I've received a further reply, which is reproduced here in its entirety:
"
1. Herewith I send to you requirements for applying CAIT.
2. Yes, Indonesian government has new regulation asking for a bond for
yachts. But this is for yacht who are interested to stay in Indonesia for
more than 6 months and doing a charter business. The port who is implemented
this regulation is only Kupang in Timor. So for yacht coming from Darwin, I
suggest not to enter Kupang but other port.
Thank you for posting this e-mail to your forum and best regards from me,
Kus Prodjolalito."
