Sorry to barge in Ninas thread!Hello everyone, Thank you for accepting me in this forum. My name is Namit, just turned 40 and I am moving to Bali. My flight is on 14th Jan. 2024. I am also looking for a partner for Airbnb/Hostel or Hotel Business. I can invest up to $250,000/- USD Immediately. If any local or expat wants to collaborate and start a hospitality business.

Do you have even the ghost of an idea what your business plan needs to start it here and now?Hello everyone, Thank you for accepting me in this forum.

I have no idea how you will be able to find an honest partner in Bali. All I know is that you will not be short of helpful "friends" here if you let people know you have 1/4 million USD burning in your pockets ready for "immediate" spending.Hello everyone, Thank you for accepting me in this forum.

I agree with you about the difficulties one would face starting new in a new place. I reach Bali on 15th Jan . If I don't find and credible partners or plans . I will get back to my home country.Do you have even the ghost of an idea what your business plan needs to start it here and now?
Some context: I built a villa in the east of the island about 15 years ago and paid around the same as you're showing up with now.
I was down south " where the action all is" last week and shopped around - I would now have to pay about 3 or 4 times my investment now to put up the same place! And I live in the still cheap part of the island.
If you want to start something and have any hope for success you'll need 4 times that money you have, nerves of carbon fiber, luck of the Irish, balls of steel and a working knowledge of Indonesian language and bureaucracy plus 10 billion IDR as an initial investment.
Airbnb rental? Here is some news. Authorities are keen to increase tax revenue so all current informal rentals will have to get permits/license's and start paying taxes.I just thought there would be more people like me who want to settle in Bali but don't have the 660k USD to own a fully foreign company. So we can collaborate , pool in and partner up. I also thought a good backpacker hostel or a good Airbnb would give good rental income along with the property appreciation..
Aren't there more people like that ?
keeping in mind, everything said above, you may want to follow up with some larger, established visa agents regards the Investor Visa (Index 313, 314).I just thought there would be more people like me who want to settle in Bali but don't have the 660k USD to own a fully foreign company. So we can collaborate , pool in and partner up. I also thought a good backpacker hostel or a good Airbnb would give good rental income along with the property appreciation..

I suspect you are more likely to find these people on the facebook community forums, canggu ubud etc .....I just thought there would be more people like me who want to settle in Bali but don't have the 660k USD to own a fully foreign company.

lol Markit looks like you are an old dog that needs to learn some new tricks - how long have you lived in Bali now?Just another small heads up: most people tend to make running errors when talking about the money here and leave out or add zeros (0) when splashing around with numbers as friend above did with his 1M. Now I'm betting he either meant 1 billion = approx $50k US or 1 million IDR which is about $50, but for sure not $1 million, so you can see the problem.
and you expect new arrivals to know this exactly how? Generally in the west "m" is the designation for "million" hence my posting.lol Markit looks like you are an old dog that needs to learn some new tricks - how long have you lived in Bali now?
1 M is 1 Miliar = 1 B (billion) bule Ribu
1 Jt is 1 M million bule Ribu
local knowledge is useful sometimes
