If you hold any type of temporary or permanent stay permit (ITAS or ITAP) for retirement, investor, spouse, 2nd Home or otherwise, it makes you a resident for taxation by default. Therefore, there are tax implications on your worldwide income, subject to the tax treaty between Indonesia and your home country. Not always followed up by the Indonesian tax department, but happening more frequently of late.[/QUOTE]Not systematically dor pensioners receiving an overseas pension.It depends if there are bilateral agreements between your country of origin (source of your pension) and Indonesia on double taxation avoidance.Of course if you work or have an income originating from Indonesia you will pay tax on that in Indonesia.

In 2 years time you apply for your Kitas but I think the money they require you to hold in Indo will make that useless unless you are reasonably wealthy. Witch puts me out...CheersKen

Hi Markit. If you've told me the contact for the visa I'm sorry I don't seem to be able to find it. Could you tell me again please.[/QUOTE]His name is Tude and is also a lawyer at a practice in Denpasar. He's been a good agent but the bar for that is fairly low. Call him on +62 819 9910 0490 and say Hi from Mark (not that I get a commission but if they realize we talk amongst ourselves about them that keeps them just a little less rapacious).

I saw this guys videos also and thought the same thing! He seems to have a pocket full of dough which the locals are more than happy to get their hands on some. Do people come here and really want to live in places like this? They might as well go to Tahiti or some place already super expensive!

Some of these places that want $2000-3000 AUD a night is crazy. For that sort of money there are way better areas in the world to throw that sort of cash.Unfortunately I doubt very much Bali will ever return to the laid back surfer dude vibe of the 70s and 80s when traffic was non existent and market stalls were few..CheersShowing my ageKen

I heard that in those days there were the three K's Kathmandu, Kabul, and Kuta. The travelers would got to to the first two and then come to Kuta to enjoy a laid back beach life smoking the nice Hash from Kabul and Kathmandu and living life at ease. Oh that would be sweet to have that kind of freedom again.

One might be forgiven for wishing back the olden days when youth "did" Europe on Inter-rail or congregated in the Pie Shop in Istanbul to catch a magic bus to India when now the youth seem to be primarily exercised by who uses which toilets and how many "followers" one has on the phone. Ho-hum...
