Green Card Holders Abroad for more than 1 year

Green Card Holders Abroad for more than 1 year?
Does DHS know how long I've been outside the U.S for. My passport was recently renewed so there are no stamps indicating the date. I have been abroad for 1.5 years. I filed tax returns last year in the U.S and have U.S stocks and credit cards. My husband (an american) was working in Indonesia for this time and I was with him. I am flying in one week back to the U.S next week. Will they know how long I've been out if I don't tell them?

two words i got for you "don't lie" you think DHS don't keep records every time you enter USA through the US Customs line at the Airport!!!

If you apply for a re-entry permit you will have no problem entering the US
3 :
The "new passport" is a dead give-away that you've been gone too long. Most nations won't let you in unless you have at least 6 months remaining on the one in your possession when you leave the United States. Your Green Card is no longer any good. You will not be allowed in. You are not an immigrant. You must start the entire immigration process over from start.
4 :
File for a reentry permit if you are going to be gone over 6 months. If you really don't intend on living in the U.S., give up the green card. You realllly need to apply for a reentry permit while you are in the U.S. to help preserve Your permanent resident status. Look up form I-131 on www.uscis.gov. The immigration officer may think you have already abandoned your green card when you try to enter.

no, you don't have to go to the philippines. all you need to do is submit the requirements needed for a report of birth (not sure if it's the same in indonesia... but it's 3 original report of birth forms, original and 3 photocopies of birth certificate, original and 3 copies of parents' marriage certificate and original and 3 copies of filipino parent's passport date page... as well as fees) to the embassy/consulate. i know coz i did one for my daughter. we're in the US but i believe it should be the same process as well for indonesia.

hi nadine. just dress appropriately and proper. it doesnt really matter what you choose to wear. just be courteous and smart in choosing your apparel. im sure you'll be alright x) cheers
3 :
My family lived in Indonesia from the time I was 18 til I was 25. I wouldn't wear shorts and a tank top out to a mall or the airport (I know women my age at the time who did and received very inappropriate male attention). Most of the time I wore slacks, jeans or a skirt with a blouse or tshirt. When in doubt dress up. It's very European in that regard. Some Indonesian women will wear scarves, but most don't. You may even see some Saudi women who cover completely. As far as business, follow the lead of other women in the office, it will probably be more formal than in the States. For leisure, it depends on where you go. If you're going to the American Club or your countries equivalent, feel free to dress in any way. As far as formal, take one formal gown. You can buy just about anything there if you can fit into Asian sizes. If you have some pieces that you really love, you can have them copied at a tailor. Unless you find a non-Muslim tailor, they won't make original pieces for you. You can find a seamstress who can make some really great custom pieces for really good prices. So for formal wear, I'd get it made.
4 :
A little bit more modest compare to the west. Although Indonesia is the biggest muslim country in the world, the dress code for women is not like from-head-to-toe as what in Saudi. For business, a woman is used to wear formal dress with skirt or slack, sometime with blazer. No t-shirt or denims. For leisure, as long as you're not wearing 2 pieces bikini, you'll be OK then.
5 :
I have traveled to Indonesia yearly since 2002 for business and pleasure. I would say that a more appropriate answer can be provided if I knew which island you will be working in, however, what I have seen and observed is that women dress with either skirt suits or pant suits. Nothing revealing, somewhat somber. Shoes are very practical as mostly everyone rides a scooter to work, however pumps are often seen. Stockings are not often worn, I guess due to the heat. I wore business suits, light in color and fabric. However the locals wore dark suits. No headdress was worn by foreigners or locals who were not Muslim. I found that as long as you left the more dainty clothing for outside the workplace no problem was had. It doesn't mean you have to dress like a man, it just meant that my cleavage was not hanging our like if I was at the beach. Once again it also depends on which island you will be working in, if you were to work in Aceh my advise would be to go conservative all the time. However, Bali, Lombok (believe it or not), and Jakarta are a bit more tolerant. Especially if you are working in an International or Foreign owned company. Best of luck!!!!
6 :
You can wear anything you like!!! Although lately I've heard that you can't wear tank top?? though i think it's just a rumor. Anyway.... just don't wear over short skirts/shorts that will show your bottom and don't wear too sexy a tank top!!
7 :
its true that indonesia is biggest moslem country, but most people of us didnt use abaya or burqa that most arabian women do. u free to use anything as far as polite. dont be too sexy or too hot. most of people in jakarta use jeans pants and t-shirt for leisure. theres no punishment for using sexy dress, just get more attention from naughty man who whistle and says that u looks so sexy for working u can use blazer and skirt (dont be too short) or long pants. its all your. for swim suit u can use it while in beach.
8 :
Which part of Indonesia? If you're moving to Banda Aceh north of Sumatra, then you should really dress appropriately cos' the rules there are tight and they're very strict when it comes to proper clothing, females especially. They're really conservative people. Majority of the people there are Muslims.
9 :
it is proper to have your shoulders at all times no skimpy skirts or tops especially if you visit any official offices or banks. Dress respectively and you should have not problems always wear comfortable shoes and depending on where you are going take a light top with you at night. Respect is the key word for dress and manners
10 :
Just dress approximately. Don't wear sumthing too opened like tanktop or all.
11 :
U can wear anything that u like depend on the situation. For business I suggest u to wear formal female shirt with "collar" and skirt (trousers) For party u can wear long dress or gown For leisure, u can wear T-shirt and jeans As long it's not too sexy. Do not wear bikini in supermarket or naked outside ur home.
12 :
for business, it depends what kind of work you are in to. if you are in creative business, you can wear a nice top and jeans. other than that, don't wear jeans..a skirt would be nice. for leisure u can wear pretty much anything.. but t shirt would be more comfortable than tank top and yeah..u can wear some shorts in mall! it's even one of trends for youngster in Jakarta right now other than gala dinner, avoid gown...or u'll get sweat... a cocktail dress would be appropriate enough for formal events

not all type banana is good for pisang goreng,, the best type of banana for pisang goreng are pisang kepok and pisang raja,, but i dont know if its avaiable in your place,, my mom usually use wheat flour and mix it with some rice flour,,
3 :
To make the batter you need: 100g rice flour 30g plain flour 1 level tablespoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) 150ml water Combine rice and plain flours, sugar, salt and sesame seeds. Stir in water to make smooth batter. Heat oil (it should be 4cm deep) on medium heat and fry bananas dipped in the batter. Fry a few pieces at a time until golden brown and then turn them over to brown the other side. Drain them on absorbent towels, serve warm. If you find the batter too thin after you have fried a few pieces, just add a little more flour and adjust to your liking. Your batter gets greasy if your heat is not at the correct temperature so make sure it sizzles when you put in the bananas. Cooking them on low heat will cause the batter to absorb the oil more. If you are frying alot, would suggest you top up the oil. Experiment with different varieties of banana till you find the one most suitable for frying.

jailbreaking means you have 'unlocked' the phone WITHOUT the 'unlock code' so any sim card can go in it. Right now, the almighty evil Apple empire has locked the phone with ATT. Even though it has only ATT service, ATT has no unlock codes for Iphones. Apple wont disclose them to us, even though this was supposed to be a 50-50 relationship. Damn apple! The reason why people 'jailbreak" iphones and 'unlock' blackberries is becuase ATT has unlock codes for BBs, samsungs, lgs, nokia,s motorolla, etc... if our sticker logo is on it.. them we get the code... and the unlock is prefectly legel and ethical!.... But with iphones, there is no att sticker logo... they arent our phones, a common misconception in today's "youth". they belong 100% to the Evil Apple Empire, which wont even disclose the unlock code to their loyal Mac Fans! LOL therefore, to "top the man", you dont/CANT unlock iphones... you must JAIL - BREAK IT! But, in the long run, jailbreaking is the unethical portion of an ethical unlocking. LOL And for Indonesia... be very careful taking an Iphone out of the US, Japan, Western Europe... high data rates apply.... If its jailbroken, then put a Indonesian SIM card in it and you'll be fine---that is ONLY if Indonesia has 2G/3G/3.5G towers Good luck!

9 :
Capitalism builds economic growth but unfettered capitalism fosters abuse. The basic capitalist system also contains no provisions for protecting people during periods of severe economic downturn or to protect those who are economically disadvantaged even during good economic times. The representatives of the citizens are tasked with addressing the interests of the people including appropriate safety nets and social programs that promote their interests. I don't know whether that qualifies as socialism but I do know that such safety nets and programs are necessary in a modern complex society. In the olden days people starved to death and begged on the streets. Also, workers were exploited, consumers cheated and shareholders defrauded, mostly without recourse. We are much more advanced in our social thinking and no ethical country would allow such conditions to exist unaddressed.
10 :
First, what exactly do you consider a better quality of life? Having the government control all aspects of your life? At what cost? Capitalism rewards those who are willing to get off their butts and do something. It isn't a perfect system but it sure beats the alternatives. Do you honestly think that everybody should put their earnings into a big pot to have it evenly handed back out? Have you ever worked with a slacker and been pissed off that he/she is making the same amount as you? Or are you that slacker? A dollar-a-day is not the same in all countries. The world is getting smaller and we should help bring modern conveniences to different parts of the world but not by trying to pretend that all people are the same in their moral integrity. Hard workers will slow down and slackers will stop altogether That's why communism has been such a huge failure.

No capitalism doesn't work and the more "pure" the bigger the failures. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9621 http://www.spotlightonpoverty.org/why_spotlight_poverty.aspx Capitalism, and the imperialist system that develops upon its economic foundations, is the main cause of human poverty, exploitation, violence and suffering in the modern world. As a system of socio-economic organization, capitalism long ago exhausted its historically progressive role. The blood-drenched history of the twentieth century – with its two world wars, innumerable “local” conflicts, the nightmare of Nazism and other forms of military-police dictatorship, eruptions of genocide and communal pogroms – is an unanswerable indictment of the capitalist system. The number of victims claimed by capitalist-inspired violence runs into the hundreds of millions. And this figure does not include the consignment of the peoples of entire continents to unrelenting poverty, with all its attendant miseries. The gigantic scale of the existing productive forces and the extraordinary advances in technology are more than sufficient not only to abolish poverty but also to guarantee every human being on the planet a high standard of living. Culture should be flowering amidst unprecedented material wealth. But, instead, conditions of life are deteriorating for the working class, and human culture, deprived of perspective and hope for the future, is in deep crisis. The source of the contradiction between what is and what should be is a global economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, and the irrational division of the world into rival nation-states. 8. All efforts to raise the living standards of the working class and address serious social problems run up against the barrier of private ownership of the means of production, the anarchy of the capitalist market, the economic imperatives of the profit system, and, last but not least, the insatiable greed and money-madness of the ruling class itself. The claim that the capitalist market is the infallible allocator of resources and the supremely wise arbiter of social needs stands utterly discredited amidst the endless series of speculative scandals and multi-billion dollar bankruptcies that have rocked the world economic system during the past decade. The boundary lines between “legitimate” financial transactions and criminal fraud have narrowed to the point of being almost invisible. The separation of the process of personal wealth accumulation from the production and creation of real value is an expression of the general putrefaction of the capitalist system

Capitalism works for those who participate and when greedy thugs are kept at bay. No system is without flaws however our system is the best in the world. Wages paid to workers in overseas countries are dismal compared to ours yet these people are working making whatever they make when before there was no future at all for them. I would expect for the larger of the companies to pay better but that's when the greed element enters. The master of all greedy empires and abusers of people is Walmart. How many of you shopped there yesterday or will buy from there today?

Capitalism is not perfect but it's the greatest system ever. Capitalism is implemented everyday by everyday normal people. As screwed up as our government is they pretty much are not in out day to day lives. We have freedom to roll out of bed everyday and pretty much do anything within ones own resources and motivation. Mexico is run by a corrupt totalitarianism. People from Mexico are literally dying to get into this country. People from all over south America eastern Europe, Asia, India and places all over try to get into this country by droves. Why? Because we have the greatest country with the most opportunity. People are not flocking to the Czech Republic or anywhere else they are still trying to come here. I agree Israel is a well run country with a fairly good quality of life interrupted by frequent but short period of bombings and attacks by palestinians and other terrorist groups. Not where I'd want to raise my kids!! I'm surprised you did not bring up Canada a country I have visited often and spent extended period of time in. This is a hybrid of capitalism and socialism. They have government run health care system. It's a pretty well run system but still not near as good as ours. They pay high taxes but they also do not have the convoluted social-welfare system we have and are able to control their spending better than us. OK I'm rambling. We have the best system and the most opportunities than anywhere else by far. That's why the rest of the world envies us.

Capitalism can only work properly in a pure system. When it's mixed with monopolistic markets such as OPEC and government mandates ie health insurance that must cover pregnancy in people that can't get pregnant, and lower housing loan standards via Fanny and Freddy. Czech Republic, Spain, Venezuela, Israel, Really you think that any of those countries can hold a candle to the U.S. ? California is larger than all of those combined GDP wise. Feel free to grab a machine gun and go. Physically the largest state in the US could hold them all. The vastness of our country changes the most simple of the problems countries deal with and that's travel infrastructure. It's simple to transport people across 560k sq miles 3,8 mil. sq miles is a little different. The only victims of our capitalist society are those who choose to sit out.

Capitalism is predicated by an expectation that someone will lose. In order for profit making to occur someone must lose...that is the very logic. And the great mass of the people must lose if a few are to amass mega wealth. So Capitalism works very well for the 1% at the top of the pyramid....but there is a Law of Diminishing Returns operating as you work your way down to the base. go ask the Residents in Public Housing, the Homeless, the unemployed....so how's that capitalism gig working out for you?? And they will say not well....but those with kids at Ivy League Colleges, with green lawns and Volvo's think they have slice of the pie worth fighting for.

heres one example of capitalism i lived in a city where if you walked down the street and said hello to a stranger they crossed over because they thought you must be a weirdo everyone is so determined to work hard so they can afford to buy unnecessary crap they they believe will improve their lives the reason they need this stuff is because they have no time to really enjoy their lives due to working so hard to get the money of course they must also convey to other people that they have the best stuff because this will also make them feel good about themselves naturally they are constantly bombarded by marketing to reinforce these beliefs this is capitalism at its finest what is not so obvious is that the accumulation of wealth and assets does not make a person content funnily enough from my experience the most content people on the planet are those with very little material possessions but plenty of family and a willingness to believe in god (please dont start bagging me as this is an observation not an opinion) they also possess the insight to know what makes them happy and accept that life is to be enjoyed and celebrated sadly i personally do no believe there is a system that will benefit everyone as greed is inherent in human nature and we as a whole (the huiman race) appear to have lost our way this is why i now live on a small island in the pacific far removed from tv and media propaganda where people smile and greet you when walking down the street

Question about visa travelling to Indonesia using HKDI passport

Question about visa travelling to Indonesia using HKDI passport?
I have a friend's husband who is holding a Hong Kong Document of Identity passport (HKDI) residing in Hong Kong and he needs to go to Indonesia for work purpose very soon. NB: Not HK Identification From what I have researched, it's a 30 days free visa but HKDI is actually a bit special and also, from what I have heard, you need a letter from a relative in Indonesia in order to grant a visa, is that true? I hope not, because it would be quite ridiculous as there are peoplpe who might go to Indonesia for holiday or work purpose (like my friend's husband), so therefore the reason does not justify. My friend tried to ring the indonesian embassy these couple of days but the line is always busy and since time is running out, I am representing on her behalf to ask this question. I hope anyone who knows about this or what solution can be done would be greatly appreciated. If there are any questions that you need to know before you are able to answer firmly, feel free to shoot out. Thank you very much in advance and have a great day

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS WORKING CLASS IN INDNESIA ?
2 :
they run around naked
3 :
no their clothing are more close to Malay cloth in Malaysia...if you are having an meeting or going to visit Official you have to wear a dress called "Batik" this is to respect i think or kind of formal dress
4 :
T and a pair of jeans. The weather is hot and humid out there.
5 :
Just wear some short-sleeve shirt/T-shirt... pretty hot and sunny there.
6 :
I think it's same and similar to the west. Like office suit. Or you can wear batik instead. It's formal too. But mostly ppl wear batik in wedding reception or some thing like that. So don't worry too much.
7 :
I prefer you ask about "working clothes", rather than "what working class wear". I prefer to not divide people into "working class", "elite class", whatever classes... Anyway, office workers throughout Indonesia wear semi-formal outfit. The male would wear shirt (long or short sleeves - with collar) and trousers. Some offices requires more formal dress that men should wear tie and blazer or jacket. Not many people use blazer in the dry season due to the hot weather. Another choice for office outfit is batik shirt. But this is considered more when you're going to meet public officials or going to attend a wedding ceremony. Sumatran wedding ceremony, however, uses more of their own traditional fabrics, called 'songket'. So you could wear songket as sort of sarong covering your trousers. Thank you for asking, btw :)
8 :
Do you men clothes workers wear at their workplace? That depends on the type of work and the location. In the cities (like Medan for example), office workers wear shirt (either short or long-sleeve) and formal trousers. But workers who are working in the oil companies (in Duri for example) are used to go to the office with casual clothes (polo-shirts and jeans).
9 :
they wear clothes? i thought all they wore were banana leave and coconut shells.
10 :
Not much different than the people here in Kuala Lumpur. Some wears jeans and t-shirts, some wears batik and the custom shirt and it's a bit similar to the top of "baju kurung".. and some of them used to have shorts and t-shirts for their daily outfit.
11 :
Dunno. The last time i stay there the men were in prison officers uniforms.
12 :
I know in the large cities they are pretty similar but moving further away from inner cities and yoou may find more men wearing sarongs instead of suits
13 :
if you picture indonesia the way you see Myanmar/Burma, you are absolutely wrong. Indonesia is a modern country with various cultural arts. So in term of Working clothes, Indonesians wear the same style with western clothes
14 :
The men in Indonesia wear a casual clothe for working ( with long pant or Jeans & Shirt or T-Shirt with collar) This for daily work or Class But for the Top Manager usually wear formal clothes (long pant & Shirt with tie & Jazz or Blasser)
15 :
Cooling clothes, as the weather can be pretty hot. I think batik shirt for casual events, short sleeve shirts for work, pants or jeans most of the time, shorts at home or at the beach! T-shirts are also the ;in thing' now. Happy New Year! PS: Yes, they are pretty similiar to the west except on Fridays when Muslims where traditional costume to pray!

Hey Dave (and friend), This is the (only) way that I have seen it work out... You graduate and work in an institution, that later "allows"*** you to further your studies to their benefit in the future. So it is only feasible if it is part of a long range agreement/plan. If it is for starting your career, then understandably, no. Legally, a country cannot allow that for fear of repercussions from within their nation. *** = in an open agreement that is contractual and binding. If however in later course of time, you switch jobs and employers, you may already have the confidence to convince your employer to take into consideration your foreign earned credentials, and to "aid" in seeking accreditation, either by the employer's own standards, or the country you and the employer are residing in.

Yikes!! A United States citizen working in a foreign country is not exempt from paying US income taxes. The US has tax treaties with most nations (Indonesia included). the way this works is that you must pay taxes in the country you are living and working in. After you pay your taxes in your host country you will receive an offsetting tax credit on your US tax return. If you opened up a Roth Ira without reporting income in the US you could find yourself in big trouble. If you filed your proper tax returns in the U.S. then there would be absolutely no problem with opening up a Roth. I think you should get hold of a qualified tax professional to help you. Someone who is an EA (Enrolled Agent) would be good. If this is your first year earning money abroad this will not be a big deal. Just file a return for 2008 with Uncle Sam and claim the credit for foreign taxes paid. If you have been doing this for many years, it could become a quagmire that is difficult to extricate yourself from. If this has been going on for a while than do not under any circumstances open a Roth until your taxes are up to date, This will be a huge red flag to the IRS. You must show earned income to open one. EDIT more info here: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/international/article/0,,id=169675,00.html

In case people forgot, there is a Devil too that make things happen too. Even the Bible say's he or (Lucifer) was cast out of heaven, and was put on the earth.

Well, if your question is whether God or Allah did it, well, both terms come from the God of Abraham, so they're technically the same person, right, even if the two sides of the world believe different things about Him.. Then the question as to whether it was a punishment. It's hard to say. There hasn't been any revelation to that respect that I know of, and I don't know enough about prophesies to say if it was predicted or not.

This is like saying "if God loves me why do I have to die" At this point in my life I am not ready for death and prepared to die. HOWEVER who wants to spend FOREVER on Earth? Not me that is for sure. I will be thankful when God decides to bring me home to him. Yes it is sad for us here on Earth and us left behind by our loved ones to understand this. And to grasp the concept of why people are taken from us. But remember there are better places than here. And death-even tragic unexpected death-is not a bad thing.
15 :
You idiots. God and Allah are the same diety. It's like saying God and el Dios are different, one is the english God and one is the spanish one. Allah is just the arabic word ford God. So for you Christians or Jews or whatever that say Allah doesn't exist, you're saying that God (your own God since Muslims believe in the same God as you) doesn't exist. You might say it's not the same God but fact is, they say it is, therefore they are believing in the same God as you whether you like it or not. And it doesn't matter who dies. Muslims aren't supposed to be afraid of death. Whatever happens is God's will, or so they say. So this could be a punishment for some, and the others could just be collateral dammage, so to speak. So, was God or Allah trying to punish New Orleans for the horrible things going on in that city? Maybe God was tired for all the promiscuity and drunkenness during Mardi Gras, or the 14 year old girls having sex with grown men. To the person who said the crescent moon: you are wrong. There is actually another reason behind it, and I will find the source to prove it later, I just have to go workout and get work done right now. I will be back later though if this is still open.
16 :

I am not Muslim but i feel the same hurt and pain as you whenever innocent people die, irregardless of their religion or race. And i believe strongly too we should all respect's each other God and help out each other, especially in difficult and sensitive times like this. Do not doubt your God/Allah in times of troubled times. Hold on strong to your faith and your God/Allah. It is through troubled times, your faith in God/Allah is tested. God/Allah is forever forgiving and will never punish anyone by any means. Though God/Allah is all powerful and almighty, he did not promise us that life on earth is smooth-sailing or that he would protect us from all adversities and trials. But he did promise us that in times of doubt, there will be FAITH; in times of despair, there will be HOPE; in times of trouble, there will be CHARITY and in times of hate, there will be LOVE. Through the last tsunami, all brothers on earth band together to help in whatever way we can. And this tsunami will be the same too!

My mother earned 65 cents an hour in 1954 working in a factory in the United States. The cost of living was much less then just like it is in these developing countries. It took years before the government made laws here concerning safety, child labor, equal pay, etc. The safety laws came with bad accidents. Some factories used to lock the doors so the workers couldn't leave without the supervisor letting them out. A fire broke out in a clothing factory and many died because they couldn't get out. That's when it became a law to have fire exits. Did you ever see how the Empire State Building was built. Many died building it. People used to have their children work as well as the adults because it was the only way they could afford to live. As wages improved, child labor became illegal. As we continued to industrialize, more workers were needed so benefits became necessary to attract good labor. Laws changed for 40 hour weeks, overtime, etc. Equal pay is relatively recent. Developing countries are just that. They are developing just like the United States did. I cringe at the thought of toxic waste being dumped in the oceans and waterways. The recent oil spill literally made me sick. I do not agree with man made global warming but I do recognize that our climate is changing. I also believe it happened before because so many artifacts are being found under the melting glaciers. People lived and farmed in Greenland at one time. It could be we are headed into an ice age but I don't believe that is being caused by C02 emissions. I believe the earth moves in cycles. If we are going into an ice age, its for sure that windmills and solar panels aren't going to be the right kind of energy for survival.

If there was a better option, don't you think they'd take it? If Americans want the jobs to come back to this country, then they have to make sacrifices that many are not willing to make. Everyone in this country should take a basic Economics course in order to understand half the stuff they want to complain about. The idiots in government don't understand. What makes a politician (who likely went to school for law) an expert on budgeting? God this country is going to hell and fast.

Lost Passport In Indonesia, Have Replacement, Visa Office Closed, Plane leaves in Two Days on Sunday

Lost Passport In Indonesia, Have Replacement, Visa Office Closed, Plane leaves in Two Days on Sunday?
Alright, so I've been doing social work in Indonesia for two months, and I just lost my passport yesterday in Jogjakarta, on Thursday morning. It was stolen along with my bag. I made a police report, and I went to Jakarta as fast as I could. I spent all of Friday rushing around, getting a temporary passport. I managed to do this, but I couldn't complete my temporary visa before the office closed. So right now I have: -temporary passport -photocopy of original passport/visa -letter from my volunteer organisation explaining the situation in indonesian language -police report -digital/printed plane ticket with travel dates Since my plane leaves on Sunday at 14:00 (2pm), and my passport expires on Sunday, before the visa office opens again on Monday, my hope is to attempt to get through the airport on Saturday and deal with whatever red tape I have to there. Is it possible to leave on Sunday without my visa, and avoid changing my flight and paying overstay? Where should I go? My friends/family in Jakarta are advising me to wait until Monday when the Visa office opens again. Then I can get my temporary visa after going through an interview process, and probably, if I'm lucky, leave on a flight Monday night. However, in that case I will have to pay about 100 dollars for a flight change, 40 for visa overstay, and then some money for government corruption, which I would rather not support or have to suffer. So I plan to go to the airport tomorrow morning, on Saturday, and attempt to deal with my lack of visa there. Does anyone know if Soekarno-Hatta International Airport will be able to help me on a Saturday? What parts of the airport are likely to be open and for how long? If I manage to get through security and to my gate, will I be safe to wait there until my flght leaves? I don't mind suffering a night in the airport, as long as I save my cash and assets from the Indonesian police. Hey guys! If you want to know how things worked out, I was able to beg the Indonesian police at the airport to stamp my passport, a few hours before my original flight left. In fact, I didn't have to bribe anyone or pay anything! It was amazing. I just told them I didn't have any money on me, that everything had been stolen, and that it was completely impossible to reschedule my flight or stay anywhere in Indonesia. (Which was partly true.) Eventually, the head of the police was so fed up with me that he stamped my passport. Thanks for your advice, you two! It was very helpful to me.

I think for the most part you should be fine. I'm sure you will have to speak with several "upper" people but I think after you state your case to about 5 people you will be fine. Show up at the airport very very very early. Have you tried contacting anyone about this in the US?
2 :
Staying overnight in the airport is bound to get you into trouble. You won't know which gate until the flight is called, and you don't even know if the airport is in 24/7 service -- last I was there it closed after the last evening flight arrival. Even if the airport is in 24 hr operation now, the police are going to arrest you if you hang out there all night. Your friends are right -- you have to stay until offices are open on Monday, pay the bills, get squared away, and make sure you can enter whichever country your going to. If you do not get this all resolved properly, you are going to have to deal with a more expensive mess.

Work visa for Bali-Indonesia

Work visa for Bali-Indonesia?
Okay here it goes.. I'm going to Bali in January and my purpose of my travel is simply to find a job at a restaurant, bar, cafe or something like that. My question is; how is the easiest way to get a work visa? Is it at all possible without a sponsor. The main reason why I chose Bali, is because i've been there 3 times before, have a lot of friends there, I like the culture, the atmosphere and then I have my boyfriend there... I have read about a visa on the website for the indonesian embassy in Denmark(where i live), a visa for visiting family - guess it doesn't count the boyfriend?? Cant wait to get ur help:) Thanx Mariah

I've been worked with some Indonesian Company and as my understanding you need to apply work visa ( if you like to work here ), or you can stay max 30 days using tourist visa. Perhaps during first 30 days you can find some sponsor or company who can employed you in here. It will easy for you to apply work visa if there's a sponsor or company. Some fee should be paid to the government such as Foreign Cost ( subject to Labor Department ), Employee Income Tax of your income ( Subject to Tax Authority / Finance Department ) and Imigration Cost ( Subject to Imigration and Law Department ) To make simple ( if there's no sponsor ), I'm advising you to use local agent to prepare for your documentation. The fee will be negotiable within you and the agent. Hope it may help you.

You can ask fro your country a 60 day social visa and or apply for work visa you you have the sponsor letter from Indonesia http://www.buongiornobali.it/

I don't think so. It's better to buy a wii here and ship it to Australia...In the long run it's far cheaper than buying original games in Australia (not that I condone piracy but that's just the way of life in Indonesia) Wii games from Indonesia require hacked Wii to play.That's why there are the so-called "soft mod" and "hard mod" wii. "Soft mod" wiis are wii with hacked firmware in order to play copied Wii games. "Hard mod" wiis are wii with specially designed mod chip in order to play copied Wii games. I SHOULD probably warn you that almost all Wii Games sold in Indonesia are pirated versions not the original one. Therefore there's no way a wii bought in Australia can play any games from Indonesia unless it is modified.

Can someone update me on the repairs of the 6 earthquake damaged cables in Taiwan

Can someone update me on the repairs of the 6 earthquake damaged cables in Taiwan?
I am trying to work from Indonesia where Internet access is still as bad as it was a couple of days after the earthquake incident. No one here is able to give me an update on the repairs. It was said in December repairs could take up to 3 weeks. We are now 24/01 and the situation is as bad as after the quake. When will the repairs be completed?

If its unlocked (as it more than likely will be if its coming from there) yes. If buying from eBay why not just buy one from the US?

That depends. iPhone are still not able to be used in Indonesia (Due to difference in telecommunications policies). So that person who auctioned his iPhone on eBay probably realized it too late and he decided to sell it anyway. Just ask him, where does the iPhone reginonalized.

Yes I did this, you can apply for your licience back to drive abroad, you haven't had your licience taken away, merely the permision to drive in UK. Mind you this was 25 years ago, rules may have changed now

Yes, you can take your license back by applying for it. It will permit you to drive abroad. For more help regarding your problem you can find free outlines on outlinesumo.

All the countries that would need you to hold a full clean UK license then yes as you dont currently have a full license as yours is suspended. 'An International Driving Permit (IDP) is valid for 12 months form the date of issue (see also important note 1 below). Recognised internationally it normally allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle when accompanied by a valid UK driving licence. (See also important note 2 below) Most countries require a 1949 Convention IDP but for certain countries, a 1926 Convention IDP is necessary. The AA is authorised to issue both the 1926 and 1949 Convention IDPs to applicants 18 years and over who hold a valid UK driving licence, or can obtain such a licence on the basis of a valid pass certificate. IDPs cannot be issued to a holder of a UK provisional driving licence without the test pass certificate and provisional driving licence. An IDP is a permit for use in conjunction with your driving licence, not in place of it. In some countries, you risk being fined or worse for relying solely on an IDP.' You need a '1949 Convention IDP' license in Indonesia.

Possibly, but you should not as you have proven that you are not a considerate or careful driver who abides by the law. What if you had killed someone whilst intoxicated. Stick to public transport.

employers in the US/CANADA will only sponsor you IF you have 'special skills' required by the country... example : teachers, physicians, electrical engineers etc.. these are all examples so you need to check on their websites (embassies) for more information.. once you have discovered that they require your skills, read more as they definately want qualifications recognized by the country.. from there (if successful) you'll be in touch with the corporation(s) that posted the vacancies in order to take the next step.. some employers will pay FULL visas wherelse some employers will deduct a certain percentage from your salary to cover their cost in bringing you into the country....it depends on the job and situations surounds it... to work as a server (say in hotels etc..), constructions, oil rigs, cruise ship etc.. you'll have to get in contact with people in your current country and get posted oversease via contract... that is more secure to actually GETTING the job rather than to migrate to another country... best of luck and i wish you all the best (^_^)
