Smile! Is Indonesia a good opportunity?

Post new topic

saraerika

Hi, I'm Erika, I really would like to move to Indonesia, Bali. I'm 20 yo and I've studied foreign languages (english, german, spanish).

I also know a little bit of Dutch, french and chinese.

I've worked a lot in my small life and I have a lot of passions: singing, cooking, theatre, guitar and smile 😁!

Is Indonesia a good opportunity?

Thanks for the attention!

Welcome to the forum Erika.

Moving to Bali is one thing how to make a living here is a totally other thing.

If you do not have enough funds you will not be able to stay for long. Forget about looking for a job, it is almost impossible for foreigners to legally work in Indonesia.

I would strongly suggest that you read here thru the various topics (visa/work etc) to learn how difficult it is to obtain a work permit.

Cheers

Fred

Welcome to the forum.
As HH said, watch out for the cash situation. You'll have a hard time finding legal work over there.
