    Do Indonesian hospitals keep citizens until they pay their bill?

    Saved a friend 150mill rupiah (can anyone help how many USD is this amount now?) from this one. He was talking to this girl, they've met. then suddenly she called saying that she needed a surgery bla bla bla and it would be around 150mill. Little did she know, he and I had been platonic...

    my husband has a postpaid service, yeah, we had to physically go to the provider's office. Didn't manage to get it online but we really need it due the traveling he had to do that time.

    Wife divorced me in secret. How to prove it?

    Sorry to just butt in. Had to change computer,moving house, etc. In case of muslim marriage in Indonesia, this happened to one of my sisters ya back in early 2000 though I doubt anything change now. Anyway, you can apply for divorce yourself without her consent. Get a lawyer in Indonesia...

    Finally

    For first ITAP, it should not take long. Around a month or two. Your second ITAP is going to take a while. Usually around 3 months with constant nagging to the immigration office's call centre.

    Info request regarding Flood areas (esp. around Kelapa Gading and Gading Griya Lestari) in North Jakarta

    Hey OP, are you planning to move to Kelapa Gading? We used to live in one of those apartments in Kelapa Gading from 2008-2011 (we stayed in Gading Mediterania apartments, next to it they have landed housing) and run a shop in Gading Nias in 2015 while living in Rawamangun area. If I look at...

    Moved to Bekasi

    We are and we know plenty others. Not members of the group, I'm afraid. If you're Dutch, we have a small gathering now and again.

    Looking for a good Indonesian girl.

    Ok. This is from an old Indonesian woman who had dated many foreigners (all colours, you name it, I had it) before settling down. 1. Indonesian girls are wild in the sense that you have to be ready with the emotional rollercoaster coming from her side, if you're lucky, IF! You might even find...

    Looking for a good Indonesian girl.

    My husband started that way, too. Before we met, that is. I do know a couple who had been together for 15 years now and she was one of the bar maids there. Guess he was one of the lucky bunch.

    Question for fellow teachers... re: not being allowed to eat lunch offsite

    My husband is only a part timer that goes there twice a week and once a week in other school. So, I guess the school makes sure to pack up his schedule. When he used to be a full-timer, he would go out to grab a bite at a nearby mall. He had at least one period off everyday that he can use to...

    The Heart Thing

    Yep. we had instances where BPJS were our saviour. Our son was diagnosed with ADHD; treatment and therapy and counselling (and medicines that came with it) is full BPJS. My sister tore her knee ligament in 3 places: 2 nasty knee surgery plus painkillers plus therapy for 3 years until she fully...

    Question for fellow teachers... re: not being allowed to eat lunch offsite

    according to my husband, not that it is not allowed, but he only had 20 minutes to gobble up anything that he brought for lunch. Usually, he prefer to just have some coffee (he brought his own coffee powder and milk).

    Confused with ITAS

    Yes you can open a bank account with ITAS. My husband had done both with ITAS and ITAP. You will need to bring your passport though and depending on which bank you registered, sometimes they asked for your Indonesian tax registration. There were cases though that you don't need ITAS to open a...

    Ibu Kota Negara and IT problems

    Answer for #2, yes. BPJS registration is based on your KK. We went back and forth last year to get my husband to register, it was all for nothing. Until they told me that my husband has to be in the same KK with you because of the system. I texted our contact the Jakarta Selatan civil registry...

    Ibu Kota Negara and IT problems

    Does your wife not have the BPJS app? When i took care of my husband's earlier this year, they told me don't bother, you have it in your phone.

    Spouse sponsered kitap work

    This again. I went back and forth both to Immigration and to Manpower for this. Yes, this is a nasty grey area. the idea is that, yes, you can work informally. For example, together with your wife, you build a small warung makan and you help her around the warung doing dishes or cook or you...

    You have to go this year as next year we have presidential election. The way things are going now, s**t might hit the fan sooner than later. The election will be held on next year's valentine's day. If you can't do it this year, then somewhere after June/July next year should be safe enough...
