Thank you to Marcus for helping us to update the "Retirement in Indonesia" article and the Second Home Visa article with new information.

We regret to inform you that we will be taking the Expat Forum offline near the end of June. Unfortunately, we no longer have enough sponsorship support to cover the costs of hosting this behemoth site and the programming expenses which keep the Expat Forum online.

We thank Marcus for his years of fantastic volunteer support of the community and his thorough research and answers to questions from expat community members! Marcus has generously offered to continue answering questions through a new “Ask Marcus” feature. 06/17/2024

In the light of increasing inquiries for information on expatriate communities Outside Jakarta, we continue to gather more information for visitors to this site. If you live in a city outside Jakarta, consider contacting us about expat living your town so that we can share your insights with future expatriate residents. They'll sincerely appreciate your help.

Did you find a needed update on this site? We update various bits of info on a daily basis, but it's impossible to stay on top of 1,200+ articles by ourselves. If you find something that is out of date, or inaccurate please let us know so that we can get it up to date!

We are continuously working on updating ALL of our community organization information pages as we know that many expats leave throughout the year and club leadership positions change. If you are a member of a expat community organization in Indonesia, can we ask your help to check the listings for the groups you belong to, to see if our contact information should be updated. If so, please write to us with the changes.

Check out the many great books on Indonesia - Fiction, Non-Fiction and Community Publications on the Recommended Publications page.
