    Didn't even think about that part.

    Please, advice about buying something from USA? terimakasi

    Expect at least 35% in import taxes. Maybe more. I only imported twice here because of the high import taxes plus they don't go by any invoice you provide, they look the item up on the Internet so even if you got a great buy, you get to pay taxes on the highest price they can find. On top of...

    Affidavit

    No so often that we get to hear the good news. I have mostly good things to say over all about my experiences here with government offices as well. Have dealt with a lot worse and some in my own country.

    Are there any Freight Forwarder services you recommend?

    Yes, yes you are. Most items that you would want to purchase are in the 30% plus range. Customs will get the value from the internet and doesn't care how much the invoice says you paid. It only took importing 3 items for me to learn not to do it.

    DIY - Renew KITAS

    Foreigners are an easy target. Locals almost never get into any trouble so it's pretty much risk free for them.

    Not uncommon here unfortunately.

    DIY - Renew KITAS

    I'm not sure why they chose to make me jump through all the hoops and wait a week. Maybe they thought I would request expedited service ($$) , maybe they felt powerful that day or maybe it's just the rules and you have been lucky. It was harder paperwork wise to renew my KTP (is this the right...

    DIY - Renew KITAS

    KTP then? Mine expired after 5 years and the new one does as well in another 5 years. It used to look just like an Indonesian's card but now they are pink or light red according to your eyesight for a foreigner. Looks like this.

    DIY - Renew KITAS

    Not for some things. I was 3 days late renewing my NIK because of Immigration being late on my KITAP. I had given them over a month but... Had to start all over again with paper work for my NIK like I had never had one before and got a slap on the wrist and had to fill out a letter that I was...

    Garden visitors

    My SIL had a cobra get into her house shortly after they put a new highway in close by. I had no idea they were here. If I had seen that, I would have likely burned the house down.

    Any experience buying or using a electric wheelchair, kursi roda listrik please? Terimakasi

    The may be more of something else but that doesn't make the other non newsworthy. 274 cases of possible property loss or loss of life in one year hardly seems like click bait.

    That really narrows down the field here.

    I wonder what jstar would have to say. That is a lot of fires from a single source.

    New laws- Government control

    This I would believe (as a matter of fact I think it's the number that I bet you were actually hearing) but seeing as how the volume doubles for every 3 db, even 75 db is no competition to the 120 db you have claimed in the past. Also the speakers are at least 3 or 4 meters up so your 102-107 db...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    These are for sale. I know of plenty for sale. Show me completed sales. I have one that I can't sell and the only way it will sell is when it qualities for dealer buy back in 2 months as long as they follow the contract.

    Electric motor scooters

    I never said that. You are putting words in my mouth. I only said a malfunctioning Chinese scooter battery is a fire hazard and repeated the recommendations of fire departments, HOA and insurance companies around the world on charging EVs and scooters. You don't have to agree but don't blame me...

    Electric motor scooters

    Or Scottish slang for something else. If an extreme fire hazard is fear, uncertainly and doubt, I guess I'm the man. 30 years as an electrical engineer should buy me an opinion. I would much rather give some negative sounding advice than have someone lose their house or worse from a defective...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I don't believe those resell number numbers for Indonesia. I have never heard of friend or assosciate successfully selling an EV at any price and I know quite a few that want to sell. Not a single one. They can give as long a warranty as they want, doesn't mean it will last that long. Like the...
