I totally stuck to the blog, the truth that because of the English TV English of the world that this time It fell to Bali and was the month of November, I received dozens of emails from people who want to come and live in Bali and to businesses and dozens of emails from people who want to volunteer to come to the NGO and I have been totally overwhelmed with this issue.
Also during the month of December I had to prepare the final reports of two projects we have carried out one for one year and two years and I've been super busy with these issues, as well also during the month of December 1 Mallorca person has volunteered to make a Web page in English and have also opened a Facebook page, so honestly I have no time to update the post I hope to do gradually this year.
the moment for people who want to come to live in Bali, the first to recommend that you go by the English-speaking forum www.balipod.com , this is a forum for expatriates and all questions and doubts that you may have on the issue should go to live in Bali are sure the forum as this is a forum for foreigners living in Bali and for those who are considering come and live here.
All kinds of questions such as visas, accommodation, businesses, schools ... ... ... ... ... are answered there, just be patient and look for is a very comprehensive forum and an information super good. I
field day I move I have no much information as you can afford to live in Bali or how to start a business or how much houses cost, most foreigners living in the area of \u200b\u200bJimbaran and Kuta and sincerely I'm not moving through the area more than strictly necessary, after Jimbaran and Kuta, Sanur and Ubud are the most popular areas for foreigners.
whole issue of rent also depends very much that, in the area where people want to live.
On the issue of visas, these visas are known to me and I have knowledge
- tourist visa 30 days, give it to you on arrival visa
- two months or 60 days, you've got to seek out of Indonesia in any of the embassies.
- social visa for six months, it must also apply from outside Indonesia, but there are people who came with a visa for 60 days and were able to extend the visa up to six months of the visa office. To get a social visa you need a sponsor in Indonesia now fashionable for travel agents to sponsors if people do not have one. So Indonesia is entering a social visa of 6 months until two months do not have to do anything and then have to renew the visa every month until completrar six months and pay to get it renewed (usually usually cost about of Rp 600,000 per month) and six months out of Indonesia to Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur (they are the most popular sites and cheap) and reapply for another visa office of six months.
- Then there is the visa or work permit and residence, called KITAS and I served for five years, but this visa is a visa so you have to to the person or company that hires you is renewed each year up to five years, and can get between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 rp per year. The company has to pay taxes or fees for having a foreign employee.
- There is also a visa for retired or elderly (age not remember now).
ride On the subject of business, honestly I think Bali is already heavily exploited, Australians, French, Dutch, Japanese ... ... .. here have been around for many years and is now very difficult to see an empty building and rent.
I would recommend people come first take a look, live if you can here for at least two months and find yourself information you are looking for well know directly how things in this country.
For those who want to come to volunteer, tell that little by little I will try to answer your emails, but for now tell you that there is too much work here unless you be physiotherapists, the only thing I can offer is the experience to be a few days with us, share the day to day, and international play with our kids but interact in activities and doing things very simple.
forgive you not have replied to the post, but really really, that I am totally overwhelmed by work, last year we also opened another center in northern Bali, and now are two centers and we have a store, and there are always thousands of things in day to day in the NGO.
I wish you all that you have had a good start this year and this year comes loaded with health, happiness and solidarity.
Greetings from Ubud
solidarity
