Thread: jobs in bali???? some help please

Hello everyone!

I am wondering if I can get some advice here.... I am married to my Indonesian husband and I am back in Canada to apply for his permanent resident visa....Which is a very long process.... I have booked a ticket to come back in January to visit.... If we do not get his PR card by then I plan to stay in Bali while we wait...It is to hard to be away...

I will have to work as I am not all that well off as I have traveled back and forth to Bali for one year now....

What kind of jobs can ex-pats have in bali if already married to a local??

I know I will have to get my KITA's but then what??? I have loads of experience in Public Relations-Marketing-Teaching Yoga-Hospitality.... But where do I start? And what are the wages like for ex-pats???

Thank you so much! :D

well after much re-search on this site I am starting to get a little discouraged....

I realize many people come with intentions on living in Bali and leave becuase their dreams have been "shattered" that I undersand....hence why I am here trying to get advice...

What is the chances of doing private yoga classes with my Kita's?????

thank you

hi Anshu,

there are lots of yoga classes and teachers in Bali, do a search on google
yoga+bali+retreats.

you can email them to ask if they require a yoga teacher,
or perhaps take you in under their business name as a casual teacher
or set up your own private classes (which may take time to establish a reliable clientele)

You wont know if you dont try.. so i would start there.. google.,

Apologise Mimpi and Anshu,

i read this as Anshu having a permanent visa (through marriage).

my mistake !

Mimpimanis is right - and on top of that, add the costs of the DPKK, plus a visa/work permit consultant costs, etc.

Frankly speaking, the yoga teaching idea sounds a bit unrealistic. Maybe you should try the other fields (marketing, PR etc).

thank you for your feedback.... You need a PR visa to work leagally then???

thank you all for your information....

I am still a little confused...

Jimbo you say .....
set up my own company but from what I say will be expensive.... Can u please expand on that?? I have established my own company here in Canada before...What is required for me to do so in Indonesia.. Or how do I even start to go about this process?

How do you apply for a work visa if you do not have an Indonesian employer?? I set up a company who will sponsor me for a work permit???

"and on top of that, add the costs of the DPKK, plus a visa/work permit consultant costs, etc....."
What is the DPKK? And what sort of costs am I looking at?

I will cycle through more information on this site..... I know this is a common but complexed issue but any info sure helps :D

:? Anshu
