Permanent Residents community in Bali
About this group

No return flight booked. Bali stopped being a trip a long time ago.

KITAP holders, foreign investors and mixed-heritage households make up this small, quiet group, the deepest well of knowledge on actually living in Indonesia long-term rather than just visiting it. Talk here runs to tax residency across two countries, property inheritance, school choices for Indonesian-citizen kids, and a quarterly dinner usually held at someone's home.

Group vibe

Steady, generous with their time, protective of what took years to build.
