Vivir en Jakarta.
Indonesia's capital and largest city (the DKI Jakarta special region, ~11 million residents): the country's deepest job, services and international-school market, and its main business hub. Hot and humid year-round with a pronounced Nov–Apr wet season, heavy air pollution, and rents far below Western capitals but the highest in Indonesia. Bali is the better-known nomad base; Jakarta is the work-and-infrastructure city.

- Sum of the six Dukcapil regency/city figures for mid-2024: East 3.31M, West 2.61M, South 2.41M, North 1.87M, Central 1.10M, Kepulauan Seribu 0.030M ≈ 11.34M. Jakarta has no separate 'city proper' — the special capital region (DKI Jakarta) IS the city and is the administrative unit for which population is published. Underlying figures are official Dukcapil civil-registration data; recorded as 'curated' rather than 'official' because they were read through a secondary aggregator (Katadata Databoks), the official BPS/Dukcapil tables being JavaScript-rendered and not retrievable here.
- Notas
- Dukcapil civil-registration basis (11.34M, mid-2024). BPS DKI Jakarta's census-based projection (SP2020 series) gives a somewhat lower figure (~10.6–11.0M for 2024); the two official series differ because Dukcapil counts registered residents while BPS projects from the 2020 census. NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: replace with the exact figure directly from the official BPS DKI Jakarta or Dukcapil table (jakarta.bps.go.id / dukcapil.kemendagri.go.id) once one is directly accessible, and set source.type to 'official'.

- BPS March-2024 average per-capita monthly expenditure is Rp 1,500,556 nationally (urban Rp 1,737,427), split food/non-food — but that is a rural-weighted per-capita floor far below a foreign remote worker's outlay. Curated single-person, non-rent urban (Jakarta-level) basket — groceries, eating out, transport/ride-hailing, utilities, mobile+home internet, modest leisure — sits around USD 650–750/month; recorded midpoint USD 700.

- Anchored on the Global Property Guide Jakarta 1-bedroom city-average asking rent (≈USD 505). Location split from GPG's documented 1BR ranges — prime/central IDR 8–15m vs non-prime IDR 4–6m → center ≈ 1.40× and outside ≈ 0.65× the city average. Room scaling from typical Jakarta listing ratios: studio ≈ 0.65× 1BR, 2BR ≈ 1.55× 1BR, 3BR ≈ 2.30× 1BR. Center 1BR = 505×1.40 ≈ 705; outside 1BR = 505×0.65 ≈ 330; other cells scale from these.
- Notas
- ALL cells are DERIVED (city 1BR average × documented location multiplier × room multiplier) — no single source publishes Jakarta rent by room count AND by centre/outside at once, and Numbeo/Expatistan are forbidden. Treat as indicative brackets, not observed cell means. Central = prime CBD (SCBD/Sudirman/Kuningan/Senopati/Kemang); outside = outer/eastern & northern districts. Cross-reads (Colliers Q1 2026, JLL, listing portals) put central premium 2–3BR far higher (IDR 25–45m for expat-ready SCBD units), so central cells here are conservative. NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: replace with a portal market report that publishes room × district cells directly.

Qué mide esto
How accepting the resident population is of migrants and foreigners — the inverse of xenophobia, a real concern for someone relocating. Our own five-band reading (very-open / open / moderate / reserved / low) informed primarily by the Gallup Migrant Acceptance Index (0–9 scale: three questions on migrants living in the country, becoming neighbours, and marrying into the family; 2019 wave), cross-checked where available with the World Values Survey wave 7 / European Values Study 2017 question on whether people would not want immigrants or foreign workers as neighbours (a higher share = more hostile). Banding guide against the Gallup 0–9 score: ≥7.0 very-open, 5.5–7.0 open, 4.0–5.5 moderate, 2.5–4.0 reserved, below 2.5 low (the 2019 global average of 5.21 sits in 'moderate'). Country level only: no credible city-level survey of attitudes to foreigners exists, so on city pages the country reading is shown as country context. Gallup is a research source cited with attribution, not republished in bulk; the raw index score/year and any cross-check figure are carried inside each value. Value shape: { band, gallupMai?, gallupYear?, unwantedNeighborPct?, unwantedNeighborSource? }.

NPPN professional-services norm 50% → net income 616,260,600; minus PTKP TK/0 54,000,000 → PKP 562,260,600; progressive PPh (5/15/25/30%) = 112,678,180 IDR → 9.14% ≈ 9.1%. The 0.5% MSME final tax would give ~0.3% but its 7-year window and professional-services exclusion make it unreliable for a newly-registered foreign IT freelancer, so NPPN is the recorded best.

- BPS March-2024 average per-capita monthly expenditure is Rp 1,500,556 nationally (urban Rp 1,737,427), split food/non-food — but that is a rural-weighted per-capita floor far below a foreign remote worker's outlay.

- Dense, competitive parcel market: Pos Indonesia (national operator) plus JNE, J&T Express, SiCepat, Ninja Xpress and on-demand couriers (GoSend, GrabExpress) give 1–3 day delivery in Java and major cities and same-day intra-city; tracking is standard. Reach to remote islands is slower and address quality is uneven, so 'good' rather than 'excellent'. Parcel-locker networks are limited vs Europe.

- Count of IB-curriculum international schools listed for Greater Jakarta on International Schools Database (28: British School Jakarta, Global Jaya, SIS Kelapa Gading, ACG School Jakarta, Sampoerna Academy, Jakarta Intercultural School, SIS PIK, Stella Maris, Beacon Academy, ACS Jakarta, Sekolah Victory Plus, Mentari Bintaro, Hope Academy, North Jakarta Intercultural, AIS Jakarta, Cikal, BTB, Binus School Simprug, Al Jabr, Tunas Muda, IPEKA, Blossom, Mentari Jakarta, Tzu Chi, SIS South Jakarta, Gandhi Memorial International, Sinarmas World Academy, Sekolah Pelita Harapan). Consistent with multiple aggregators reporting ~28 IB schools in Jakarta and ~70–72 IB World Schools in Indonesia nationally.
- Notas
- IB-accredited schools only; CIS/COBIS/Cambridge/US-accredited schools not additionally counted, so the true accredited total (per the criterion's multi-accreditor definition) is likely HIGHER. Count is 'Greater Jakarta / Jabodetabek' and includes several schools in Tangerang/BSD/Bekasi (Global Jaya, Sinarmas World Academy, Sekolah Victory Plus), not DKI Jakarta proper. NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: the IB World Schools finder (ibo.org/programmes/find-an-ib-school, country=ID) is the required accreditor registry but is JavaScript-rendered and returned 403 to automated fetches — verify each school against the IB finder and add Cambridge/CIS/COBIS members. Scoring is unaffected (anchor caps at 25 schools → 10).

- Comprehensive (outpatient + inpatient, ~USD 1m+ annual limit, small deductible) international/IPMI plans for a healthy 35-year-old resident foreigner in Indonesia are commonly quoted around USD 200–500/month; a mid-tier comprehensive plan midpoint ≈ USD 300/month ≈ USD 3,600/year. Premiums are quoted on request (age/coverage/evacuation dependent), so this is a curated market midpoint, not a public engine quote. Local BPJS Kesehatan (mandatory public scheme for KITAS holders) is far cheaper but not a comprehensive private-cover equivalent.

Corroborated by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), which put every Jabodetabek city at 30–55 µg/m³ for 2024 from Indonesian government and reference-grade monitors. The WHO Ambient Air Quality Database (v8, June 2026, covering 2010–2024) is the criterion's preferred non-Europe source but is distributed only as a bulk Excel download not retrievable here; IQAir's city annual mean is used as the citable single-city figure. Pollution is worst in the dry season (Jun–Oct) from traffic and regional burning.

- Crypto is legal to hold and trade as a regulated digital financial asset (supervision moved from Bappebti to OJK on 2025-01-10 under PP 49/2024; framework in POJK 27/2024 + POJK 23/2025), but is prohibited as a means of payment (only the rupiah is legal tender). Taxed: a final PPh of 0.21% on sales via domestic licensed platforms and 1% via foreign platforms (PMK 50/2025, effective 2025-08-01); VAT on the asset transfer itself was removed. Regulated, not exemption-friendly → 'legal-regulated'.

- Composite: the rupiah is largely convertible and there are no hard capital controls on inbound/outbound personal transfers, but Bank Indonesia requires reporting/underlying-document evidence for FX purchases above a threshold (historically USD 25,000/month per customer without underlying documents), restricts rupiah use offshore, and mandates rupiah for domestic settlement; residents are taxed on worldwide income once tax-resident; foreigners can open local bank accounts but generally need a KITAS/KITAP and NPWP. More friction than a low-control hub, well short of strict capital controls → 'moderate'. NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: the current exact FX-without-documents threshold should be re-verified against a live Bank Indonesia regulation page (fetch was JS-walled).

- Months with mean daily max 15–28°C and precipitation < 150mm. Jakarta's mean daily maximum is 30.8–33.4°C in every month — always above the 28°C comfort ceiling — so no month qualifies: 0 pleasant months. (Even ignoring rain, the temperature ceiling is never met.)
