That's for the responses. If I have this right is might help feel more comfortable but it.would help the house and contents either way. Read More
Return to Bali by grenadier
I have lived in Bali for 21 years on a business visa, 12 months multi entry. It served my purpose over the years as I was in and out of indonesia very frequently. A couple of months ago I needed to go back to UK, however, now I need to go back to ...
I find this thread bizarre. If I apply to Jakarta for B211 (Visit Visa) and am approved (by Telex), I then send to my Embassy to have it put in my passport. Following this I enter through Jakarta airport and am allowed in – regardless of what ... Read More

Maid claiming my friends stole her money and phone by Petermet
We had a new maid start with us late February. At the beginning of March we returned to Australia for a planned 3 week trip and got caught in the Covid lockdown. We have been keeping the maid in work ( although she had no access to the house ...
Thanks everyone for your responses. Given the trust issues this raised we let her go. She stated that she had got the 800k from massage for a friend which unless is a "special" massage is not easily believable. We hired a new person and ... Read More

Looking to retire in Bali by woody54
Hi I am a single man and 57 years old and I love surfing . I am seriously want to live in Bali . I will have about $700,000 AUD in funds after I sell my house . Is that enough money to live well and live in a nice villa with a pool . Thanks Geoff.

I have taken a lease out on a small 3 bedroom house with a small pool. We are going to sublet for the remainder of this year (if we find tenants) then move in next January. We are both 49 and will have just turned 50 when we move. Looking at coming ...
