Well I have decided to go with the Business Visa and just go to Singapore for the afternoon to restock on western supplies every now and then. So I am told it is 1.3jt to extend it, but I checked and it is 1.5jt to go to Sing if you plan ahead. Sometimes less even. Air asia has this great new...

Btw my friend says when he goes in to extend he doesnt do anything special or talk to anyone special. He says he just fills out the normal form, in the normal folder. Comes back a fee days later to pay the fee, then comes back a few days later to pickup his passport. Though I will say somehing...

I have heard that one too about having to leave at least once in the 6 month period. But what your agent's site is saying is more or less why my agent is saying. And yes, who knows. Probably will just figure it out when I'm there based on what actually happens. If I can't extend I at least have...

Here are a few from a quick search. One of which is expat.or.id which I think a lot of expats rely on for accurate information. Visas and Documentation - Information on working documents for expatriates in Indonesia Multiple Entry Visa - VISA INDONESIA Multiple Entry Business Visa Indonesia...

We are really just going for 6 months. The entirety of my job in America an be done completely remotely via email so can do this. For this time I think the KITAS is probably not practical because we are only going to be 6 months and I believe the allowed Business activities with the Business...

Thanks for your reply! I hear ya. I definitely like the Business Visa over the SosBud because I feel more comfortable using my laptop and checking my email on it. I think it is normal for anyone who is on an extended vacation to call work at home sometimes or use their email, even with a...

Thanks for the fast reply! You are telling me the same thing that the Embassy is telling me. It's always good when more than 1 person say the same thing :) Meanwhile I also had Facebook chat with a good expat friend in Bali (a few hours ago) who is currently there and been there for several...

Ah yes, I understand that after 1 year you need a fresh one. During the year it was still valid were you extending it every 60 days at the local immigration office or frequently leaving the country and coming back in?

Was it the Multiple Entry type? How long ago was this? Would it have been the first extension on it? And what reason did they say they could not extend it (maybe because you had already been to Singapore to extend it before? When you say expired you mean the 1 year validity period of the Visa...

Spent a few years living in Bali with my wife (she is Indonesian). About 3 years, and over those 3 years was always SosBud and did the extensions myself at KanIm each month then went to Singapore for a new Visa every 6 months etc... Now we have been in America for about a year, wife has Green...

The true cost of a kitas is something like 700k (I think you canfind that somewhere on expat.or.id) but that's if you do it yourself. Sponsorship is another thing all togeher. In my case my wife is my sponsor so that doesnt cost any extra. There is then a re-entry permit you can get something...

I never had a problem with the Visa runs, I did 2 sosbod runs and I many tourist visas. At a certain point we decided to try living in the US so got my wifes green card so here now (and both of us about ready to come back). Anyway it was because of the green card thing I decided to keep on with...

Selling a mothercare "Spin" stoller/pram. pictures here: mothercare spin - Google Search This thing is awesome, we spent 8jt on it at the Mothercare in Centro. Turns out however that our daughter doesn't like the fancy expensive stroller, she prefers the $50 cheap one that we borrow from...

Hi Chippy, thanks for the offer. Think we'll pass though. Decided it wasn't that critical and we've already hated off the critical regions. Good luck selling it, should be easy as its a hard item to find around here. Try the Bali Advertizer.

I apologize, I forgot to Update this thread! I did get one at that apotek. Really great apotek btw! Decided in the end we only really need one, however an additional one might be useful, I'll think about it and pm you.
