Does anybody know WHY this six month requirement is in place? It seems to be a wide spread requirement not just Indonesia.
The issue that annoys me is that you pay for a five year validity when you obtain your passport but can only use it for 4.5 months.
How long before some twerpy little bureaucrat somewhere decides to make the six month residial period is extended to 12 months thus effectively reducing a 5 years passport to a 4 year one. And don't expect the cost to come down accordingly.
