How this desk is organised

This page describes Moving to Bali from Australia as it actually works: a small desk that handles Indonesian visa and stay-permit work, organised by responsibility rather than by biography.

• Submission and tracking. Files through the official portal, keeps the reference numbers, and reports status changes as they happen rather than on request.
• Regulation watch. Tracks circulars and portal changes from the Directorate General of Immigration and marks any page on this site that a change makes stale.
• Client correspondence. Answers in writing, keeps the thread in one place, and repeats the fee breakdown before payment rather than after.
• Escalation. Handles refusals, requests for additional documents and appointment problems, and explains the options honestly, including the option to stop.

Why there are no names on this page

Names and credentials are deliberately absent. Anything of that kind on a public page ought to be verifiable, and we would rather leave the space empty than fill it with a qualification nobody can check. If you want to know who you are dealing with, ask us directly. You will get a name and a role for your own booking, which is a far more useful answer than a public roster.

What we publish, and how it is checked

Figures and rules published here are taken from the operator or the responsible authority. When we have not been able to confirm something, the page says it is unconfirmed instead of rounding it into a fact. Corrections are welcome. Anything we get wrong is fixed on the page itself, with the change visible, not removed without trace.

How Our Team Coordinates Indonesian Visas for Australians

Visas are the most complex aspect of moving from Australia to Bali, because Indonesia offers multiple visit and stay permits with specific purposes and maximum durations.^[1][3] Our visa coordination service starts by confirming your intended activities in Bali: remote employment, running an online business, retirement, investment, or joining a spouse or family member.^[2] We then align you with the visa types Indonesian authorities currently issue for these purposes, such as:

• B211A single-entry visit visas (often up to 60 days per entry, extendable) for non-work stays
• Temporary stay permits (KITAS), including work, investor, and retirement categories, with validity commonly up to 1–2 years at a time^[1][5]
• Family reunion visas under the E31 series for spouses and children joining a KITAS holder or Indonesian citizen^[2]

We prepare document checklists tailored to Australians: passport validity of at least six months, onward or return tickets, bank balance requirements (often demonstrated minimums around USD 2,000 or more for certain family visas), and translated relationship documents where required.^[2][4] When a digital visa is available, we coordinate the application online before departure from Australia, reducing your risk of airport issues on arrival.^[5]

Processing times are typically 5–15 working days once all documents are complete, although this can vary during peak seasons around July and December. We also map out extension strategies well in advance, so you understand when you must report to local immigration, what fees apply per extension, and when it is safer to transition to a KITAS if you expect to remain in Bali more than 6–12 months.^[1][3]
