    Child-sponsored KITAS

    Hey all. Quick question that I cannot seem to find the answer to. My children are both dual citizens (Indonesia and U.S.) and are ages 7 and 3. Can they be my KITAS sponsor? Thanks!

    With Vacation Done, We Decided to Return to Indo

    That seems like a solid idea, especially with your daughter graduating and likely becoming more independent. We debated selling the house and buying land just to mitigate against a potential property boom that would price us out of the market, but we got our house brand-new at an awesome...

    With Vacation Done, We Decided to Return to Indo

    Thanks all! We are super-excited to return. It's strange how much of a 180-degree turn I made since our last trip. I was miserable on the first one (mostly culture shock and the stress if just launching my online business), but now I was the driving force on returning. :). @waarmstrong...

    Do Indonesians say thank you less than others?

    I've notice orang sunda are pretty polite. The only thing that gets me is when I say "hatur nuhun" I get more chuckles and gaping mouths than a "sami-sami." They are amazed at the bule sunda. lol

    Indonesian Driving Licence?

    When I was in Tasik 6 years ago, they never allowed me to take the test. They just rattled of Rp. 250,000, took my picture, and gave me a license. I still debate whether their computers even work lol. That may have changed now, as I heard there are new procedures for testing, but that could all...

    Mortgage in Indo

    Thanks for all the input. We decided we will just rent and save 1 to 2 billion and either buy a home cash or property and build. In Tasik, that can get you a great house with all the western amenities we prefer in the kitchen and bathroom :).

    With Vacation Done, We Decided to Return to Indo

    So, My family and I just got back a few days ago from our three-week vacation. We checked out Bandung, Bali, and My wife's hometown (Tasikmalaya) for a week each and one day in Jakarta. We did this as an exploratory look into whether we want to return. Well, after coming back home and getting...

    First Class Train

    When I was in Indo on vacation last month, we did the Bandung-Tasik route on Argo Willis Executif. I saw the ad for this, and I would definitely ride it for that route, though I doubt they will offer it on a 3-hour ride. Otherwise, I'll just take a plane.

    BlueBird GoldBird CC Authorization

    Hey All, My family and I are counting down the days till our arrival for a 3-week vacation in Bandung, Bali, and Tasik, which will double as a trip to see if our desire to move back is a legit possibility for us. We need transport from the airport to our Airbnb in Bandung, so we opted for...

    Staying Above Board This Time

    Thanks for the tip. I thought I read somewhere you can even do the NPWP online too. Is that true?

    Staying Above Board This Time

    OK, I tried searching for this, but the search feature isn't the greatest, so I will just ask it. Apologies if this has been asked a bazillion times. Feel free to just drop links to other conversations if there are relevant ones :). Last time my wife, who's an Indo citizen, and I were in Indo...

    It's Official! We're Coming Back

    @Anglian Yes, that is something weighing heavily on our minds. We have a few issues, though. First, affording the home here and in Indo would leave us tight, thus negating one of the benefits of living in Indo. Second, we're thinking about renting it out, but we live in a deed-restricted...

    It's Official! We're Coming Back

    Hey all, sorry for being gone -- things have been crazy! My wife and I decided to first explore the areas before making the jump. So we pushed our tickets up to June and we will only be in the country for three weeks while we sort out exactly where we want to live. We first thought Bandung...

    Visit Visa to ITAS or ITAS in U.S.?

    Hey All, I searched first to see if this was covered and found nothing -- sorry if I just missed it. We are trying to figure out if we should get my ITAS here in the U.S. from the Consular before leaving for Indo or if we should get my Visit Visa here and convert it in Indo. I just remember...

    From the OTHER Forum

    @kratos Oddly enough, Ridwan Kamil is actually my cousin... well, my wife's cousin. He's her dad's sister's son. He's part of the reason we chose to land in Bandung -- not to use his name to make things easier, but to avoid some of the corruption. On topic, though, last I knew, he had a lot of...

    It's Official! We're Coming Back

    @Davita The vacation part was only if things don't go as planned before we leave. If everything goes according to plan by the time we leave, it will be a permanent move. The ones that can break it to just being a vacation include if the house doesn't sell and if I cannot find enough freelance...

    @El_Goretto Yup, it's going to be a wild and crazy seven months of preparation, and things will only get wilder once we land :).
