    KTP for foreigner in Surabaya

    What the Banana said. I've done it myself repeatedly (in Bandung). The process has gotten better over the years. Last time it was just two 15 minute trips to the Catatan Cipil to change some data. You should definitely be able to do this. I'd bring the wife along as it is your first go on...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    F From that study, the vaccinated workers had a cumulative 00.73% percent chance of getting the disease over the course of five months. The unvaccinated workers, on the other hand, had a cumulative 03.61% chance of getting the disease over the course of five months. That's about five times as...

    Need a green card

    I had someone suggest a marriage like this to me when I was young and living in the UK on an expired visa. It was a way for me to stick around and get a legit job. There wasn't any mention of money either, just a kind friend of my "found family" who wanted to help me out. Somehow I thought that...

    Need a green card

    I'm actually curious as to what you mean, but I understand why you aren't detailing it here. Would have thought it was marriage for green card, but you are already married... Guess I'll just stay curious.

    America is thriving, how about the other part of the world?

    https://www.npr.org/player/embed/958854717/958927220 Actually, the stimulus packages and coinciding printing of money in recent years have not had the long predicted effects of scaring off bond purchasers and creating spiraling inflation. Economists were so surprised by the results that a new...

    America is thriving, how about the other part of the world?

    I always thought it made more sense to import cheap labor than to have businesses choose between being priced out of the market by American consumerism (specifically the ratio of consumption to production that workers demand) and going overseas in search of cheap labor. At least, as far as low...

    Terns of C318 Visa

    I just want to contribute my shock at the unreasonable level of bureaucracy that requires you to prove that you are not a citizen... Isn't knowing who is a citizen kind of their job? On top of that, if they want proof, why the hell can't you file something at the CaSip to remove yourself from...

    Moving to Indonesia as foreign employed “contractor”

    My autocorrect is for shit... Half the time the keyboard is set to BI and I look back at my typing to see some random bollocks about Agus lagi mandi.

    Extended SIX weeks more

    I actually feel kinda cool when I do those... a sort of "bro-mance" feeling. I always felt silly doing fist bumps before, but maybe it is that my generation has now passed out of the "cool zone" completely... It's just fun to do what the hip young kids are doing... How is it that I am old and...

    Moving to Indonesia as foreign employed “contractor”

    We did go a bit too far, perhaps. Long-haul expats have a certain set of experiences (not homogenous, but often similar) that... I can't really explain it except to say that a lot of us raise an eyebrow at the same things, as regards new immigrants to this country from the West. I saw a lot of...

    death of a spouse

    Ex-wife insisted that she be the one to go to KanIm (I believe I have mentioned here that she seems to get her way with government employees through some social mechanic which I fail to comprehend). She made two trips, because I was worried that the due date to submit ahli sponsor was tied to...

    The Uyghur and China discussion thread

    @Dave70 If you recall, I spoke in the other thread of your willingness to believe that the American government's imposition of secrecy, their lack of transparency regarding a military base, was evidence of wrongdoing. I referenced this thread because the Chinese government is well know for it's...

    5th Kitas extension or kitap conversion

    You should just stop by KanIm, if it isn't too inconvenient for you. You'll know right away if they are going to fight you on it. If KanIm hasn't finished the new visa before your old visa expires, but you have already submitted it before the deadline, they will postdate your new visa to the...

    5th Kitas extension or kitap conversion

    KITAP is worlds better than KITAS, if you are here for the long haul. Much of the yearly government paperwork goes away permanently (Catatan Sipil, Kantor Lurah, Kecamatan, RT/RW, police visit, trip to Jakarta to deliver papers). The rest moves to a five year interval (driver's license, KanIm)...

    A very interesting docu from D.W. on viruses and lab research.

    You seem to have missed this bit of the article: He said it is possible the outbreak did not originate in Wuhan, as until January 17, almost all the isolates were type B. In Guangdong, a province about 500 miles from Wuhan, seven of the 11 isolates were type A. "These case numbers are small...

    Do they have a good texture? I like (what I think of as) Japanese style fried rice, with the veg mix you have there, but have been dissatisfied when I tried to make it with frozen veg. No crunch and little of the fresh flavor.

    A very interesting docu from D.W. on viruses and lab research.

    ABC News article -mentions how common respiratory infections are in nursing homes. Does not go on to mention quarantine being imposed or an outbreak throughout Fairfax County... The disease is perhaps in on the conspiracy, and was ordered to cease infecting people until after a major outbreak...
