FAQ
What type of visa do I need to live in Bali long-term?
This will depend on your situation. The KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) is the most common visa for expatriates looking to stay in Bali for the long term, either for work, family, or retirement.
How much does it cost to live in Bali as an expat?
The cost of living in Bali varies depending on your lifestyle. On average, expats spend between $1,500 and $3,000 per month, depending on accommodation, food, and other expenses.
Can I work legally in Bali as an expat?
Yes, but you will need the appropriate visa. The KITAS visa allows you to work in Bali, while other visas may restrict you to certain activities, such as being employed by a foreign company or working remotely.
Do I need health insurance in Bali?
Yes, it’s highly recommended. While Bali has good healthcare facilities, international health insurance ensures you’re covered for medical emergencies and routine care. Some visas also require proof of health insurance.
