It is a complicate subject that many (me included) think it is not worth , unless you are rich and are sure you found a place to live for the rest of your life .... I am struggling a bit with if this is possible ...
What marcus has said is correct (but I am not rich lol)My wife and I (both British living in UK) would like to purchase a property in Batam.
I am struggling a bit with if this is possible. Any advice or links to help would be appreciated
Thank you
Yea that sucks, because they can buy foreign land!What marcus has said is correct (but I am not rich lol)
I own 2 houses here in Indonesia however I have changed citizenship to Indonesian, and buying is a bit of a minefield, finding a place that can be legitimately sold, or is being legitimately sold... is part of it.
Yes, the prices can be amazingly cheap in comparison to the UK but the fact of the matter is that foreigners cannot own Indonesian land.
you can buy foreign land too - not in Indonesia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, KSA, UAE and few other countries though. If you can't afford to buy nice property in Central London or Singapore, probably you can buy land outside the jungle of Colombia, chile or costarica.Yea that sucks, because they can buy foreign land!
That has nothing to do with the rules and regulations in Indonesia.Yea that sucks, because they can buy foreign land!
Yes it does. I was referring to if they can buy land in our country, then I would like the right to do the same here.T

Some States in the US and other areas in the world do not have regulations regarding female nudIty. When Indonesia has Regencies that follow suit I will start agreeing with you. Until then, each nation sets their own regulation in what they feel is best for themselves.Yes it does.

All very good points! I would like a world where we can all travel, live, go nude, drink booze, smoke pot, Everywhere! With no visa's or passports!Some States in the US and other areas in the world do not have regulations regarding female nudIty.

Indonesia offered visa free entry for commercial reasons and it worked well as the number of foreign tourists was on the top, benefiting the economy.Before COVID-19, Indonesia and several other Asian countries offered visa-free entry to people from developed nations. Do developed countries offer similar reciprocal agreements to Indonesian citizen travel to their countries ??
I think maybe you have already been partaking in the potted herb.All very good points! I would like a world where we can all travel, live, go nude, drink booze, smoke pot, Everywhere! With no visa's or passports!
Ahh yes, the Sunny California Daze! Aye but that's just a fond memory living here. They should legalize it here like America, and make a ton of money on permits, for farmers 25% tax, tax transporting it 25%, tax at the shops in towns selling it, 25%, all total 75% taxI think maybe you have already been partaking in the potted herb.
Ah yes, all that tax that most would find ways around or just ignore completely. I'm sure Aceh would love to legalize their current cash crop.Ahh yes, the Sunny California Daze!

Sadly by doing this, they killed the business for small Mom and Pop family run farms, Now it's only the rich, (mafia) who can afford the fees. So the government, did succeed in destroying the pot industry, and made a lot of poor people bankrupt.
In many European cities, you can experience most of the activities you have mentioned. For instance, if you are interested in smoking pot, Amsterdam is the place to be. There are coffee shops where you can purchase and enjoy weeds without being afraid of getting arrested.All very good points!

Before the legalization, there was no tax. But plenty of helicopters and traffic stops which resulted in serious fines, and some imprisonment, it was proven, the War on Drugs did not work, only made many suffer, and the prison system a lot of money. So people thought , great if it's legal, all that trouble would stop. So the people passed the legalization laws. It opened up the government to create a new source of revenue and be able to control peoples livelihood even more, through strict rules, and high cost for permits and taxation. It could not be as you say ignored, or find a way around. The police there have lots of toys to spy on everyone, with a heavy hand.Ah yes, all that tax that most would find ways around or just ignore completely. I'm sure Aceh would love to legalize their current cash crop.

Developed countries are not allowing visa free entry for Indonesians among others as it is a developing country, a potential risk of illegal immigration of potentially poor and low skilled labor.
Reciprocity in real estate ownership is relatively oftern in international law.
