Spouse sponsered kitap work
Thank you for pointing me to that, however that post does not reference any laws. It does reference an earlier post (https://www.expatindo.org/community/threads/wna-wife-sponsored-kitap-working-without-imta-in-pma.5089/page-3#post-66411) which mentions some laws. Let's look at those; Kemnaker...- Brian86

Spouse sponsered kitap work
Can you show me a law which says that all WNA need a work permit in order to work? Immigration law says that those on spousal visas are allowed to work (UU No. 6 2011, Pasal 61), so they are not violating immigration law. Manpower law says that all WNA on working visas must have RPTKA work...- Brian86

Ranked: The Top Economies in the World (1980‒2075)
Nigeria is expected to double their already large population in the next 30 years, becoming tied for 3rd largest in 2050. And Pakistan is expected to surpass Indonesia and become number 5. Those economic numbers are most strongly correlated to population; they would be more interesting to me...- Brian86

Digital Nomad, working for Aussie Company Remotely
Yes, I agree that the practical side of this issue is more complicated as these laws are sometimes not well understood by officials. You asked for a "law reference" and that was all I was addressing. I have observed that many people are familiar with the Pasal 61 reference to working, but...- Brian86

Digital Nomad, working for Aussie Company Remotely
Ketenagakerjaan law does not regulate what individuals may do, only what companies may do. Permenaker No 8 2021 is the most recent, you will note it only contains instructions for what companies may and may not do, and all penalties (sanksi, denda) for violations are toward the company, the...- Brian86

LKPM for PMA companies
I believe their data encompasses more than the tax reports collect, particularly with differentiating foreign investment and imported versus domestic purchases. I agree in preferring the requirement didn't exist, but of all the annoying, excessive bureaucracy in Indonesia, LKPM reporting isn't...- Brian86

LKPM for PMA companies
Of course I would prefer not to report, but it's really not a bother. With a good accounting system it only takes 15 minutes to compile the numbers, enter them, and submit the report. You must have some sort of administrative/accounting staff, no?- Brian86

Need help with KITAS to KITAP conversion!!!
The law is not perfectly clear on this point, it seems to me they should allow it, but if they refuse there is enough ambiguity in the law for them to hide behind. I would go in about 40 days before KITAS expiry and ask to file the KITAP application. If they have a problem with it that gives...- Brian86

Indonesia Second Home Programme - All Retirement Stay Permits Abolished and Existing Holders Scheduled for Expulsion in Case of Non-Compliance
These changes are efforts to implement the immigration law change in 2021: https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/161984/pp-no-48-tahun-2021 That law eliminates the retirement visa and adds the Rumah Kedua visa (Pasal 102, 103). Unless another high level revision is made, I think it is...- Brian86

Latest (Aug 2022) Covid-19 DOMESTIC travel testing requirements.
I encourage everyone to follow the rules correctly. As an anecdote, I have flow several times since the very similar July 17 rules. Not once has my vaccination status, Peduli Lindungi, or eHAC been checked at an airport. My Peduli Lindungi status incorrectly shows Red (I carry the paper vaccine...- Brian86

Musician on spouse kitas
Immigration law very clearly states that spouses of WNI on KITAS may work to fulfill their family needs: UU 6 2011 Manpower law says that all foreign workers must have work permit, but they will not issue them to someone on a spouse visa. There is a conflict here between Immigration and...- Brian86

Investors kitas to kitap
No agent is needed, just patience and several visits to your local immigration office. The requirements are found in Permenkumham No. 29 Tahun 2021 starting at Pasal 192. Pasal 195 has general requirements for all ITAS to ITAP conversions, and Pasal 199-200 are specific for Investors. Pasal...- Brian86

Traveling by plane within a month of recovering from covid
I flew recently from Jakarta to USA and my PCR results were never checked during the whole journey. The only thing said or done was the airline gave everyone checking in a form to sign saying you have a negative test (I forget the exact wording).- Brian86

Moving to Indonesia as foreign employed “contractor”
That's only one niche of "Digital Nomads", it really means any job which can be done from any location with an internet connection. Other common jobs are computer programmers of various sorts or Amazon drop shipper businesses.- Brian86

Regarding the article on this website "Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia: A guide to PLN’s prabayar system"
I can see the logic to that; since the compressor runs continuously the fan in the outdoor unit must run continuously also, whereas the older technology the compressor and outdoor fan cycle on and off many times throughout the day. More fan = more dirty air = more buildup. Indeed there are pros...- Brian86

Regarding the article on this website "Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia: A guide to PLN’s prabayar system"
It will also help to have inverter ACs. Older ACs can only run the compressor at full power or off, so to hold a temperature they must cycle from 50w to 1000w every few minutes, if you have several ACs like this cycle on at the same time, you can easily overload the breaker. Inverter ACs can...- Brian86

Regarding the article on this website "Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia: A guide to PLN’s prabayar system"
LPG is a better choice if you want an instant (tankless) water heater in Indonesia. If you specifically want electric, an electric system using 1000-2000w with an insulated tank would be a better choice. 5500w was the highest that was offered to me, perhaps higher is available on special...- Brian86
