    Some New Immigration Fees

    Yes , once you've paid the fees for the unlimited Kitap and Merp there are no more fees only the 5 year report which at his point is free but I wouldn't be surprised to see a fee imposed on it in the future .

    Some New Immigration Fees

    Yes you definitely need a sponsor either way . If you can do the application yourself using the agent as your sponsor would be up to the Immigration office but I doubt it . The agent/sponsor would more than likely not agree to it without you paying them a fee and probably notify the office that...

    Some New Immigration Fees

    If your on an Agent sponsored Kitas your only choice is to pay them unless you have an Indonesian spouse/wife . You should then be able to change to Spouse Sponsored Kitas . The Immigration Departments web site shows a list of the required documents . If your close to the Immigration office you...

    Some New Immigration Fees

    Only stuck if they are your sponsor . I used one for the initial vitas/kitas then did the extension and conversion to kitap myself . Saved near 35juta on what they would have charged .

    Some New Immigration Fees

    Believe it . Agents are only there for their benefit , the more they can get from the client without question the more they are laughing at them . You are not obliged to use the agent again unless they are your sponsor for the Kitas . If they are your stuck with them and there fees . If not and...

    Unlimited KITAP

    Totally agree . But like everything in Indonesia , you want you pay . Was told I was entitled to local prices /services when I got my Kitap , Ktp and KK but still and I know I'll always will be treated and charged as a tourist.

    Unlimited KITAP

    From what I understand the unlimited kitap and merp are for life , they don't expire , jangka waktu yang tidak terbatas. The 8 juta merp is for life going by the new fee schedule . You still have to report to immigration every 5 years but there are no more fees . Not sure if the Merp is...

    Lets hope so . Just looked at the fee schedule again . It's back to the original . No mention of the 10 year Kitap extension now and the unlimited Kitap back to 10,200,000rp . Merp still the same , 2 years 1,750,000rp . Becoming a daily chore keeping up with the changes .

    Australian Aged Pension and the 2 year portability rule.

    Will do , I'll contact the Australian consulate here in Java Timur / Surabaya as well . The citizenship business is a bit of a scare tactic I think , they'll let you renew your Australian passport here through the Australian Consulate without any mention of citizenship yet they declare you a non...

    Australian Aged Pension and the 2 year portability rule.

    Yes that's why I put my original post up . Sounds a bit suspect to me if the rule is so rigid . Yes you loose the card and a lot of other benefits from what's on there web sites . Seems to be a lot of expats throughout S/East Asia in the same boat as me . Some already back in Australia doing the...
