Comment on 10 dumb mistakes foreigners make moving to Bali by Rallentanda

I am renting a house in Bali. It was new so I thought I would not have any problems during the monsoon season. I do. The house is uninhabitable because of wet walls mould and problems with the roof. As you know you must pay in advance. It is difficult to get owners to fix things once they have your money. So make sure you have lots of money set aside for house repairs. If you do not like Indonesian food and only want to cook with western vegetables and cuts of meat your food bills will be more expensive than at home.Learn Balinese. They are always impressed because so few Westerners or other Indonesians can speak their language.It is very difficult to find reliable and efficient management which becomes a problem if your are away a lot and not there to supervise.I think this is a worldwide problem anyway.
I am an Australian so Bali is close to home and inexpensive to get to. I would advise anyone travelling or living in Bali to have medical insurance, funds for a recuperation stay in a hotel and an airline ticket out. I contracted pneumonia there a couple of weeks ago. If you get really sick ring BIMC in Denpasar and they will send an ambulance to collect you.This hospital is extremely expensive but everyone speaks English and is probably the best in this location. However I was prescribed some medication which has not been in use in the west for the past 15 years. Western doctors or nurses are not permitted to practise medecine in Bali. I have painted the worst case scenario but these are things one should be aware of when planning on living in the third world.

Saudara Andrea ..

Mengenai Cv, tergantung Cv kecil, atau sedang ?

Juga tergantung di buat di wilayah Bali yang mana ?

Juga tiap Notaris tentu nya memiliki fee yang beda – beda untuk biaya pembuatan Cv.

Semua tidak bisa di pastikan begitu aja, tergantung banyak hal terutama di Bali juga memiliki aturan sendiri untuk dapatkan Cv.

Tiap daerah memiliki aturan masing – masing.

Terima kasih

Hi,

I am a Pakistani resident, currently residing in Singapore.
I booked an air ticket and also paid for the accommodation but when I went up to the Indonesian Embassy for visa they informed me that I have to have a sponsor letter for visa.
I do not know who to contact for the letter.

Regards

selamat malam mba,
insya Allah tahun depan tanggal 12-12-2012, saya akan menikah, namun saya bingung tentang bangaimana urusnya. saya punya pasangan orang india, WNA, agama Hindu, dan mempunyai istri. saya sudah pacaran dengannya selama hampir 3 tahun. selama 3 tahun, dia yang telah membiayai kuliah saya. saya mau tanya, Apakah mungkin saya dan dia bisa menikah secara sah di mata hukum? dia mau pindah agama, tapi saya tidak ingin dia menceraikan istrinya yang WNA juga.

My wife and I are moving to Bali as soon as we sell our condo in Chicago. We set up a PMA corporation and our own company is sponsoring us for our KITAS. I wanted to be able to work if I chose to without worry of the imigrasi catching us. It took 10 days to set up the PMA. We used a well connected law firm in Denpasar. Contact me if you want to talk to our lawyer.
