ITAS renewal
No, in the primary Immigration law UU6 2011 it says this; According to point (3) it can only be maximum 2 years for KITAP. I suspect that when they wrote this law they never thought there would be a 5 and 10 year KITAS.- Brian86

Election fraud
Very insightful @atlantis So if they already received 100,000 from one candidate and then the opposition offers them 150,000, what do they do? Turn it down? Take both and vote for the 150 candidate?- Brian86

ITAS renewal
KITAS always has active MERP, it's a requirement of the primary immigration law (No. 6 Tahun 2011, specifically Pasal 64). According to the same section, KITAP can only be 2 year MERP, though in practice is often interpreted as 2 years max and a 1 year to be issued to make up 2+2+1 for a 5 year...- Brian86

New customs regulation, only 5kg of processed food allowed per person?
It's not 15 USD, it's 150,000 IDR which is currently less than 10 USD. The amounts reported (219,466 people, Rp32,919,900,000) divide perfectly by 150,000.- Brian86

ITAS renewal
He is trying to cancel your visa and create a new one, this is not required. Insist that you want him to process an extension rather than a new visa. An agent is not required either, just a company representative, typically the HR person, who can go directly to the local immigration office and...- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
True, it's possible, but I've never heard of someone getting 1 year for their first on KITAP. Usually 2+2+1. Just an encouragement for him to double check, and, if it's for 1 year, go with 2 next time.- Brian86

Lifetime Kitap processing time
The re-entry permit (MERP) should be for 2 years, if you just recently got the KITAP the MERP should expire in 2026. As for your passport, process a new one at your embassy. When you have the new one, bring the new and old to Imigrasi and they will process a transfer. There is no fee. If you...- Brian86

KITAP - The "Unlimited" One
Easily. They have not provided him the opportunity to work by providing him a work permit. But getting out of it is all he can get, there will be no compensation, and since he never had a work permit, they are not obligated to pay his return airfare.- Brian86

KITAP - The "Unlimited" One
It is the responsibility of the employer. The "pemohon" applicant for the work permit (RPTKA) and for the KITAS is the employer. The applicant is the one responsible to pay. However, is there any enforcement of this? No, never heard of it happening. And Manpower and Immigration aren't going...- Brian86

Spouse sponsered kitap work
The regulation only concerns E31B. E31A is for WNA married to WNI, and there is no larangan in the regulation you showed previously (Kepmenkumham No. M.HH-01.GR.01.04 Tahun 2023), it is not mentioned in that regulation at all. E31B is for WNA married to WNA, and it does have larangan mentioned...- Brian86

What is the origin of "k" for [ʔ]?
I've heard bakso many times both ways, but never heard Rakyat with a glottal. Example, go straight to the end at 1:46:- Brian86

What is the origin of "k" for [ʔ]?
Those are not glottals, they are unreleased, unaspirated K. It's easy to miss in the final position, but if you are pronouncing "ba'so" and "ra'yat" it should be quite noticeably "aneh" to native speakers (although I wouldn't be surprised to learn of some region where it's normal).- Brian86

What is the origin of "k" for [ʔ]?
You have not given any example of K being used to represent a glottal stop sound, do you have one? I did edit my post and you responded quickly, so maybe re-read the clarification I added. Bakso, rakyat, tidak, cicak, baik, are all unreleased, unaspirated K, not glottal stop. "Saat" which...- Brian86

What is the origin of "k" for [ʔ]?
It really is a K. Sometimes I do think people use a glottal stop, but most often it's an unaspirated, unreleased K, which sounds very similar. You can really hear that it's a K on the end of a word when you change a verb with K ending to a noun by adding -an. Like "masak" and "masakan", it's...- Brian86
