    Wina,

    Most online programs will not care where you live - I went to school online at the University of Wyoming and was in several classes with a gentleman attending from China. You will have to deal with the time differences, but in my experience, that was not difficult, and actually worked to my advantage, because I got off work with several hours left in the business day at my school, so it was easy to talk to profs, work with my advisor, etc.

    Cheap, on the other hand, is relative. You could get a quality MBA degree for under $20K pretty easily, but I don't know if that fits your definition of cheap. What's your budget?

    You might want to look at UNISA

    Unisa Online

    It's a well known university and will be among your cheapest options.

    Kizmet, how much UNISA would approx. cost for the Masters program ?

    Moreover, they have very complex procedures to enroll ?

    Take a look at Edinburgh Business School - it gives generous discounts to indonesia based students and a distance MBA is less than $10k. They have a exam facility in Jakarta too I believe.

    Closer to home: Malaysia?

    Hi

    Last I looked, Malaysia had at least 4 or 5 well-regarded distance schools - and when I last looked at fees (maybe 2 years ago) an MBA could be earned for roughly $5,500 or $6,000 USD.

    Schools I remember are Universiti Sains Malaysia and Malaysia Open Unversity. There are at least 2 others...Wawasan Open U. and ....?

    There's an old DI thread (2005) on Malaysian Schools here:

    http://www.degreeinfo.com/accreditation-discussions-ra-detc-state-approval-unaccredited-schools/21083-malaysian-distance-learning-institutions.html

    I'm sure at least some of the schools will now accept non-residents of Malaysia. Worth looking into.

    I looked up MBA fees and THIS is what I got! MBA.co.za - University of South Africa Graduate School of Business Leadership -
    Engadnan - they have been called difficult to deal with...but somehow or other, that's supposed to be a myth, per this thread:

    http://www.degreeinfo.com/general-distance-learning-discussions/23122-unisa-registration.html

    If UNISA isn't what you want, try:

    (1) Jonnie's Distant Learning Page AggieTechie by Dr. Jonathan Liu. Nearly 300 MBAs, 65 non-US.
    (2) MBA Programs Worldwide - FIND MBA World-wide, listed by country
    (3) If you want the absolutely least expensive US MBA degree, (~$4,000) try New Charter U - The former Andrew Jackson U.

    That school charges $1300-$1400 a term, regardless of credits. If you can take 12 credits (4 courses) in a four-month term, you can complete the degree in a year at a cost of ~4K. It's accredited, not RA but Nationally, (DETC). I don't know whether that's acceptable in Indonesia or not. If it is -- it's about as inexpensive as it gets. They're at www.new.edu

    Johann has been very generous with the information he has provided and I would add only one more thing. One of the ways that many people pay for their education is through their employers. Some jobs allow the employee and sometimes even family members to attend college at no or reduced cost. It's possible to imagine that a person might accept a position in a company that offered such benefits and that even if their actual paycheck was relatively small, taking into consideration the added educational benefit they might be getting a very good deal. This may not apply to you or your situation but it's something to think about and investigate. Best of luck.
