

    Streaming and VPNs

    Thanks Jaime, but I've tried VPN servers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Middle East, India and a few others. I'm beginning to think the problem is down to the long hops between France (where the IPTV servers are based) and Jakarta but then why did I get a month or so when the streams were...

    Streaming and VPNs

    Hi fellas. There have been a few threads on here on related topics so I thought I'd ask for help. A couple of months ago I signed up to an IPTV package and initially experienced a lot of buffering where presumably my ISP was throttling my signal. So I signed up to 3-year VPN package with Nord...

    Rubber stamp Forgery

    A few years ago I seriously considered forging a prenuptial agreement but had second thoughts after discovering that it could mean up to six years in prison. Pasal 263 ayat 1 “Barang siapa membuat surat palsu atau memalsukan surat, yang dapat menerbitkan suatu hak, sesuatu perjanjian atau...

    What else, Rats again

    You could try the polite approach first If that doesn't work, try mengkudu. apparently rats don't like the smell.

    Prenup and post-nuptial agreements

    Hi Dafluff. At the time I spoke to various notaries we didn't go into intricate detail about the reasons why a postnup was necessary to protect my wife's inheritance but it seemed like the safest thing to do. I was just reading that although UU Perkawinan 1974 (the Marriage Law) replaced KUHP BW...

    Prenup and post-nuptial agreements

    The point that the three notaries were making was that in their opinion pasal 35-37 of UU Perkawinan 1974 doesn't apply for Westerners. When it comes to family and marriage law Europeans/Westerners are subject to KUH Perdata (burgerlijk wetboek). "Bagi mereka yang dulunya secara histories...

    Prenup and post-nuptial agreements

    We completed the postnup process several weeks ago including registering it with the same KUA that recorded our marriage 17 years earlier. I don't want to share the wording of our agreement because each couple's requirements are different and personal however suffice to say that it doesn't...

    Prenup and post-nuptial agreements

    Not all notaries would agree with you I'm afraid Dafluff. I've asked about this over the years because my wife's father is a quite successful businessman now in his eighties and I wouldn't want my wife to miss out on her right to inherit simply because I'm a WNA. Over the last couple of years I...

    Tourist Admission Fees for Kitas/Kitap holders

    Having started this thread I should give some feedback about what actually happened ticketwise. From memory we visited eight places that required tickets, six of which seemed to impose higher admission fees for foreigners. However, once my wife told them that I was her husband or I showed my KTP...

    Package from EU to Indonesia

    If you're looking for curcumin tablets, you can buy them here in Indonesia. You should of course check this yourself but I believe "kapsul temulawak" is what you should ask for.

    Tourist Admission Fees for Kitas/Kitap holders

    The "locals discount" line might work in some places but here in Indonesia the majority of tourists are young backpackers who are price sensitive. Plus, many tourist sites are simply not worth the usual foreigner tariff of Rp100,000- Rp250,000. Instead of tourists going back to their respective...

    Tourist Admission Fees for Kitas/Kitap holders

    Yeah, I've managed to pay the domestic ticket price in some places but I have also sat outside tourist attractions on a number of occasions leaving my wife to walk around alone, but I was hoping that the government had made a distinction between foreign tourists and foreigners living and paying...

    Tourist Admission Fees for Kitas/Kitap holders

    We're hoping to go to Sulawesi next week for a holiday and while reading about the various tourist sites I was reminded of the discriminative admission prices that can see a foreigner paying up to ten times more than a local for an entry ticket. So, what's the deal for KITAS and KITAP holders...

    UK General Election

    Good luck to her. I lost my right to vote years ago but I was proud of my fellow Brits (well, the English and Welsh anyway) for voting to leave the EU. Immigration levels are frighteningly high with last year's net migration figure a record high of over 600,000. Brexit won't help much either...

    Post-Nuptial-Advice

    I have also read the blogs of a few notaries and they worry that if a 'post' marriage agreement can be made effective from the beginning of the marriage this will create a legal nightmare. They would prefer that the agreement is only effective from the date it is made. They are also concerned...

    Indonesian Property Ownership Options for Foreigners

    Hi Centurion, where did you hear this? I'm curious to know how things are progressing.

    Post-Nuptial-Advice

    I asked a notary yesterday what the latest news on this situation was but she wasn't particularly optimistic. She said that the Constitutional Court sometimes makes rulings without enough expert knowledge in the specific field of law being debated. She gave an example of one judgement by the...

    KTP Orang Asing compulsory?

    I've been trying to convert my KTP into an E-KTP this last week here in East Jakarta. My local kelurahan told me I should head to Slipi where Jakarta's main Kantor Catatan Sipil is. However, once there they told me that I should try the East Jakarta office in Rawamangun, adding that I didn't...

    Prenup and post-nuptial agreements

    Thanks for the info Scubagirl. Not sure how BPN (the Land Agency) can refuse to accept the Constitutional Court's decision but at least the Catatan Sipil (Civil Registry Office) says it is preparing to implement the decision. We recently bought a plot of land which we had planned to give...
