One question regarding buying Indonesian stocks: I tried to get a BCA Sekuritas account for buying stocks. The employees of BCA showed me that the process to open that account is very simple for WNI customers that already have a bank account and the app. But for WNA the process (at least in my...- make_batik_great_again

As far as I know, in this forum some members use Interactive Brokers already for quite a long time. I also asked Gemini (I know the information that AI gives is not always correct) and referring to that response it is allowed in Indonesia ( no guarantee that this information is correct, I did...- make_batik_great_again

For the first time exchange rate EUR/IDR reached 1:20,000 now. 😨 For companies which depend on imports from the EU this is probably not a good development. For exporting companies to Europe (and also for tourists from Europe) pretty fine, of course.- make_batik_great_again

Let’s wait for the outcome of the investigation, as the root cause has not yet been clearly established. Based on current information, this appears to be an isolated case rather than a system-wide issue. Personally, I would prefer to use brokers affiliated with large, well-known banks, such as...- make_batik_great_again

Correct me please if I am wrong: The Jiwasraya, Asabri, and Bumiputra cases were serious corruption scandals, but they involved state-owned insurance entities rather than typical publicly listed operating companies. These events point to governance weaknesses in specific institutions, not to...- make_batik_great_again

Considering getting a place in Lombok
About your plan to apply for the Indonesian citizenship: Do you already know which requirements there are in your case? I mean you just mentioned in passing although it is a big decission and not so easy to do it. As far as I know (at least in all cases I heard of), you'll need to give up your...- make_batik_great_again

Does anyone have a recommendation which bank or broker to use for investing in Indonesian stocks (saham)? A broker with not too high fees and spreads and with a customer-friendly user interface?- make_batik_great_again

Work KITAS and Indonesian PT
Thank you for the explanation and the example. I only wonder what exactly counts as a "small business". Just as an example: Would a CV still count as a small business? At least, it does not count as a legal entity as far as I know. Or does the revenue determine whether or not it is still a...- make_batik_great_again

I hope it is okay if I post this question here since it is connected to the topic here. I don´t want to open a new thread for this question if there is a thread that has a very similar topic: The IMTA for foreigners costs 1,200 USD per year at the moment. Does anyone here have experience or...- make_batik_great_again

My experience is very different. On Lombok, you can find plenty of BPR in Mataram. I went to a few, all were very professional. Well-dressed, well-informed, friendly. Interest rate (deposito) was 6 to 6.5% p.a. which is in line with LPS regulation for BPR and more than you can get at Jenius, Sea...- make_batik_great_again

Every now and then we discussed BPR banks here. What do you think about their stability? Recent news do not sound so good: https://m.antaranews.com/berita/4024365/ojk-sebut-pemangkasan-bpr-diarahkan-untuk-menyehatkannya...- make_batik_great_again

Only to avoid people saying „yeah, now suddenly you claim to have invested into Shell in the crisis when the stock price was super-low“, the quotation is my comment from 2020 😁- make_batik_great_again

Shell is the biggest position in my portfolio since I was convinced that the future of oil and gas was not that bad as many thought during the pandemic. I invested directly after the dividend cut in 2020 and then a few months later again. Now Shell is at an all-time high...I am really happy to...- make_batik_great_again

Thanks for the information regarding those banks in Singapore. Not telling the bank in the home country could have disadvantages...at least if you are from Germany since they will automatically deduct German taxes on capital gains if you cannot prove that you live and that you are taxable in...- make_batik_great_again

Thank you. Yes, I have a broker in my home country. I had two. But one canceled my account last year because they changed their policy and do not accept customers from outside the EU anymore. Since you never know if the other broker might changes his mind as well, I want to be prepared and...- make_batik_great_again

Exactly, I tried that (call up the website by mobile phone). The mobile phone was also not connected to my router, I used the mobile network - but the warning still shows up. The only thing that the devices have in common is my google account. But I doubt that the google account can lead to such...- make_batik_great_again
