HI Priscillia

What is the best season/time of the year to move to Indonesia, and why?

- First depends in which area you want to move to Indonesia, for example in Jakarta will not effect much but in Bali yes it will since many expat wanna live in Bali or Work in Bali. For the rest city in Indonesia should be fine.. it has less expats

How do rent prices fluctuate based on the different seasons?

- Again it depends in which city in Indonesia


Is there a change in the job market depending on the seasons, such as job availability?

- What Job you looking for? Normally in Indonesia, expats bit hard to get the job vacancy. First either you have to open your own business or you work for an establish company that need your higher skill.

Are there any seasonal festivals or cultural events that would allow you to learn about the country?

- Yes we do have

During which season did you move? How did it go?

What is the best season/time of the year to move to Indonesia, and why?

Not really

How do rent prices fluctuate based on the different seasons?

Except (possibly) in the holiday areas, they don't much.

Is there a change in the job market depending on the seasons, such as job availability?

This depends on many factors but, for those intending to work as teachers, contracts usually start in July as that's the start of the new year.
Other employers could want you to start at any time.

Are there any seasonal festivals or cultural events that would allow you to learn about the country?

A lot, far too many to mention but the major religious holidays are fixed to the international calendar.
Some are massive, the Muslim Ramadan fasting month being easily the biggest but Christmas is a big one as well.

What are the times of year to avoid for expatriation to Indonesia?

Ramadan is probably best avoided for new expats from non-Muslim countries as you're very likely to commit a cultural faux pas or several.
Also, I would strongly advise avoiding turning up in Bali on their day of silence as unwitting new expats could very well cause a stir.

During which season did you move? How did it go?

Ramadan, and it hard work that first year.
