    Dual citizenship, how likely is it?

    It is possible to work if you get a work permit or just do remote working for a foreign company. You can also at some point get an Indonesian passport while giving up your original one. However the problem with giving automatic employment rights to all spouses of Indonesians is that they are...

    Passport renewal.

    I don't think originally life had anything to do with enjoyment. You were born, ate and procreated, and died at some point. Although both food and procreation can provide enjoyment.

    SIM Internasional (International Driving License)

    You don't get a choice. The catatan sipil tells you to get (for example in S Jakarta) separate ones, and that's what you get.

    At my wedding I felt that most guests were paid actors, I had no idea who 95% of the people were. So this seems like a great business opportunity. Some even brought black bags that they could take away the food in

    Why Indonesia...?

    Ironically if they actually go to Western countries and see what life is like they often hate it. Some comments from my wife: no maids, have to do everything yourself; difficult to find food she can eat; people not friendly; can't see family for a long time; everything so automated and no-one to...

    Why Indonesia...?

    Yes, these 3 are the ones I wasn't very happy with. But it's completely different having kids, than having a companion-type relationship like Balifrog does. They are two completely different discussions. In the latter either party can leave if they don't like something without damaging others.

    Why Indonesia...?

    The problem is it's a lot easier to give 100% of not very much rather than 100% of a lot. If you marry someone from a poor background you will end up paying a lot to their family in one way or another, it is just there are always things that come up that need money and you will be the person...

    Hello. What are some things I should know before coming to Jakarta?

    I don't think he lives in a place like Jakarta or Bali where these things can be easily found. And ordering food online seems like it could be a bit risky.
