What do I need to know before retiring in Jakarta?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Jakarta, they said...

"Before retiring in Jakarta, expats should research the cost of living and the availability of healthcare services. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the safety of the area and the availability of transportation. It is also important to research the visa requirements and the process for obtaining a retirement visa. Finally, expats should consider the availability of leisure activities and the potential for making friends in the area," explained one expat living in Jakarta, Indonesia.

"Don't worry too much. It's pretty easy life here but will require patience a plenty. Traffic is horrible! But I get lots of reading done in my Mitsurbishi Grandis. Good staff are very important and should be rewarded with your trust and better than average pay if you find good ones. We love ours. Finally, as usual, a little bit of the local language goes a long long ways. Vocabulary is the key here b/c the rest of the language is easy," said another expat in Jakarta, Indonesia.
