Just a suggestion, but perhaps you can contact a U.S. Bank that has an office in Indonesia. If your bank has a u201ccorresponding banku201d in Indonesia, that too should be helpful. Keep in mind that numerous foreign banks have operated in SE Asia for many years. I lived in Malaysia for 14 years and never had any difficulties regarding banks. Actually, I found that bank employees in SE Asia appear to be more knowledgeable with international banking than U.S. or Canadian ones. Iu2019m Canadian and I also lived in the USA for 20 years, so Iu2019ve been exposed to all of them for both business and personal banking.A note of caution, Indonesia has a reputation for u201cdirtyu201d dealing, particularly when L/Cu2018s and large sums of cash are involved. Itu2019s a very corrupt country.If your father plans on bringing his life savings with him, I would strongly recommend that he consider banking in Singapore for his main cash holdings, transactions etc., and just have the bank you choose there (in Singapore) transfer only the funds you require for each month or quarter etc. Singapore has very strict laws and very little corruption, if any, and your banking requirements would be very safe. Singapore is virtually next door to Indonesia and even big business Indonesians do the majority of their banking there!The following is unrelated to your question, Actually, in all my years (Iu2019m also retired now) I have never met anyone who wanted to retire in Indonesia. Philippines yes, Thailand yes, and also Vietnam. All three have beautiful landscapes, beaches and are very inexpensive to live in. The people are very friendly and English is widely spoken. In fact just recently, I have been thinking about relocating to either Chang Mai in Thailand or Cebu in the Philippines. u201cAllu201d of these countries cities are crowded, busy and hot, but for some reason loved living there!Sorry for the long-winded message! Best regards and please send my u201cgood lucku201d wishes to your Dad.
