social visa

I'm from Singapore, i plan to settle down in Bali, take up a course in the Indonesian language and look for a job. I'm not on any visa which i know it's a huge risk but i'm hoping to find a sponser for my social visa before my stay expires. So for now, i've only got up to 30 days to stay in...

It looks like there are many options for staying long-term in Bali...here is my plan. I am going to be in Sg for a few days anyway, so I will use an agent there to get a 60 day tourist visa. I will get this extended to six months and do it again. My questions: theoretically (or...

Maybe you're asleep or on vacation and do not check all of the comments on this Website. In the past, I have noticed the problem with "New Posts" and the fact that new posts or new comments are NOT ALL REGISTERED on the "New Posts" thread. I did not bother to point it out until now, thinking...

I meant to ask these questions for some time. SO, here there are 1) Why when one posts a "new post" or put a comment about an old post, the new post or the comment do NOT appear under "What's New" or "New Post?" :icon_evil: 2) Why are the posts under "What's New," and "New Posts" the same...

Hi, I know there are some samples on this blog of sponsership letters for social visa's but I have emailed them to a friend (in Bali) and they said they seemed out of date? Can any one suggest or email me a copy of a current letter that I can give to my Indonesian sponser, (I'm trying to avoid...

Helloo!! I've been following these forums for a while now so I decided to introduce myself! My name is Michelle, I'm 30 and I recently moved to Bali with my husband who works offshore (3 weeks on, 3 weeks off). Originally I'm from Scotland but I've lived in Sydney for the last 8 years. We...

Hi everyone, I've just joined up and wanted to say hello! I've read a number of posts and have found some useful information so I hope my questions haven't already been answered and I've just not found them A bit about me: I'm 30 years old and currently live in London. Have been visiting...

I am a freelance writer with a Hong Kong corporation set up. I am seriously considering relocating to Bali, as I can do my work from anywhere, and figure why not! I am wondering how I should proceed. I think setting up a registered office of a foreign company would make things easier with...

Hi...I'm coming in for the first time on a 211 Social Budaya Visa...is there an expedited line at DPS airport since I have already paid, or do I have to stand in line with the people getting their tourist visa on arrival? Thanks in advance...

Hi I just came back from my first ever trip to Bali. WOW! I had a blast and I think I'm in love! Can't wait to go back. This time for 3 months. Thanks for all the info. This forum is fantastic! Cheers!

I will be moving to moving in about 6 months. You can really help me and others out by addressing the following: 1. Retirement visa versus multiple business visa -- which is better given all the issues -- FISKAL, Indonesian taxes, buying a car in Bali, getting drivers license, etc. What...

hello, just joined the expat forum recently and so far I have found many answers and questions too. I´ve been to bali a couple of times - the longest stay being 6 months in 2008 (on a social visa without working). This time I will be staying for 6-12 months and I am currently working on...

Was talking to someone in the know about Bule working in Bali and some of the problems involved when he pointed out a further problem that I hadn't even considered and I'm betting many of you out there hadn't either. Lots have asked about working here on a social visa and have been generally...

(Also an aid to the just mildly deluded) Anyone that considers the option of the one day visa run is mainly interested in saving money and time – things that are better spent on Bali rather than, say, Singapore – in my not-so-humble opinion. Take any airline from Bali as long as it gets you to...

Hello all- I recently accepted a year long teaching position in Denpasar and would like to live in the Sanur area. I have done extensive research on the web as well as picking through this entire forum, and haven't found too much useful information. Since I will be here for at least 1 year, I...

Hi All, I'm just about to embark on my first visa run to Singapore (to get a new 60 day tourist visa) and see from past postings that a lot of people are using an agent there to pick up their passport from their hotel, get the visa sorted out, and then return it back to them, all within a day...

Hi everyone. I've been reading this forum for quite some time now and you all seem very friendly and knowledgeable. So I have a question that I am hoping you'll be able to answer. A small group of my friends and I are planning to go to Bali for a long stay (couple of years or more) this fall...

Hi people :) just an easy question about what is the maximum amount that can be taken out of an indonesian atm with just one withdrawal ? Thankyou very much in advance :mrgreen:
