Country in brief

Pros

  1. Huge domestic market (270+ million) with fast growth.
  2. Low cost of living; Bali (Denpasar) and Yogyakarta are inexpensive.
  3. Second Home and investor visas now exist with published conditions.
  4. Tropical climate, nature and a large expatriate scene in Bali.
  5. Young population and a growing digital economy.

Cons

  1. Complex foreign-investment rules and licensing; local nominees are common and risky.
  2. Bureaucracy and corruption risk.
  3. Infrastructure and traffic in Java's cities; natural-disaster exposure (earthquakes, volcanoes).
  4. Healthcare quality varies; evacuation insurance is common.
  5. Indonesian is needed outside Bali's tourist areas; regulation changes quickly.

A month here, for a reference household

Reference household: two adults aged 38 and 37, a one-bedroom home, no children.

Residence fees and health cover are those of Second Home limited stay permit (rumah kedua). The low, middle and high figures are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles where a publisher states them; each line says who published it.

illustrative Money figures on this page are illustrative unless the figure names its publisher. The illustrative ones are arranged so the shape is right — a larger flat costs more than a smaller one, and the expensive cities are the expensive ones — and they are accurate in nothing. Do not plan on them.
