Publication log
- : new: Ask Panduan Warga, a question box that summarises answers with AI only from our guides, with sources and review dates; any number not in the guides holds the answer back, emergency questions show emergency numbers straight away, and personal numbers are removed before processing (see privacy). New guide to hajj and umrah paperwork (Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, passports, meningitis and polio vaccination, checking PPIU licences), linking to the full guides on MyDeenPath, plus links to relevant KarirAman pages.

- : new calculators that run entirely on your device: a ride-hailing app fee checker (compares the fare-to-earnings gap with the 8% app-fee cap for passenger rides; the result is something to check, not a verdict), ride-hailing and courier net income per month, day and hour, and a household budget planner.
- : new topic Ride-hailing & couriers with a Perpres 27/2026 implementing-rules tracker and five guides: becoming a driver or courier partner, BPJS for drivers (non-wage contributions and the 50% JKK/JKM cut under PP 50/2025), tax for drivers (PP 20/2026: turnover up to Rp500 million a year free of final income tax), accidents and safety (Jasa Raharja benefits under PMK 16/2017) and complaint routes.

KIP Kuliah updated to Higher Education Minister Regulation 2/2026 and the 31 October 2026 registration deadline. The Labour Protection Law guide was rechecked: as of 14 October 2026 the law is still not promulgated.
- : new guides: the 2026 Labour Protection Law (approved by the DPR on 6 October 2026, not yet promulgated as of 11 October; which rules still apply and what to do now) and dismissal disputes: bipartite talks, mediation and the PHI court (Law 2/2004). The severance calculator now explains that it uses PP 35/2021, which is still in force.
- : The publisher and reviewer is now named: Kaiser Khan. The publisher’s relationship with InstantDeedPoll is disclosed on the UK name-change guide. Open data is now licensed under CC BY 4.0.

- : Central Kalimantan vehicle tax added, bringing coverage to 35 provinces. Maluku, Southwest Papua and Highland Papua are held back until their current PKB rates can be confirmed on official sources.
- : Vehicle tax by province now covers 34 provinces, adding North Maluku, Papua, West Papua, South Papua (Regulation 8/2025) and Central Papua (Regulation 6/2025). Southwest Papua and Highland Papua are not yet included because their PKB rates cannot be confirmed on official sources. The 2026 minimum wage table now cites the governor's decree for North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Gorontalo and Central Sulawesi. Correction: the Bangka Belitung decree number was removed because one handwritten digit on the official copy cannot be read with certainty; the amount is unchanged.
- : Vehicle tax by province now covers 29 provinces, adding Bengkulu (Regulation 1/2026), Gorontalo, North Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi. The 2026 minimum wage table now cites the governor's decree for Riau, Bengkulu, South Sumatra, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi. The public holidays answer no longer depends on today's date.

- : new guides: public holidays and collective leave for 2026 and 2027 (the 2027 decree was signed on 15 September 2026) and the Bali tourist levy (Bali Regulation 2/2025). Visa types for foreigners and Golden and remote-worker visas were deepened, including the latest visa-free list (Permen Imipas 10/2026) and the transitional bridging permit (Permenkumham 11/2024, Article 94A). Corrections: since Law 1/2026 on criminal penalty adjustment took effect on 2 January 2026, confinement penalties were removed from the KITAS and KITAP and foreigners' driving licence guides, and the immigration reporting fine is now up to Rp10,000,000; the quarantine fine in the pet travel guide is now up to Rp50,000,000, not Rp2 billion.
- : new guides for foreigners: KITAS and KITAP (extensions, conversion, ERP, EPO, address reports and overstay charges under PP 45/2024), BPJS for foreigners and driving licences for foreigners. The Living in Indonesia as a foreigner hub puts every step in order. The ten-year ITAS fee follows PP 45/2024 (Rp12,000,000) rather than Immigration's fee page, last updated on 24 October 2023, and SIM rules for foreigners follow Police Regulation 5/2021, which revoked Chief of Police Regulation 9/2012.
- : six calculators added (PPh 21 net salary, BPJS employee contributions, THR, severance, customs duty on personal goods and late vehicle tax), each tested against official worked examples on every build. Vehicle tax by province now covers nine provinces with PKB rates, opsen, regional apps and the status of 2026 relief programmes.
