Few of these organizations are set up to send information overseas, most are oriented to assisting those expats already living in Jakarta. When calling these organizations from overseas, add the country code for Indonesia (62), then the city code for Jakarta (21) before the phone number. Though every attempt is made to keep this listing as up to date as possible, please remember that by nature the expatriate community is transient with new members arriving and old members leaving literally every day. If you are aware of any errors in the material please send us an email. Upcoming
