Hi All,
Hope you can give me some advice.
I'm an Engish guy living in Hong Kong and have an Indonesian girlfriend. We'll be getting married later this year and will initially stay in HK. In time we'll leave here and probably return to the UK.
As we both love Bali (holiday visits only - my girlfriend is from Malang) a different option would be to try to make a life on the island.
My question (finally!) concerns where best to get married this year - London, HK, Malang/Bali? My enquiries lead me to believe that she will have residency and working rights in all of these places regardless of where we get married.
For me, however, is there an advantage in terms of gaining residency rights and work permit for Bali by getting married in Indonesia rather than elsewhere?
I'm sure there must be a few forum members who've been in the same position. Any advice will be really welcome.
Jon
