I agree with Mario Mascalchi from Cagliary, Italy, who loves
Indonesia the same as I do (The Jakarta Post, Feb. 23: Investment
and RI laws).

The Indonesian immigration policy is very discriminatory to
foreign husbands, which in my opinion should be reported to
International Human Rights organizations.

All countries should make it much more difficult for
Indonesian citizens to come to our countries, until the
Indonesian government changes its discriminatory behavior. For
your information Mascalchi: There is a recent law in Indonesia,
which allows foreigners over 55 years of age to get a stay permit
for five years that can be extended periodically.

As far as I know the conditions are as follows: Your monthly
pension should be about 1,300 euros minimum, you must have your
own health insurance, and insurance with death and disability
coverage.

I think you should contact the nearest Indonesian Embassy for
the correct information. Best of luck and let us all hope the
immigration law will be changed to one that is respectful of
human rights soon.
