Working and living in Indonesia – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Indonesia requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Indonesian expat life. Living abroad in Indonesia raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Indonesia?ʺ, ʺCan I drink tap water without boiling it first?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Jakarta should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Indonesian municipality in Medan?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Indonesia is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Indonesia aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Indonesia. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from sports and leisure, to local infrastructure or education and children, up to travel & accommodation. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺIs it difficult for expat spouses to find employment?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.

Tips on living and working in Indonesia –
