When considering a move to Indonesia, you may find yourself wondering

what exactly Indonesia can offer to your life. Indonesia has plenty of fun

things to do, lots of beautiful scenery and a wide selection of homes to suit

any taste. Taking a little time to learn about the country, and even visiting

as a tourist a time or two before planning a move can really help you get a

good idea of what you are about to leap into when you make your move.

Visiting Indonesia First

There are plenty of great things throughout Indonesia. With many high-end

spas, museums and other air-conditioned spaces to relax indoors, or hiking

tours, temples and even the best of water activities like sailing, surfing and

diving to choose from outdoors, you will soon find that this might be one of

the most perfect countries to move to. With a knowledgeable tour guide in

the area, you can learn more about the country as you move about having

fun.

When you’re visiting before a major move, it’s a good idea to take a little

time during your vacation to not only see the sights but to also check out

local homes. When it is time to begin searching for a home to live in, the

only way to find the one that will perfectly match your budget as well as

your personal preferences will be to work with a reputable real estate

professional. A pro in the real estate sector will know where the best homes

for sale are located and will be able to show you the ones that suit you and

your lifestyle best. Many expats flock to Bali for life by the sea where some

of the most beautiful surfside villas are located. The cost of living is

considerably lower when compared to western countries, and while you

may not to live like a king on a pauper’s income, you’ll be happy to know

that in most financial endeavors you will save a little money. You can

expect to pay nearly 46% less in Indonesia than you would in the U.S. for

typical expenses ranging from dining out to rent, utilities and much more.

country unless the owner has a diplomatic status. The appropriate PP-8

form is required for shipment of all types of vehicles. In addition to this

transportation with buses, taxi cabs and even motorbikes. You can even

find travel options with horse-drawn carts as well as minivans in Indonesia.

personal property shipments to ensure a seamless move. Indonesia has

plenty to offer the new resident and when you make your move, you should
