Excellent presentation Adrien! So helpful for everyone to know these tips when it’s finally possible to come to Bali . I always enjoy your videos. Hope your hand is mending well 🌸
Thank you so much for this! I have never been to Bali and am thinking about visit in April so very helpful :) I will check your other videos to get properly prepared. And hope your hand will be healed soon!
Thank you so much Adrien! Information was so very helpful, would love if you could post a link to your agent and also more information regarding health insurance. Many thanks again Bernie
I don’t think I could make a whole video about this, but the rainy season depends where you are. Ubud gets more rain than the South. It is sporadic generally.
I usually have a friend pick me up and once I drop my belongings off at place I go out and get a SIM card. I don’t use the taxi service at airport because they will always try to over charge you, thinking you have never been there before.
There’s new government regulation. Mobile phones from overseas now cannot be used in Indonesia. The moment you insert Indonesian SIM card, they will automatically validate your mobile phone’s IMEI. And when the IMEI is not registered at the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, the SIM is not going to work on your phone. You can use your phone using free public wifi, but to use Indonesian SIM card, you need to buy a new phone in Indonesia no matter what is the brand. Because the important is the IMEI has to be registered with the Indonesian government. It’s bcz many Indonesians went overseas just to get the latest smartphone at cheaper price so I think probably the authorised reseller here in Indonesia complaint to government about low sales despite them having to go through all the customs loophole. Yep. BCA’s internet banking interface might look too simple, but they have stable system. Simpler interface means the website is loading quicker. Better simple interface but stable network than having fancy interface but often having problem. They have English language option for the internet banking. Just ask the customer service people to set it for you. I don’t use their mobile banking app.
You can buy second car or buy a new car under local name,but i recommend to rent and try to driving around first, trust me you not gonna like it. Scooter are the best you can enjoy the wind and it's not that dangerous..
@@rivh12 I appreciate your response. 63 year old single retired woman. I cant start riding a scooter now I would need a car. I was thinking of Sanur. Would that be a good start? I don't mind living out of town. Thank you

Your videos is so informative thanks you
So useful. Adrien do U mind doing a video on your visa and what agent you worked with if not too personal. Thank you. Great value add as usual
Check out Bali Visas. I am using them and I think they are extremely well connected.
I usually have a friend pick me up and once I drop my belongings off at place I go out and get a SIM card. I don’t use the taxi service at airport because they will always try to over charge you, thinking you have never been there before.
I really want to move to Bali. Specifically when you call it the land of the Gods.

Why are they called "expats" for bules and it's "immigrants" for us? Hehe, jk. Enjoy Bali! Subscribed.
Expats are usually financially self sufficient
