Wanting to move to bali

welcome to Expat.com, rueboy!

Hi Rueboy,

congratulation to your relationship in Bali,

live in bali is actually cheap if we live for standar cost, 10.000 AUD is quite enough for 6 month, but it will not enough too if you take a high lifestyle, for that amount you must lease just apartment (not a house-cost that expensive for that amount), we called it KOS (apartment) , it can be payed for 1-3 million rupiah/month,

so with that stabdaar life you can survive in bali.

may it helps you...

Hi
There are 3 questions towards the end of your post the answer to all is Yes..However Seminyak area is among the most expensive in Bali, so consider adjoining areas also
Good luck

hey ,,
you got the same case as my friend..
the question number:
1. yes, you can but then you need to do some research first but if you only stay here 6 months then i dunno what kinda business you wanna run. n if you wanna work u need to have kitas (permission working) ,,.
2. that amount is enough depends on the lifestyle..
for your consideration, a house in Kerobokan area is rent out for 24 million rupiah per year which is not so far from seminyak
3. i think its possible to rent a house for 6 months and if you wanna stay in a villa there are so many villas in seminyak you can rent whatever long you want

Rueboy,

If you are planning to live your life like a real expat who is sent by mother company to come to work in Indonesia, then AUS$ 10,000.00 won't give you room to breath for as long as 6 months.

However, if you are planning to live your life just like any Indonesian who can be considered as mid-income employees, then those amount will help you to live as long as 1 year without a job, max. spending of Rp. 9,000,000.00/month (which is pretty good life for the locals).

Finding a job is easy, finding a good job or good position is in questions.

All in all, good luck to you.
