Posts: 1654Moving to Jakarta
I'm considering moving to Jakarta for a year or so. Due to my age, I will need a good health insurance. A travel insurance will cost me 400 euros a month. So maybe you residents can tell me how much you pay for one person so I will be able to decide which one (travel or local one) to choose. I'll need a price and no link to Cigna or AXA etc. My age: 77 years. Thanks.

1. it stipulates, that it is only a crime if a family member if filing a complaint at a court. Only at that time the police will investigate the incident. Catching unmarried people in the act on part of the police is not grounds for prosecution. Ironically that means sleeping with girls that you know from work or in your circle of friends is more risky than paying a prostitute (the latter doesn't know your identity and the parents don't know you).
2. it's Indonesia. A lot of laws are enforced very flexibly. Except capital crimes such as homicide or drug trade. Generally laws against "social disturbances" are more strictly enforced in provincial small towns. And paying bribes to prosecutors is depressingly common, if you can afford it. A poor girl can't pay a 10 million bribe to walk free. That 5 times her monthly income. A business man from Bandung can. That's 10% of monthly income.

Posts: 95New to Indonesia
Hello,
I am new to the Indonesia forum, but not new to ISG. I travel to Taiwan, China and Thailand frequently for work. However, I recently got a new client in Indonesia in the area around Gorontalo. I was hoping to get some advice.
1. is there any FUN to be had around the Gorontalo area?
2. From my understanding there is a NO sex law in affect in Indonesia for unmarried people. How enforced is this?
Thank you everyone!

Posts: 12Left Hand
Do you use your left hand with the girls?
The left hand is considered like "unclean" because it's use for toilet. And when I interact with Indonesian I don't use this hand.
But with the girls, my brain disconnect, and I don't care about that, but this year, I will try to have a real girlfriend, and keep her.
What are your experiences about that?

Posts: 290First in line to get the Indonesian Golden Visa
Who would have guessed?
Sam Altman (Co-Founder & CEO, ChatGPT) is the first to get the Indonesian Golden Visa!
I had no idea Sam was into Indo girls. Don't be surprised if you see Sam in Classic or Emporium! LOL!!
On a serious note, it appears the Indonesian Government gifted the Golden Visa to Sam to create a marketing buzz. Details pasted below.
Jakarta (Bloomberg):
OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman (pic) is the first person to get an Indonesian golden visa as South-east Asia's largest economy seeks to draw foreign investors.
The country's immigration authority issued a 10-year visa for Altman as he "has an international reputation and may bring benefits to Indonesia," said Immigration Director General Silmy Karim in a statement.
The co-founder of the ChatGPT creator would enjoy priority security screening at airports, longer stay periods and easier entry and exit processes, among other perks.
Introduced last week to boost economic development, the new visa allows foreigners who make substantial investments in the country to remain for between five and 10 years.
For example, an individual who invests US $350,000 into shares of local public companies, savings accounts or government bonds is eligible for a five-year stay.
It was not immediately known whether Altman, who visited Jakarta in June to speak on artificial intelligence, applied for the visa or has plans to invest in Indonesia.
Since their debut last year, OpenAI's tools have spurred a rush of investment into AI-supporting infrastructure by showcasing the potential of human-like intelligence using vast data centers.

OS thinks probably smarter to find one of the thousands of Janda's that just want a husband that treats them nicely, doesn't drink and beat them, gives them a small allowance each month and provides a home and a motorcycle. You wouldn't even need to live with her. Just give her a signed portrait of yourself to put on the wall for the neighbours to see and bingo!. That can probably be all achieved for USD $50 K. Then you get a KITAS convertible to KITAP after 2 years and permanence after a few more years even if your janda has woken up to your philandering ways and punted you. Minus the motorcycle of course.

Posts: 6881Golden Visa
From today's news:
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...rs-2023-09-03/
Jakarta (Reuters) - Indonesia is introducing a golden visa scheme to attract foreign individual and corporate investors in an attempt to boost its national economy, a statement from the ministry of law and human rights distributed on Sunday said.
"The golden visa is granting a residence permit for an extended period of five to 10 years," director general of immigration, Silmy Karim said in the statement.
The five-year visa requires individual investors to set up a company worth $2. 5 million, while for the 10 years visa, a $5 million investment is required.
SNIP..
Meanwhile, corporate investors are required to invest $25 million to get five-year visas for directors and commissioners. They need to invest double, or $50 million, to gain a 10 year visa.
Different provisions apply to individual foreign investors who do not want to establish a company in the Southeast Asian country. The requirements range from $350,000 to $700,000 in funds that can be used to purchase the Indonesian government bonds.
Pocket change.

Posts: 10Is Indonesia a good starter for monger newbie?
Hi team,
Somewhat of a late bloomer and new to the monger world.
Late 30's guy from Australia looking to travel SE Asia mainly for paid sex.
I've been told I'm attractive with good skin, decent body, etc.
Problem is with Australia's rapidly growing Indian population I get mistaken for Indian all the time.
Is Indonesia a safe bet or what about Thailand or Filo in this regard?
Likely travel to Thailand at some point too.
Would also like to try some Indians and heard Mumbai is good for this (OT so will leave that for the other forum).
Thank you!!
