    Regarding the article on this website "Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia: A guide to PLN’s prabayar system"

    A single 1PK AC can draw about 1000 watts and an electric instant hot water heater typically draws 3000-6000 watts. The electric water heaters with a small internal tank are available in low wattage models about 200-500 watts, but most are 800-1500 watts. 2200 watt will not be enough for even a...

    No KTP-OA if you’re not married to Indonesian

    UU No 23 Tahun 2006 All KITAP holders are required to have KK and KTP.

    First jab done

    Acceptable to whom? You don't need a vaccine to enter the US, I don't believe it's even asked, nor most places within the country.

    enquiry on legal marriage

    That won't happen. Unless they suspect she is being abducted or coerced in some way, she is allowed to travel with whomever she pleases if she has the valid documents (passport and visa). Is there some reason they might suspect you are abducting or coercing her? Please tell me she is 18+...

    enquiry on legal marriage

    Does she have a valid passport? Does she have a valid visa for the destination? If so, why would they care if she is married or not and who she is traveling with?

    2 years KITAS extension

    Thank you, it's so refreshing when people can cite source documents rather than just "my agent said". So PP 31/2013 says KITAS is for up to 2 years, then PP 96/2015 carved out a 5 year exception for KEK. I had not heard of that before. But PP 48/2021 does not appear to be a change to...

    2 years KITAS extension

    Would you mind pointing to the source for that? PP 31/2013 says: and PP 48/2021 modifies that regulation saying:

    enquiry on legal marriage

    Since you are worried about leaving the country and the airport, is your concern about immigration having an issue with your marriage status? If you have had a valid visa as long as you've been in Indonesia they won't care about your formal/informal marriage status.

    2 years KITAS extension

    I was told you can not extend a 1 year kitas with a 2 year kitas; you would need to make a new 2 year kitas which could then be extended 2 years each time. If I am not mistaken, they have even introduced a 5 year kitas in legislation earlier this year, though it may not be implemented yet. I...

    Indonesia to extend mandatory quarantine to 14 days for travellers from some countries.

    That is very interesting. Vaccine documents vary from country to country and fakes have already been widely circulated, I hope that doesn't become a problem for them. However, I see that they're still requiring a 7 day quarantine even for these vaccinated travelers. If Indonesia attempts this...

    Can foreigners get gov's Chinese vaccines in Indo?

    @Banana72 https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/covid-19-care-uninsured-individuals/index.html There is more on that page about contacting the provider to make sure the government is billed and what to do if you receive a bill.

    Quarantine Hotels with balconies or open windows

    Is it? I saw the recommendation letter for such, but have been watching for implementation in a new Surat Edaran, but have not seen that come out yet.

    Indonesia to extend mandatory quarantine to 14 days for travellers from some countries.

    The above letter is a recommendation for what the next Surat Edaran should contain, and until that Surat Edaran comes out the rules have not changed. The next Surat Edaran may contain the exact recommended rules described above, or there may be changes.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    That's right and an extremely important difference. 4% hospitalized doesn't at all mean it was 96% effective at preventing hospitalization, it's much worse than that. If there had been a control group and 10% of them had been hospitalized, that would make the vaccine 60% effective at...

    Indonesian Term Deposits

    I know at BNI I can do a Deposito of IDR or USD, or several other currencies, but the interest rates are vastly different. IDR is about 3.25% now and USD is 0.3%. That difference is commensurate with the risk in currency fluctuations. Minimum is 10 million rupiah or 1000 USD, so you have...

    Are you ready for Jokowi-Prabowo 2024?

    This is a completely sincere question; why? I get the impression he's doing a good job, but admit I haven't followed RI politics well enough to feel I can back up a that claim. I'm also surrounded by WNI that seem to mostly dislike him. So, I'm curious what things you would point to in making...

    Covid 19 "jabs" for kitas/kitap holders ?

    That says you must first register with Kementrian Kesehatan, and doesn't mention Vaksin Mandiri / Gontong Royong or the vaccine given. Is it possible that may simply be a part of the national vaccine program with the Sinovac vaccine? My understanding, perhaps wrong, is that other vaccines like...

    Covid 19 "jabs" for kitas/kitap holders ?

    Has anyone seen indication that the Vaksin Mandiri / Vaksin Gontong Royong may include private hospitals offering paid vaccinations?

    Bank recommendations

    I would like to bring this back up with some new information; TransferWise now allows for transfers of IDR out of Indonesia from Indonesian banks as well as OVO, Dana, and GoPay: https://transferwise.com/help/articles/2932330/idr-transfers#h_01EP4RPHCWT2S5BJ9Z5BQMAPGX
