    Hello. What are some things I should know before coming to Jakarta?

    A pastrami sandwich or two is enough to buy my silence, just saying...

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    Indeed, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    So an investor KITAS is a stay permit for investors, meaning shareholders in a PT PMA. Unscrupulous visa agents are creating empty PT PMA, which are companies that only exist on paper but do not comply with the minimum capital requirements of IDR10Bn paid-up capital. Then they add these...

    They are cracking down the Investor Visa (?)

    They did a razia a couple years ago in both Bali and Jakarta. A good thing, if you ask me.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Ah memories! I used to live just around the corner, at rue Lauriston, so I took this round-about many times! I have to say that now that I live in Indonesia, indeed this is no big deal, but back in the day it always got my heart pumping a bit! The main issue being that all roundabouts in France...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Where have I said such thing? But if we're going down that road, no I don't think it should. I also don't think blanket tariffs are the answer, and that appears to be the vast majority consensus in the rest of the world. I mean, if the US is so uncompetitive for domestic production that many...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    Or not. What is the point for a country like Madagascar to negotiate? To achieve what exactly? Even with 0 tariffs on US imports into Madagascar, the trade balance would not shift significantly. Not even close. Malagasy will not have more purchasing power for US goods, nor is the economy strong...

    It's already happening, the US tariff on Indonesia is 32%, one of the highest one

    It's astounding the number of people (and this thread is a good representation of the phenomenon) who just took the list of Tariffs imposed on the US by other countries from the Trump team, as face value. Even when the calculation is put in your face, you still don't understand. Trade deficit...

    Foreign visitors MUST be accompanied by licensed local tour guides

    It's just a Surat Edaran, so not really enforceable?

    Jobs with minimal Indonesian Language Skills

    What the hell are you on about? Of course it's legal for foreigners to work in Indonesia with the necessary permits. Anyway, you are completely paranoid. So please cease your baseless accusations.

    STEAM games for decent price

    I had a quick look around, indeed there seem to be some better deals but not all. I wonder where he got those games at a cheaper price? Bulk buy on GoG during promotions?

    Weakening IDR

    I bought a 1.7kg Tokusen Wagyu Picanha for 1jt, it was awesome. Tokusen is a local wagyu, it's nicer than Australian regular meat, not as good as Japanese wagyu but it's still really good.

    PT PMA Without the 10 Billion rupiah ?

    That's not what the article says. It says that the investment realization data is incomplete because some actors don't report it. It's not that these actors are under or over reporting, or reporting previous year, or any other assumption you make. They are just not reporting. The link you...

    PT PMA Without the 10 Billion rupiah ?

    But why is it unreliable? According to the article, it's because not all businesses have NIB (!!) and not all are submitting their LKPM (investment realization reports). If they are not submitting these documents, it means they are under reporting their investment (by absence of reporting)...

    PT PMA Without the 10 Billion rupiah ?

    Please provide sources? If it's your experience and observation, then by definition it's speculation. Please read my post again, I clearly wrote that BKPM has limited resources. Because they cannot check every company, they go after low hanging fruits. Please provide evidence of your mismatch...
