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 over on the social visa till we hit 55.

In the meantime we are in Sanur for a fortnight in May the the month of October :-)

We have paid for the lease upfront and have have allowed 1,000,000 Rp for the electric.
Internet will be 600,000 to 1,000,000 a month.
Water is from a well.
We have met the local Banjar head and agreed our monthly contribution.

Health insurance we are looking an nomad type annual policy - any problems with this?

food will cost whatever we pay, same with alcohol

What other costs am I missing that I need to concider?

Be careful to make sure subletting is allowed in the contract, and watch out for immigration as they might see this as possibly working as an agent so decide to investigate.

Thanks Fred,

This is allowed on the contract but agree that I need to be careful that I don't appear to be working.
