This is freakingly insane!! Y are we as a foreigner who ask to "pay" for any renew and exention still need to force to fork out 2.5 millions for the tax? It's ridiculous! The tax is more expensive than the ticket? It's doesn't make any sense at all! And it's very very wrong! Besides the tax., we still need to "pay" for donation and it's a must! Please where did all the money went? Take a look at the old and under-maintain airport and the airplane!

• There are many problems for expatriates
• They are paying visa including all things. And one more big tax 2.5 million.
• Before, 1 million "fiskal" and now it becomes 2.5 million. It’s too high.
• If we go near by Indonesia, tick only 1 to 1.5 million and "fiskal" 2.5 million. It's very big question.???????????

how about the people who don't have NPWP with reason that they are not capable enough to get that?? such as, students who would like to study abroad and they don't have fixed salary as one of the terms to get NPWP....
