Go in the with law I posted and ask them if there is still going to be a fee. If so, ask to speak to the head of the office and ask him about that law. If still so; https://inspektorat.baliprov.go.id/saber-pungli/- Brian86

Kitas Renewal and Kitap info.
You can apply for a KITAS extension the day before it expires. Of course it's not a good idea to wait so long in case there is a problem with your documents or their system. To convert from KITAS to KITAP you must file 30+ days before the KITAS expires (Pasal 174...- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
If your husband was able to talk them down that further reinforces that this is not a legitimate fee. Show them UU No. 24 Tahun 2013, Pasal 79A and 95B No fees allowed! An official that tries to charge a fee can be thrown in jail for 6 years and fined 75 million.- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
I haven't reached my lifetime KITAP yet and don't recall seeing an example. If under "masa berlaku" it says "lapor [tanggal]" then I suppose that is fair and falls in line with the UU. Still, it definitley should clearly not be every year as you have previously stated.- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
Yes, still pink KTP-OA, but the law is clear that it should be issued for the same 'masa berlaku' as your stay permit. If your KITAP says "seumur hidup", so should your KTP.- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
The KTP expiration date should match your KITAP expiration, so on first KITAP you should get a KTP with 5 years validity. Then, when you extend you KITAP you get a lifetime KITAP, and your new KTP should be issued for life (just as WNI get). I am skeptical there is actually a local regulation...- Brian86

Protest and Get Deported
There is no law about foreigners joining protests, but UU No 6 Tahun 2011 Pasal 75 gives immigration authorities great leeway to deport foreigners for anything that can be considered disrespectful or disturbing public order. It's the same paragraph used to deport foreigners who post...- Brian86

Coffee
Common Grounds, Tanamera, and Anomali are good chains around Jakarta. There are also dozens more cafes with only one or two locations that are excellent; use google maps around your area.- Brian86

Starlink Internet
That chose a speed test server near your location, but all Starlink connections are routed through Jakarta, so you will show better speeds using a test server in Jakarta. It will also be more representative of your speeds since essentially all websites you're accessing are hosted in Jakarta or...- Brian86

MERP refresher, share your experience
They're really not different. The Bali one is just focused on telling you what the applicant needs to bring. Both will do Formulir 27 and photocopy KITAS, but the form is provided by the immigration office and the photocopy can be done by them as well. It is referenced in Pasal 79(2) and more...- Brian86

MERP refresher, share your experience
Yes, I do not know the official policy on this, but I know that's common and I've never heard of any trouble traveling with both old and new passports. I did that once for most of a year with several entries in that time, then I got my next visa processed with the new passport. Another time I...- Brian86

MERP refresher, share your experience
@Samoerai I'm glad it worked out for you, but for anyone else considering this, this is a "Mutasi Paspor" which requires Formulir 27 and a sponsor letter. I don't know the specific regulation, but here are the requirements listed on a few regional Imigrasi sites; Jogja...- Brian86

Just for fun: in the Olympics, only count Golds, Total Medals, or some combination?
who cares? they each got their respective place in their respective sport. there is no medal for having the most medals. anyone wanting to assess a value beyond that might as well be comparing the superiority of apples versus oranges.- Brian86

The Various Court Cases Against Donald Trump
I will quote Justice Sotomayor's dissent: As was pointed out in oral arguments, and then later decided in the majority opinion, directing the military, including Seal Team 6, is part of his official duties, and not even the motivation for what he commands is permitted to be considered. From the...- Brian86

The Various Court Cases Against Donald Trump
According to the recent Supreme Court ruling, Biden would face no consequences for sending Seal Team 6 to do the job, and they wouldn't miss. Is it really a "both sides" thing? Can you give me some examples on the left?- Brian86

You said you got the "Notifikasi Persetujuan Pemberian ITAS" email, check it for a PDF attachment of your KITAS, every one of those emails I have received had it attached. That's the document you're looking for, they only issue it digitally now. Keep a copy on your phone, and print out a copy...- Brian86
