I just checked that thead. This subject is adding yet another level of confusion to my situation
Let me see if I can recap this...
-Working for a company based outside Indonesia is risky but possible if I keep low profile as no one can monitor wtv I'm doing on my laptop at home;
-On a Spouse Kitas, I am still not able to get any job in Indonesia without a work permit;
-Article 61 of the Immigration Law (UU 6/2011) stipulates that ANY holder of an ITAS or an ITAP sponsored by an Indonesian spouse (ie: suami atau istri) may work and/or do business in order to satisfy his/her living needs and/or his/her family living needs, which would make it fine for me to work for a company based outside Indonesia;
-I'll become a taxpayer for staying more than 183 days in Indonesia, but can't pay any tax because I don't have a NPWP for not working in Indonesia.
Any law should be something very clear and easy to understand. It doesn't make me feel any safe thatmy situation must depend on some officer's interpretation of the law. That Article 61 could make my situation fine, or not, but I don't want to have to debate it with anyone anyway. Already asked my gf to get more information directly from a tax office in Jakarta.
I was reading that thread and the conclusion I got is that they can change anything at any time. All in all, I've no idea how any foreigner can marry an indonesian and make a living in Indonesia without beeing rich to open a business or having so many years of exp to become a team leader in some huge company. Any other source of income might become a problem or not, sometimes depending on someone's interpretation. Just stupid.
At this point I've decided that I won't stay in Indonesia for 6 months as it could fucking trigger someone. 2 months in Indonesia+1 month somewhere else like Malaysia and repeat this until we get married as soon as possible to either stay in Indonesia with her or bring her with me back to my country.
