Hi, im currently living in the UK with my Indonesian wife and have been for the last 19 years. We are now considering moving back to Sumatra and need some advice. Has my wife has not lived in Indonesia in all that time, but still holds an Indonesian passport can I still get a married kita.
I understand even if I obtain a visa im unable to take paid work, so the next question is about finances.
Im currently in the forces and maybe discharged through disability im 43 and due to start picking up my pension at 55 so ive got 12 years to go before I get any money from that. We have worked out that we will have about £100.000 to buy a small house and to live till then. I know Indonesia is cheap but is this budget totally unreasable. We don,t drink, smoke and Im not a party animal, I was thinking of moving to Bukit lawang and have seen hotels for £2 a night. I have been to Indonesia but not for many years and apreciate any advice.
