    Custom values for bringing phone from outside the country

    Not 100% sure but in the past for items that I have imported, they ignore the invoice and go with the highest price they can find on the internet. But maybe you will get lucky that day and the officer will just let it slide in under the $500 allowance even if it is, in fact, worth more.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    ISIS is not a government, The cartels do what they want in Mexico but that doesn't make them the government. Apples and oranges. That's it. I'm done with this. You use scare tactics to lump all Muslims into one dangerous group because of the actions of a few outliers.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    A very extremist group and still a drop in the bucket from all the names that pantaieme gave. Outside of the governments reach people will do what they want. You can't lump all Muslims in the same group.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I said I wan't going to get into with you again but you are talking about 20 and 30 years ago, not today. You are giving out old information as if it were still relevent.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I wouldn't say many have it in practice. More like a few and most of them are in areas not controlled by the government. And as stated earlier if they follow the rules exactly, you need 2 men or 4 women to have witnessed the "crime". What are the odds of that? Seeing them enter into the same...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    And practically none of them actually use it as punishment. Here is the current status of stoning laws and practice in each country: Afghanistan: Stoning has been reinstated as a form of punishment by the Taliban since their return to power in August 2021. In 2024, the Taliban leader publicly...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I'm not going to get into another one with you but even if they fully followed old school Shariah law there would need to be 2 male or 4 female witnesses that saw the act in progress. If you didn't have that, you didn't have a case and you could be punished for making accusations that you can't...

    Looks like you choose PNBP on your banking app to pay? Is that right?

    ITAS to ITAP Sponsored by Indonesian Spouse , how I did it

    Thanks Marcus. That pulled up a billing invoice. I will wait to pay just to see if they email an invoice. Still shows I have 6+ days.

    ITAS to ITAP Sponsored by Indonesian Spouse , how I did it

    Thanks for the info. Right now it just says "awaiting payment". I will give it a day or so and see what happens. If I don't get an email by then I make a trip to immigration. I'm hoping it's just a weekend thing. I will let everyone know what happens.

    Been a few hours and haven't received any email. Maybe because it's the weekend? Them getting your money should be the easiest part to accomplish on their end.

    ITAS to ITAP Sponsored by Indonesian Spouse , how I did it

    After a successful application do they send payment instructions to the email on file? I thought it would appear on the screen after acceptance or have a link to it. So far no email on how to pay. How long before you received the mail if that is what I am waiting for? Thanks.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    If you are talking about Bonnie Blue, she was given a $20 fine for driving without al license and deported. Nothing was ever said about this law in her case. Would have ben easy to prove but they let her walk. It would appear that foreigners have nothing to worry about with this law.

    W What do you think I am exaggerating? Google will back up that is her claim and she has the video for sale if you want to see how she pulled it off. Or if you meant stretching other things, then yes I would imagine so.

    ⚠️ Urgent Immigration Advice Needed: Expired MERP and Return to Indonesia with KITAP

    Mainly because your re-entry permit is expired and you signed a declaration that "essentially stated that my KITAP will automatically expire/be cancelled if I do not renew my MERP before re-entering Indonesia." All it takes is one person who feels like they have a little power to screw it up no...

    ⚠️ Urgent Immigration Advice Needed: Expired MERP and Return to Indonesia with KITAP

    I get where you are coming from and it sucks to be in that position but you will surely lose more by trying to take the flight, getting denied entry and then having to pay for a new ticket again. I really don't think this story has an ending that will make anyone but Indonesian Immigration...
