I already have a KITAP valid until 2025 and just renewed my MERP by NZfisherman02
Hi All, I wondered if someone was able to help me. I already have a KITAP valid until 2025 and just renewed my MERP (Multiple Exit Re-Permit) for Indonesia valid from 2022 - 2024 (2 years). Inside my passport is some writing "should not leave ...
@NZfisherman02 My understanding is you can leave but you need permission from the government so your agent needs to show your intent on traveling to where and when you plan on returning. I didn’t like this clause either but when COVID struck I ... Read More

From my readings on the Internet it is much slower if the transaction is from a bank outside of the ECM. Read More
Getting a credit card if over 70 years old by Dynamoe
I was told by my bank that I could not get a credit card because I was over the age of 70. (Very discriminatory). I was later told that I could get one IF I opened a special account, kept 30 million rp in it that I could not touch until I decided ...
I am very happy for both of you!!! I can’t get a credit card with my Mandiri Bank because of my age!!!! Read my lips! It has everything to do with my age! I will not reply anymore because you are of no help to me. Enjoy using your credit ... Read More

In many countries they don’t stop giving you a credit card because of your age! Read More

So if I die, the property sits empty for the remainder of the lease? It can’t be re-sold to use the money to pay off debts. OK, I get it! Thanks for that clarification! I have a lot to learn. Read More

Thanks for the clarification and another law I didn’t know about. I stupidly thought a bank would have access to one’s assets in Indonesia if you couldn’t pay your credit card debt. I also stupidly thought they might give me a ... Read More

Ok thanks. My credit card in Canada can only be renewed if I pick it up in Canada and phone the bank to activate it. That would be a $2000 expense just to renew my credit card. I will probably have to give in to their rules, but it is still age ... Read More

The long term lease is worth more than 35 million the bank wants to hold, for them to give me a credit card. Read More

Wow, lucky you. So it goes from your bank to TransferWise in a London, then to your bank in Indonesia in 30 seconds! Amazing! Maybe slower if your bank is outside the ECM? Oh well 30 seconds or 23 hours on a Wednesday I guess is quick enough. Read More

I looked at Revolut and it suggested there may be more costs involved if you transfer money from a bank outside of the ECM. My bank is in Canada. Read More

Visa Direct takes less than 2 hours. TransWise is getting much better (faster). And you are right, if you avoid weekends it’s very fast! During the week, usually 2 days. I got a transfer once in about 23 hours but sometimes it takes 2-5 ... Read More

I had a very bad experience with Citibank in Bali. I wanted to open up an account IF their bank card also had a Visa symbol on it so I could transfer money using Visa Direct. The information officer told me Citibank did not use Visa Direct. I ... Read More
