    UK Bank asking for TIN number?

    Mine asked for one a couple of times a few years ago, never mentioned it since. Unless they threaten to close the account I wouldn't worry about it

    Global Citizenship Indonesia

    As well as being able to own land the other thing they would want is to be able to work without needing to get a work permit.

    Remote work with a spouse KITAS visa - the how

    Definitely number two is the best option. If you weren't on this forum you wouldn't even know about this issue same as 99% of foreign pensioners living here. The chances of the Indonesian tax authority coming after an 86-year-old for tax on his foreign pension are zero.

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    I don't think costs will ever go down enough to make them cheaper than an Indonesian worker.

    Remote work with a spouse KITAS visa - the how

    That's actually a surprisingly good answer from chatgpt. They will put tax consultants out of a job.

    Entering Singapore

    Yes, I'm not sure how useful a vaccine would be now. It was very useful in 2021, but now everyone has already had some form of Covid, probably multiple times, even if they weren't aware of it, so everyone has antibodies already. Vaccines probably aren't against the latest strains, and there...

    Entering Singapore

    Please inform the citizens of Pekanbaru that Covid finished about 2 and 1/2 years ago. I know news travels slowly.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I've noticed that BP, Shell and Vivo have not had any benzin for over 2 months! BP now has some, but the others, not yet. First time I've ever seen queues at BP. It seems like the government wants a Pertamina monopoly and doesn't like these foreign companies being involved. Also interesting...

    [FOR RENT] Spacious Family House Lembong House Kemang Jakarta

    USD2000 per year is a good price, those houses used to be closer to USD4000/month. Although those mosques are so so loud (one on either side of the complex) it's very difficult to sleep there.

    Economical agency to do Spouse KITAS to KITAP uograde?

    No-one on a spouse visa should be using an agent. There is literally nothing that the agent can add to the process. Just go to the immigration office and do it yourself. If you don't know what documents you need, then they will tell you. Also after 2 years you should get a 5-year KITAP not...

    Working as an IT Freelancer in Indonesia with an E31A-Visa

    No, no and no. You might want to consider having your earnings paid into an account outside Indonesia. Immigration really has no interest in what work you are or are not doing if you are on a spouse visa. This isn't their responsibility.

    Working With Orphanages

    2 extended family members were sent to a pesantren in East Java. At the end of the school year they stopped at our house for a few days. The only way I can describe how they were is shell-shocked. From previously happy kids they looked liked they had just returned from war. I'm guessing they...

    Working With Orphanages

    Looks like a TV station has tried to expose feudalism, corruption and abuse going on in pesantren. And the reaction is to clean up the schools and bring in some transparency? No, it's to boycott the TV station ...

    U.S. Stocks’ Total Value May Be Too High

    He has been fearful to invest in stocks like Nvidia over the last few years whereas the people who have been greedy have seen their money multiply many times over. Who's the genius here?

    U.S. Stocks’ Total Value May Be Too High

    Buffett is just annoyed that while everyone else was making money from AI he was invested in Coca cola and bonds

    Certificate of non-impediment for a Singaporean to wed

    So it's completely useless then.

    Certificate of non-impediment for a Singaporean to wed

    So if they change their ID cards to "believe in God Almighty" they are free to marry Muslims and register it at the catatan sipil?

    Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

    Yes, I very much doubt that most cases are reported. There are probably incentives to make it look like everything is working well. Yes crowds occasionally go crazy (mengamuk), but you don't have to live here long to see how deferential Indonesians are to authority in their everyday life. Trying...
