Hello, Mary here from Juba, South Sudan in Africa. I will be working for an NGO in Jakarta for a year. During that time, i would like to interact with great friends for life, have fun, learn new cultures and traditons. Some adventures too

Thank you for the warm welcome!

This will be a hello and goodbye. When I was in the sign up process, I was asked for my current location, which, at the time, was Indonesia.
As I was in the process of moving to Cambodia, I got stuck in transit.
Goodbye Indonesia, hello Cambodia.

My name is Peter,

My wife and I are hoping to move to Bali (Sanur) by this time next year. We have already rented a villa with a pool and will be subletting it a little but then moving in next January or February.

We will both be 50 and hoping to stay on social visa's till we reach 55. Any advice would be great. We have a budget in mind which I hope is realistic ;-)

Good to have found this forum.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Perhaps I could invite you to post adverts in the appropriate classified sections as they aren't allowed on the open forums.

You can find classifieds by clicking on 'handy tools' at the top of this page.

Hi, nice to be here

I am (still) coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
My partner and I have a plan - to move to Bali.
We're in love with the culture, the way of life, and of course - the beautiful nature.

I am a German teacher working for 11 years, open for other working possibilities in Bali, too.

Hi Retired Bali,
perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing with us some of your experiences, since you have been living there for 20 years.

How did you decide to move to Bali? Did you have any problems with visas etc.?

I think everything would be interesting to hear.

Hi,

My name is Jean and I'm from Ireland but have been living in London the last 6 years. I am hoping to move to Bali in April and am currently looking for jobs in marketing / wellbeing / yoga / branding / administration / social media.
I have 6 years experience working in marketing agencies and more recently a yoga and wellbeing studio as a marketing manager. I also qualified as a yoga teacher last year in Thailand so the opportunity to teach would also be great.
I wonder if anyone had any advice on where I should be looking for jobs and accommodation.
Look forward to hearing from you all!

Jean

Hi, welcome to the forum, and welcome to Indonesia.

First is harsh - Forget the yoga as you'll never get a work permit in a million years. Attending classes is no problem but you can't instruct without risking getting into serious trouble.

Hi Fred,

Ok, thanks for the tip. Do you have any idea about marketing jobs and if there are any good websites or recruitment agencies I could contact? I am currently in London and aiming to move in a month's time.

Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks,
Jean

So you're clear ..

Indonesia has an unemployment problem and Bali has strict immigration rules as so many people want to work there.

To work legally you need:
A work permit (only available to people who have skills unavailable from the local workforce).
A valid visa of whatever sort, that being a KITAS for foreigners employed in Indonesia.

I'm unfamiliar with that Industry so can be of little help.
Sounds like a google job, starting by identifying companies in the appropriate field.
One tip, if any company asks you to pay visa or whatever fees, they're scammers so don't.

ok, thank you for that!

hi

i'm michele and currently living in jakarta
looking for a travelling friend (backpacker style) to thousand islands,
only available in sunday 

fyi, i lived in bali for 6 years, maybe i can give you some advice 

Hi all,
I am ammah from jakarta, indonesia, i am looking for job to other country, can you provide information to me, how do I get it?.


Regards,
Ammah

First and foremost you do need a Passport for international travelling.. If you have any relative or friend abroad, you can visit him or her and can search for job there.. Otherwise there are such government ministries which announce positions for job abroad so you may ask from concerned authorities in Indonesia..

First day of indonesia.... going alone.... uhuhuhuh

Indonesia is a wonderful, friendly country - I'm sure you'll love everything but the traffic.

yes, indeed that's the ferocious truth here
.
just for travelling from Jakarta airport ( soekarno hatta ) to Bekasi it took approx. of 2&1/2 hours for me

A lot of people don't believe how bad the traffic is, so ignore the advice to live as close as possible to work, or at least be on a good public transport route.
They always find out when they get here.

However, your trip seems to have taken a long time as most is toll roads and only parts of them are atrocious, most being fine or just terrible.

However, I'm living in Hotel Harris & Convention Centre @ Bekasi and got few of the loyal friends who will be helping out me for exploring Indonesia...
I really want to thank the creators of such an awesome site helping out the whole world...

Abdulghani khan, welcome to indonesia, i hope you enjoy your holiday here.
