Sorry Miguel, but I really do not believe there are any controls on the
movement of the rupiah. They were removed in the early or mid 90s.
Could you please specify what these controls are? I have not seen them.

My understanding was that you could not export more than 50000 rupiah.
This
seems to be the consensus among online guidebooks that address the topic.
I
tried to find information about it on Indonesian government sites but soon
gave up due to their lousy indexing (or maybe my lousy search skills).

Just flew in yesterday. The limit on import is Rp.50million. I forgot to
check export - indeed I don't really know where to check as there is no
export Customs form - but I guess it would be the same.
But as I said before the cash in/out movement are probably peanuts comapred
to those through unrestricted banking channels.
