The total cost depends on your lifestyle and visa type. A digital nomad can get started from $2,500 including visa and initial setup. Family relocations typically range $5,000–$10,000 covering visa, school placement, villa deposit, and banking setup. Monthly living costs range from $1,500 for a modest lifestyle to $5,000+ for luxury living. Our cost calculator gives you a personalized estimate.

Monthly costs by household: Single person $1,000-1,800, couple $1,500-2,500, family of four $2,500-4,500. These ranges reflect the difference between budget living in Ubud and premium lifestyle in Seminyak. Most expats find $1,500-2,000 per person provides a very comfortable lifestyle including villa, food, healthcare, and entertainment.

The most common options are the KITAS (temporary stay permit) for work or retirement, the E33G Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers, the Second Home Visa for those investing $130,000+ in Indonesian banks, and the B211A social/cultural visa for shorter stays up to 6 months.

The process takes 4–6 weeks. Our business setup service handles everything from company registration to tax compliance and work permits.

Foreigners cannot directly own freehold (Hak Milik) property in Indonesia. However, several legal structures enable secure property access: Hak Pakai (Right to Use) for up to 80 years, PT PMA foreign-owned company ownership, long-term leasehold (Hak Sewa) agreements of 25-30 years with extensions, and nominee arrangements (though these carry legal risks).
