Questions about the new immigration law

(Mike) Hi , Just a couple of questions for you regarding the Immigration Amendment Bill just passed.
1. Any idea how long this may take to percolate thru the system and become factual and someone can actually apply for a P.R..
2. A slightly different subject, what would be the scene as regards "fiscal tax " in this event and also is there any known activity regarding the abolition of said fiscal as was declared last year.



(Kelly) Hi Mike, I can answer question 2 immediately. Fiscal has already been abolished as of January this year. I just travelled to Singapore over the weekend and just pay the normal departure tax at check-in of rp150,000. Then straight thru immigration. I'll see what I can find out on the other but usually doesn't happen over night.
