    SIM Internasional (International Driving License)

    It appears the law in Georgia allows the indefinite use of a foreign license if you have not established residency in Georgia. If you become a Georgia resident, you have 30 days to get a Georgia license, which is what the officers you spoke with were probably thinking of...

    SIM Internasional (International Driving License)

    How long will you visit the USA and what states? The laws vary from state to state, but most allow you to use a foreign license in the US for up to a 3 month US visit, or an IDP with foreign license for up to 1 year. One potential problem is the state laws sometimes stipulate that the...

    Spouse sponsered kitap work

    E31B is a spouse kitas for the WNA spouse of a WNA visa holder (worker, investor, student, etc). Not a WNA spouse of a WNI, which is what this whole thread is about. "Penyatuan keluarga bagi orang asing yang menggabungkan diri dengan suami atau istri pemegang izin tinggal terbatas atau izin...

    Spouse sponsered kitap work

    Your reference to UU No. 6 2011 is the same one I've been referring to, and proves my point. I don't understand what you're trying to say about it? As for the above, you are looking at the wrong visa type. That is a spouse visa for two WNA, it's saying that Mister Investor can get a KITAS for...

    KITAP automatically cancelled after 1y/365 days abroad ?

    That's a rather pessimistic view that is supported neither by law nor anecdotal evidence. It is not a cancellation that happens automatically (such as an expiration), and thus @Edd can attempt to enter with it and hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst (tourist visa).

    KITAP automatically cancelled after 1y/365 days abroad ?

    The law says that it "may be cancelled" (boleh dibatalkan) after one year abroad, different language is used when it is an automatic or always to be enforced. And I have heard a couple anecdotes of it not being canceled. It seems to be a regulation that is selectively enforced if they are...

    Foreign Komisaris

    As I have stated above, I have not seen any law that this violates, but I also would not be surprised to encounter objections, even without a law to support them. Moreover, the manpower law is only written for companies, it has no enforcement upon individuals. If you proceed as the company...

    Foreign Komisaris

    A komisaris can be a TKA, but it is not a requirement. The exception for those with company shares (minimum 10M in latest immigration law) is one, but not necessarily the only one. The definition of TKA is clearly (and only) defined in Pasal 1 ayat 1 (article 1 paragraph 1), and does not apply...

    Foreign Komisaris

    I appreciate the desire to keep it practical and helpful. @Hermes has been vague in his questions so I'm not clear the exact situation he's addressing. I would not fear working informally on a spouse visa, but I would be nervous about being a salaried komisaris on a spouse visa, although I...

    Foreign Komisaris

    That is no longer a valid law, see how it says "dicabut" in the right column: https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/145987/permenaker-no-16-tahun-2015 The current law which has replaced it is the No. 8 tahun 2021 I linked above. That former law is more confusing, because like No. 8 2021 it says...

    Foreign Komisaris

    RPTKA (izin kerja) is only required for Tenaga Kerja Asing, which is defined as those who have a visa for purpose of work. Permenaker No. 8 th 2021, Pasal 1 ayat 1. Anyone else is not required to have RPTKA. If they visit with a tourist visa and are deemed to have worked, they will be...

    Credit card for foreigner

    This is a helpful site to compare gold versus US stock market: https://www.longtermtrends.net/stocks-vs-gold-comparison/ You can drag the starting date and see that over the past few decades there are only a few years that you could have bought gold and had it outperform the S&P to the present...

    KITAS to KITAP? extensions required for ex WNI

    Incorrect. When filing for KITAP it is an "alih status" and when the KITAP is issued it is fully in effect and the KITAS in no longer valid.

    KITAS to KITAP? extensions required for ex WNI

    I see @luckyluke is ex-WNI, but for the benefit of others reading, those on a working KITAS can get KITAP after 3 years. This law can be found in UU No. 6 Tahun 2011, Pasal 60. After 3 years means you will need to start the 4th KITAS, but as soon as the 4th KITAS is issued you are eligible to...

    Spouse sponsered kitap work

    Yes, I have seen many of them. It is certainly a grey area in practice, and yet I see no greyness or contradiction in the law (if there is, please show me). But the myth persists.
