Hi all,

Newbie on the Indonesia forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Indonesia if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hi everyone 👋,

I’m Yati Beeler from Singapore & my husband is a Swiss. We’re residing in Switzerland at the moment after 15 years living & working in China.

We’re planning to retire in the near future either in Bali or Thailand.

Hopefully, this group will help us decide, where to move to😉.

Hello Yati,


Welcome to Expat.com 😀


You can start your research by reading our Living in Indonesia: the ultimate expat guide, where you will probably find all the necessary information you need to make this a success.


Feel free to start a new thread on the Indonesia / Bali forum to ask your questions and discuss any topic with members who are already there.


The same applies to the Thailand forum as well.


Wishing you all the best,


Cheryl
