WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOUR SERVICE OVER OTHER SITES OFFERING INDONESIAN GIRLS? No other sites offer the personal service that I do. If you choose a girl from one of the major cities, you might as well stay at home because they will probably already be Westernized. I choose girls from small towns and villages who are unspoiled and appreciative. The total cost of my wedding was $700 including the reception and photographs. I recently received an email from an American man who was considering getting married to a girl from the capital. He asked me if I thought it was unusual for the family to demand $16,000 for the wedding expenses! I told him that he had the wrong girl. I'M MIDDLE AGED AND NOT HANDSOME OR RICH. IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME? You will find that the values of Indonesian women are very different to what you are accustomed to. Here age is associated with wisdom, reliability and faithfulness. Physical appearance is not of primary concern though if you are Caucasian it is a definite advantage. Indonesian women are not generally materialistic. As long as you are able to support them adequately they will be contented. My husband is retired and just receives a pension, yet I have everything that I desire and love him to death. IS INDONESIA A SAFE PLACE TO VISIT? This question usually has two parts. The first concerns personal safely and the second natural disasters. As to the first, there has been some negative publicity lately due to the actions of some militant religious groups. These were not however directed at foreigners but rather at other Indonesian groups outside the main Islam following. I defy you to find a country where you will feel more welcome than you will here. You will be met with smiles everywhere you go and are sure to receive invitations to visit Indonesians in their homes as the culture includes outstanding politeness and hospitality. As to the second, yes Indonesia does have its share of natural disasters. Some people refer to it as the country of 1001 disasters. What with floods, volcanoes, earthquakes and mudslides there is always something in the news. However in our area I am happy to relate, it is extremely rare for any of these to occur WHAT ARE THE VISA REQUIREMENTS? From many countries, including the USA, UK and Canada a tourist visa is not necessary but must be purchased on arrival for $10 a week or $25 a month. This visa is non-extendable and any overstay will be charged at $20 a day. However, there is no limit on the number of times you can visit so you could leave after 30 days and immediately return for another 30. If you are married or have relatives here, you can apply for a family visitation visa which is good for 60 days and can be extended 4 times for 30 days without leaving the country, giving a total of 6 months. For longer stays or for a working visa you need to apply for a KITAS which is good for one year. HOW CAN I WRITE TO SOME OF THE GIRLS? I used to list and sell contact information but decided it was a waste of time. You see, Indonesian girls are not desperate. If we list their photos on the site and they do not get any serious enquiries, they will find their own local boyfriends and become unavailable. Note that the girls are looking for husbands and are not interested in penpals. Very often the girls have to visit internet cafes which here are expensive, unreliable and often very far from their homes. On many occasions the girls go to a lot of expense and trouble to write a nice letter back but then hear nothing more from the men who were not serious enough to want to keep in contact with them. The only way to marry someone here is to come and visit. Indonesian girls are definitely not mail order brides! IF I MARRY THERE AM I EXPECTED TO PAY THE FAMILY A DOWRY? In Indonesia it is not usually expected that a dowry be paid to the girl's family. I KNOW THAT MANY OF THE GIRLS ARE MOSLEM. DOESN'T THAT PRESENT A PROBLEM? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Many of the girls will accept men of other religions if they feel that they are the type of person that they would like to marry and if they convert to Islam. If you do wish to accept their religion, this can be achieved simply during the marriage ceremony. There are also Buddhist, Catholic and Christian girls available here. Remember..."Love conquers all!" FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS SEEMS A LOT TO PAY IF I WANT TO STAY IN INDONESIA FOR FOURTEEN DAYS AND MEET SOME GIRLS. Haha. That would get you about one weekend in any major Western city! Say you take out a girl and spend one hundred dollars on her for the evening. My charge is equivalent to ABOUT FIFTEEN dates. For this we will introduce you to a range of eligible girls and find you an ideal life partner, caring and faithful who will love you solely as a person. We think that this is a bargain! This covers accomodation, car and driver and Indonesian local travel as well as the introduction/translation service etc. Click here for some further details. Check a few of the U.S organizations that charge you thousands of dollars whether they find someone for you or not. In fact, for a few horror stories, visit here WHY DO YOU CHARGE A DEPOSIT OF 400 DOLLARS BEFORE I COME TO VISIT? I get an incredible number of enquiries every month that I answer. Quite a few of these enquirers insist that they are really serious about me finding a wife for them. I used to go to a lot of trouble, sending special photos to them and showing their photos to specific girls who they were interested in, many of them requiring me to travel to other towns. Unfortunately, most of them were just bullshitting so now, I can only provide that service if they are serious enough to leave a deposit with me. For a few examples of their "serious" emails, click here HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE GIRLS ARE NOT JUST TRYING TO GET TO ANOTHER COUNTRY? As a matter of fact, you will find that most of the girls do not want to leave Indonesia. One of your major problems may be persuading them to go to your country I MET A GIRL WHO I REALLY LIKE AND WOULD LIKE TO SEND HER SOME MONEY. HOW CAN I DO THAT? First of all, do not send money via regular mail. There are several ways to send funds to Indonesia. 1. If the girl has a bank account (doubtful), you can transfer funds to it but it may take up to 10 days to arrive and you will need to have all the account details including the swift code 2. You can use Paypal.com (to exbrit69@yahoo.com) and I will pay her 3. Western Union has service but we consider it an absolute rip-off. Not only are their transfer rates extortionate but their foreign exchange rates are disgusting....avoid them like the plague. And by the way...they never seem to answer emails. 4. You could also send funds to my bank account and I will pay them to the girl of your choice as a free service to you.
