Actually been married almost 2 years now KaBIm, with our first kid expected this week, but thanks anyway! Ok, slight change of questioning / discussion.... So lets say my wife purchases a house/business. My visa status will become KITAS sponsored by wife, so of course I cannot legally work for...

Thanks both of y'all! Was getting a little worried back there!! Also, im 99.99% sure I know this already, but just a double double check - Indonesia will legalize any marriage (regadless of marriage - in our a case a religiousless civil one) AS LONG AS the marriage was legal in the country in...

Firstly, to the man of many monikers, a big thanks for both your replies (legalising an overseas marriage & this one) - your helpfulness truely knows no bounds! :D I guess the reason I posted the above question (after somewhat exhausting the above thread you mentioned) was because of a PM I...

I read with interest in a previous thread in which Atlantis posted a reply that all overseas marriages must report to the Catatan Sipil RI to register their marriage as 'Legal' in the eyes of Indonesian law. My wife and I have been married for almost 2 years (civil, non-religious marriage in...

My mind's been absolutley buzzing with ideas since I began this post (thanks for everyones input!), and im thinking more and more about possibilities in a small bussiness in Central Java. With the relatively small savings I own (relative to what would be needed for a guesthouse in Bali) I guess...

Thanks for your input ANTON, sound advice! I've looked into whether my job skills are transferable to Australia, and seems I have two choices - get a sponsor from an employer (difficult without actually being there) or get a sponsorship from a district within Oz that sees my job as 'In...

Im a cameraman / video editor, but the thought of working in Jakarta makes me sick .... no thankyou. Spent quite bit of time there before, and it really wasnt somewhere I could stay long term. Now I know this is a really vague, open to many variables type question, but as USD 30,000 is too...

Many thanks for your responses, its all welcome information. This is just one of my various options on getting the hell out of the UK, and if it means we need to stay here for a few more years to save closer to USD $50K - 60K, then so be it. :D Another choice is a move to Australia (have...

Hi there, apologies first off if this is the same old 'newbie' looking for help type question .... but I guess I gotta start somewhere ... :) I am a British citizen with an Indonesian wife currently living in the UK. We have begun to think about buying a guest house, nothing too major - just...
