COST of LIVING in BALI in 2022 | A Monthly Breakdown

[@Out_Raging]

Great info! I think a helpful tip for next time would be to convert everything to pounds during each step. Mentally trying to do the 20k : 1 calculation as you're explaining each thing wasnt easy haha.

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Glad I could be of help! Yeah once you’ve been converting it for a while it gets easy 😂

[@paymans1153]

Great video! Very informative! All of that for around 840CDN or 665USD/mo? WOW! Can't wait til I get there! Keep'em coming those awesome video! :)

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Thanks mate! Yup that’s right, it also easy to spend tons of money too but I try to do it cheap 😁

[@paymans1153]

Sure! That applies to everywhere! :) I spend here 3K/mo without leaving the house! Oh and it's cold and boring as hell! Give me Bali anytime of the day! :)

Really good video. In fact it’s one of the best I’ve seen. It would be good know what you are doing for health or travel insurance. How long that will last etc (touch wood you don’t have to use it :)

[@RyanLeeBanks]

The best?! Oh you flatter me, I think there’s better 😂 I use safety wing, it’s a nomad insurance that you pay monthly and can cancel at anytime!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

I haven’t tried living there but I have visited! It’s cheaper yes 😁

[@kellylovestosing]

Thank you so much for the video! I am currently in school and am planning to go in the summer ! This was so helpful. Are there jobs to do while there ! I plan on saving so I can stay for two months but also pay rent back at home . I also have 3 children so would be bring them too I know that would effect them price a lot.

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Hey! Glad you found this interesting! The prices have actually gone up quite a lot since this video so I plan to make an updated version pretty soon! In terms of jobs, all the work here for foreigners is remote unless you get a KITAS visa (I’ll probably make a video soon explaining to different visas too). So it might be worth looking for a remote position before you move here, it would definitely be beneficial to have a job before you arrive 😁

[@kellylovestosing]

@@RyanLeeBanks thank you so much for the help! I will be looking forward to those other videos . I am going to look into remote jobs as well! Thank you again !

[@Taylorspratt321]

Hello I really like this video. It inspired me in so many ways. I am shocked that it is so cheap for you to live in Bali when I thought you had to pay at maybe 1000 usd per month to live their comfortably. I have heard about the 6 month visa that you need to get an agent to sponsor you for. Did you get this visa? Also I write novels and dream of living in a beautiful and I spring place to work that's also very affordable and has great nomad community. I am so glad to see that Bali could be the place :)

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Hey that’s awesome! Yeah I would say most people live here on about 1000usd a month but it’s definitely possible to do it cheaper! I did get that visa, any visa agent will give it to you but I’d recommend Bali Visas or Bali Solve ☺️

[@MicheOMG]

Hi, as an european, what documents would I need to live there? ( not using the travel visa up to 6 months)

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Hey dude! You would need a b211a visa! If you have a look at my videos I made one called “how I moved to Bali in 2021”. It’s all still essentially the same but there no quarantine now!

[@NomadJones]

Hi there :) Can I ask is the total of your rent (you mentioned like £260?) is that for the both of you or split? so is the total like £500?

[@NomadJones]

also, are you spending £492 each or all in all for both of you? (I'm looking to live there with my boyfriend so want to work out the costs) x

[@RyanLeeBanks]

It was £260 for both of us, it’s actually cheaper now because I’ve moved I only pay £150 in rent per month now! It was basically £500 each!

[@JasurMavlyanov]

Thank you for the video! Do you know if foreigners can get utility bills on their names in Bali? I will need to provide my bank a proof of address + personal taxpayer number after moving to Bali, I was wondering if it's possible to obtain those documents as a foreigner.

[@RyanLeeBanks]

These sort of documents you will be able to get if you get a KITAS visa, but otherwise I think utility bills will probably have to go in your landlords name!

[@benstaal5129]

I don't want to attack you, but it is not what it is, staying here temporarily is different from living. Yes, you can eat and drink here for a few bucks a day, great, but if you want a beer, wine or any other alcoholic drink, it's cashier and I mean cashier! As an example, an ounce of cheese costs as much as a kilo in Europe. Wine, local from the store, undrinkable and five times more expensive than in Europe. The life you live is different from living here and believe me, it will be different and can sometimes be more expensive than you expect. Every day noodles, or nasi with a chicken leg from a campong chicken, good luck with it! Meat is expensive here, local meat is tough and unedible, you switch to import and then, yes, checkout is two to three times expensive if you are used to in your own country. Do you want to live in a room for the rest of your life, good luck with it, your aim is slow. Then all those beautiful stories about locals, they always smile, yes as long as you pay. Don't forget one thing, Indonesia is a winner when it comes to corruption and believe me, it's in their genes. Say no once, then you will see that they are less nice, again I live happily here and am happy with the house I own here, but don't be fooled too much with creamy stories, while the naked reality is very is different. It took me many years to accept, had no choice and now that I can play the game, I play it, you don't learn this in two months Bali! Okay, don't let that stop you from coming here, however, I'm trying to flatten out some of the youtube people a little bit. Finally and this bothers me the most, many expats now live here at squeezed prices, while the Balinese is suffering and this is the last I will write about this!

[@RyanLeeBanks]

Sounds like you got a grudge to bare towards Bali and Indonesia dude and that’s all you man! I’m only trying to show how cheap it can be, I know full well it can be more expensive and I know it can be even cheaper, as I mentioned in the video. I live a very modest lifestyle and I’m happy with that, and you know what, I’d be happy with any lifestyle, cheap or expensive! It sounds like you need some happiness in your life my bro and I hope you find some soon 😁
