I have just returned to Australia from a one month visit to Bali,this is my 16th visit to Bali over the last 10 years.I am going to lease a small hotel in Bali and employ locals to work within the hotel.I will be living in the hotel to oversee the operations and will be doing all the marketing and bookings.I have 12 years experience in the hotel industry in both London and Australia and I have done a lot of research in Bali and have decided that the best option for me is to Lease rather than Buy a small hotel.
I have a couple of reliable contacts in Bali but I would be interested in comments from anyone regarding what they think would be the best type of visa for me to apply for,I am over 55 but do not want to apply for the Retirement Visa as this would mean that I could not work.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone regarding the type of Visa and also any info that they feel would be advantageous for me to know regarding Leasing a small hotel ( 10 to 15 rooms ) Thank You

    Welcome to the forum Krispy. You posted this in the blog section, which is fine, but you might get more responses if you post questions in either the [URL="http://balipod.com/business-bali-f21/"]business[/URL] or [URL="http://balipod.com/bali-visa-questions-answers-f42/"]visa[/URL] section of the forum.

    Only the working visa allows you to work legally in Indonesia, so that is what you want to get. I imagine you are starting or taking over a company, that company should be able to sponsor you for the visa.

    Krispy.
    Seems like best for you to get a kitas and workpermit especially if you will be hands on in that venture.
    some good articles recently in Bali Times for foreigners investing in Bali without getting shafted.
    Maybe worth a read.

    Good idea Tony Stephens,

    Enough details will definitely attach some interesting investors.
    Do you own anything in Bali at the moment?

    Yeah, I have three rental properties that generate a decent living. Been here 15 years so have seen a few mates get into nasty situations because of being too trusting. Cant understand when some people get surrounded by smiling faces they throw caution to the wind and fall for the first scam that comes their way. Usually it is my fellow countrymen, Ozzies, that fall foul of these scams. the Eoropeans and poms seem to be more circumspect.
