SillyCon Bali?

@ Davita just follow the rules and regulations to get your wife the required work permit ( I think she needs the company to sponsor her Kitas and then pay $1,200. USD CASH( no reciept given) to Jakarta along with the regular fees for it all .I am sure they would approve your wifes ( as she was indo) work permit.

Thanks Smoke....but we've already had that debate on this forum.

My wife already has a Kitas sponsored by me. We didn't want a Company to control her stay in RI as they could easily cancel. We would then need to leave and go thru' all that crap, and expense, to start another Visa.

UU06/2012 said that a spouse can sponsor a Kitas whilst an Employer (independantly) can sponsor a WP. That is what we pursued. As was pointed out on this forum...I think by Gilbert de Jong...this is only when the spouse is a WNI....I'm not.

The WP is processed by Dept. of Manpower and Kitas by Dept. of Immigration...I think they hate each other and we civilians get the fallout!:grumpy:

There you go again markit...believing your own verbiage that you are GOD. You're not.... you are just rude and applying bully-boy tactics. Has that ever worked before?

You keep telling everyone of your experience of living in Bali and yet not aware that a WNI is an Indonesian Citizen....odd! Also, I'm attempting to establish how a foreigner can work in Bali without a work permit...... 'coz my wife has a job waiting if only she could.

My post was in response to Smoke's question and I'm not rude to not respond.

You were the OP...if you don't like the responses why post in the first place...Oh! I remember...you think you are God!

Apologies if my answer was slightly aggressive - it was not really meant to be. In reading your posts Davita the first time I got a very censorious tone from them (I apparently wasn't completely alone in that) but in rereading them I think it may have just been the hack-handed way you formulated your questions on visas. If that was the case then your retort was deserved, if not then not...

I'm sure we all know more than a few ways for people to work in Indonesia without the correct visas as I do for Europe, USA and the rest of Asia.

Davita you are continuing to search for a way to get your wife a job that will keep her from getting sent out of the country if she gets caught, correct? Have you considered the options that would open up to you if she were to get moved along? Just a thought...

Hahaha...OMG, good job she doesn't read this forum...otherwise this conversation might see us both hangin' from our goolies from the Dewa Ruci statue outside the Galleria!:black_eyed:
But thanks for the idea Markit....it has some merit!
Edit: On 2nd thoughts (i've had a couple of hours sleep)...for 27+ years I've been married to in-laws and collegiate friends in powerful positions in RI. Generals (Polda and TNI), Ambassadors, Professors and Business Millionaires...any thoughts of moving-on would be akin to committing hari-kari.....I'm screwed!

Anyway, I'm not that keen for her to get a job...it's just my excuse to stop being dragged to some friggin' mall and shop...or more correctly...carry bags. However, she has now found 'the gym'....so I have time to do my thing like search for gizmos in a hardware store and have a Bintang or two sitting outside the local pub......and watching for impending traffic accidents. Life is good.
