Teaching English Job in Bali (ESL)
Hello to all! I am very impressed by your forums and I hope that someone will be able to help me as well. I hold US passport and interested to live and work in Bali. I have Masters in Education/TEFL + French, plus experience.
I am currently in Southern India for another month on a spiritual quest & ayurveda and then I would like to come to Bali. I did not find available teaching jobs on internet. My questions are:
1) Are there ESL jobs in Bali at present?
2) Are there any age requirements/restrictions to get a work permit/visa? (I saw a posting on your website that the English First School advised someone about the age requirements for the visa being between 25 and 50 y.o. Is that really so?? I am 52 y. young.
3) Is it a good strategy to come to Bali for a month on arrival visa and meet with schools for potential employment next year? I have a dog in the States, is it difficult to bring your pet to Bali?
4) I would like to hear back, if possible, from a single female about her experience of living in Bali.
Sorry for so many questions, any feedback will be truly appreciated. Thanks!
Lakrom, your question about dogs is the only one I can address. There is a rabies epidemic currently in Bali and, as a result, no dog importation is allowed. The rabies problem is now being rapidly addressed and will be under control before too long. Then the importation ban should be repealed and this could conceivably happen before you would be ready to move to Bali.Originally Posted by LAKROM

Hi
I am an Aussie female been here about 6 months and funnily enough came here to teach but found that most of the jobs werein Jakarta for teaching............not on this lovely island.
Thus I am now in property sales.
However thats not to say that you shouldnt work on your plan to come here and approach schools. I didnt do that.
I can send you some employment sites that relate to teaching if you want.
Love to keep in touch with you indeed.
Cheers

I am new to your website and still cannot figure out how to add my picture... Please write to me about housing in Bali, what monthly budget should I have to live in Bali? approximate costs for a studio/1 bedroom apartment, those sorts of things. Is it difficult to find a nice place to live? I am so excited to be coming to Bali soon! I hope to meet you and have lunch together one day!
Thank you again to all who answered,

trying to get in touch with you
Dear Veuve, I sent you an email, I am not sure if you got it as I am still learning the website:)) Thank you for your post, I would like to be able to talk to you in person, is it allowed? I added you as a friend, I am particularly interested in your experience moving to Bali alone. Lana

I sent you a response but I don't see it here, I am writing again, just in case. Thank you so so very much - I contacted the agency and they asked me to send my CV! I will let you know. Please send me other local websites if you have any in mind. Lana
Thank you!
Polyanna, thank you for the info, good to know. I have to face the fact that I need to figure out how to bring the dog to Bali, PROVIDED i find a job here. First things first, though. If you know anything about the process, paperwork involved or costs, as well as if there's a quarantine, please email me. If you know anybody who had brought a dog to Bali, I would like to connect to them. How long are you in Bali, if I may ask? Lana
Don't see my replies to you!
Spicyayam, I sent you 2 replies and was told that they will be posted after the moderator sees them? What does it mean? other replies worked, just now sent a reply to Polyanna. Anyway, so you know, i called the agency, they want my CV. I will try to stay in touch after I figure out how your website works :=) LanaThere was an recently in the Bali Advertiser that you you might be interested in:
In normal times when there is not a ban on all dogs entering Bali there is a 2 week quarantine period in Jakarta. Some people don't like the idea of the quarantine and work things out to get their pets through quarantine in a few days. Our dogs went through the two weeks in quarantine while we lived in a hotel and hurriedly looked for a place to live that would allow 2 large dogs and a cat. I have been told by a few sources that the animals are treated weil in quarantine and our dogs, except for being very smelly, seemed happy and well treated. The cat lost weight but that was probably because she was traumatized by the air travel and being away from us rather than the treatment she received. She was calm when she arrived and didn't seem as though she had been ill-treated.
They were brought in by Groovy Pets from Jakarta to Bali and they liked the Groovy handler and he seemed to like them. The best way to learn costs for transport from Jakarta to Bali may be to contact Teresia at Groovy Pets. You also will have veterinary expense in your home country in order to satisfy the Indonesian requirements and you will have pet transport expense. We moved to Bali from Australia and used DogTainers. They were excellent. All this was expensive but for us it was not a choice. We weren't going to leave them behind. Had they not been able to come we wouldn't have either. Groovy checked on our pets while they were in quarantine and were very good about keeping in communication with us.
We moved to Bali in June so we are new-comers.
