Indonesia Expat Community

Indonesia Expat Community

The Expat Community Indonesia welcomes you!

Selamat siang and a heart-felt welcome to the InterNations expat community in Indonesia! Our international community caters to your specific needs and supports you in relocating to and putting down roots in Indonesia. Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for the Indonesia expat: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in Indonesia?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Medan?ʺ or ʺWhere in Jakarta can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…

InterNations aim is to help you, as an expat, in becoming part of the Indonesia expat community and exploring the Indonesian way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional nasi goreng to celebrating Chinese New Year in Indonesia.

Next to Indonesia we host several more communities in Asia & Oceania, e.g., our network of Malaysia expats. Or you might be interested in our expat New Zealand community which is also fairly active.

Enjoy the Expat Living in Indonesia to the fullest

With attractions ranging from wild and rugged Sumatra to Java's cultural treasures, Indonesia fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat community in Indonesia is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Jakarta and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the petro sector. Whether you move to and live in Indonesia for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.

Become part of Indonesia’s lively Expat Community!

In our private community, you can easily get to know fellow expatriates in Indonesia in a casual way – within a safe, invitation-only environment where trustworthiness and respectful behavior are key. Ask our helpful and friendly expat members for advice from Indonesia’s international community, e.g. with regard to getting a residence permit. Furthermore, you’ll meet with other expats at our high-class InterNations Events – mixing and mingling in hotspots like Medan or Semerang, for all internationals belonging to the expat community in Indonesia.
