So you are referring to Hak Pakai (or perhaps Hak Sewa) here Markit? I.e. I would need to change the name on the existing Hak Pakai (which was granted in addition to the nominee agreement - i.e. "mortgage" of indebtedness ). Question then perhaps is what the fees payable for someone to change a...

Hi guys, Anyone know or have experience of transferring beneficial ownership of property (land or land + buildings) between Bule? My logic tells me that whilst the Nominee and Bule agreements have to be unwound, there is no transfer of true ownership (the Indonesian), no notification to...

apart from the known 21% tax which is chargeable on tourist accommodation (and of which 10% is payable directly to the Gov't) are there additional taxes which are deemed compulsory for those who derive income from villa and/or small hotel operations? (i.e. corporation tax). I appreciate it is...

Does anyone know whether the 21% tax charged by all 'good' businesses on accommodation and services is directly payable to the Gov't? I am doing some rough calculations, and need to understand whether these taxes are effectively GST or VAT taxes and therefore payable directly to the Gov't...

Mike, For which regency? If Klungkung, I can recommend one in particular who is exceptional. I can also recommend 2 I have used over the years who are to be avoided. PM me

Just about to email you Sakumabali. Arrive 20th Nov for 4 weeks. I haven't been in a bad mood myself since July 20th (day I left Bali) ;-0

I am looking to take some money out of Indonesia (all totally legitimate I might add!) The usual routes for sending money to Indonesia - XE.com and other currency trading houses - don't have Rupiah accounts for bringing money out. What is the general consensus on how to do this. Will...

Big Fish and more... Mark, Maybe you should just write a book about your trials and tribulations - that would be a best seller by the sounds of it!! Interesting what you say about the lack of big fish species. I stay on Lembongan and there is rarely a lack of 'big' fish. I do recall that...

There is a excellent publication by an American lawyer who has translated the Indonesian constitution into English and in particular the relevant articles which govern property ownership (Agririan Law No. 5 1960). It is sitting on my desk in London but I can;t for the life of me remember the...

Mmmmm......Who has failed to understand the law?? Highly 'respected' Notaris' like Rainy Hendriany and other Notaris who make a healthy living out of this business?? Despite my aversion to using some of these Notaris', I would suggest that they in fact understand the law very very well...

Interestingly the same issues are at fault here as most problems in Bali - lack of Education and cultural stupidity. Plus of course lack of money. Not easily solved but these people must be taught that their actions and cultural ways of dealing with mental illness are inhumane and wrong as a...

Anyone know of a Balinese doctor or clinic that can do Ear Syringing for a fair price? I am based in Canggu but will travel around to find a place with reasonable prices. Tired of being ripped off by the likes of BIMC and Bali Clinic, and have been told the procedure is no more than 300k...

I have heard rumours - and I believe my agent offers this service - that there is a method of extending a 60 day VOA (i.e. a 30 day VOA which has already been extended) WITHOUT leaving Indonesia. It is expensive - Rp. 1.5M from memory - but I am dubious as to whether this can be done. I...

Thanks a million BKT. very helpful - I'll head there tomorrow.

Perhaps not the right place to post, but I wonder if anyone might be able to suggest some useful contacts/suppliers where I can price up various building materials (ok, if they only speak Indonesian) I want to compare against prices my architect is advising. Don't mind traveling near and far...

Yeah thanks for clarifying JohnnyCool - you're absolutely right. And quoted speeds are theoretical and usually consider optimum conditions (beside base station, no other users sharing, non peak times etc). With wired connections (internet over copper) then call it 'contention ratio' which used...

Amusing. Balinese calculator? It's wrong by a factor of 10 in the UK (about £180k street value in UK) if the papers are to be believed (£35-40/gram in Liverpool). What's a '0' anyway when you're going down for life?!?!? Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. Who would risk 25 years in an Indonesian prison (or...
