Hi Everyone
I am moving to Bali in May for 6months, I was wondering what people do with their bank account? My bank is in Perth and everytime i withdraw money from an atm in Bali it costs me $5.00. As i dont want to bring a large amount of cash with me, is it possible to open a bank account with a local bank in Bali? Or would i better copping the $5.00 Westpac fee everytime i use an atm?
I have been looking in Bali advertiser and numerous websites for places to rent I think I should be ok, my budget is approx $7000.00 AUD for 6 months accommodation, do you think i will be able to find a 2bed, 2bath house for this?
In regards to medical insurance is it best just to take out a 6month travel insurance policy?
Also I am considering buying a car, how do people pay for big items? Visa card or can you get a bank check in Bali?
Sorry for all the questions, I have been to Bali 18times over the past 10yrs but never looked into living their before
any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Lindsey
