Hello everyone,

I want to move to Jakarta and build my life there, but I need advice and support to make it happen. Indonesia is a country I truly appreciate, and I’m highly motivated to find a job and settle down permanently.

I have a security guard diploma and am looking for opportunities in this field or any other sector where my skills might be useful. I know that the job market in Indonesia can be complex for foreigners, so if you have any advice, contacts, or job leads, I would greatly appreciate it!

Beyond work, any help or recommendations regarding housing, administrative procedures, learning Bahasa Indonesia, or integrating into local life would be incredibly valuable.

If anyone has experience with this or knows people who could help me, please feel free to reach out. A huge thank you to everyone who takes the time to support and guide me in this journey!

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your help

I can't help you since I have never worked in Indonesia, and I am not sure if a Security Guard Diploma is going to help you. If that is all you have then perhaps do some research and contact French companies. Since the chances of finding a job here I believe are quite slim, I don't think it is worth discussing housing, integrating into local life, administrative procedures until you have secured a job. Learning Bahasa Indonesia is easy and inexpensive including learning remotely.
