Jakarta Expat Community for Jakarta Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Jakarta Community!

Selamat siang and welcome to our community for Jakarta expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Jakarta: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Jakarta in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in Indonesia and meet fellow expats from Jakarta’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Asia & Oceania, e.g. our chapter for Riyadh Expatriates? Or you might think of stopping by at our Expats Amsterdam community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Jakarta Expat Life

The "Big Durian" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like the most famous landmark in Jakarta, the National Monument, commissioned in 1961 to celebrate Indonesia's independence,, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Indonesia’s Chinese New Year in Indonesia, up to getting a taste of traditional nasi goreng. The InterNations community helps you as an Jakarta expat to enjoy your expat stay in Indonesia to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Jakarta and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺIs it difficult for expat spouses to find employment?ʺ up to ʺCan I drink tap water without boiling it first?ʺ.
