Before making a decision, it’s worth honestly answering a few questions 👇🏻
1️⃣ Do you understand which visa you’ll be living on
– how long you’re allowed to stay
– whether it can be extended
– whether you need to leave the country
If this isn’t clear yet, that’s okay. The important thing is not to leave it for later.
2️⃣ Are you ready for the local pace of life
Everything moves more slowly here.
Ceremonies, traffic, rain that doesn’t follow the forecast – it’s all part of daily life.
If you know how to slow down and adapt, you’ll feel comfortable.
3️⃣ You don’t expect perfect order
Sidewalks may suddenly end,
roads can get narrow, and logic may differ from what you’re used to.
4️⃣ You understand that service works differently here
It can be very warm and genuine,
but not always fast or strictly “by the book.”
5️⃣ You’re comfortable living closer to nature
Geckos and humidity are part of the tropics,
but in return you get greenery all year round, fresh air,
and a feeling of life beyond concrete cities.
6️⃣ You know where and how you want to live
Bali is very diverse:
ocean, jungle, quiet or lively areas.
It’s important to choose a location that fits your lifestyle.
7️⃣ You have a stable source of income
Life in Bali can be affordable,
but peace of mind starts with understanding your budget.
8️⃣ You’re ready for the “hop on and go” lifestyle
There’s almost no public transport.
A scooter or a car becomes part of everyday life.
9️⃣ You understand that Bali is not just a holiday
People live, work, raise children, and build everyday life here – like in any other country –
while often enjoying life more than in big cities.
🔟 You give yourself time to adapt
The first weeks can feel exciting – or overwhelming.
That’s normal. Life here opens up gradually.
If you recognize yourself in most of these points,
you may truly be ready to stay in Bali longer 🌿
