[@artcraftblog]

I wouldn't recommend a KITAS - it comes with tax liability which agents often forget to mention and taxes in Indonesia are on global income and they are up to 35% (quite high!). Regarding the driving license, it is actually illegal to drive without it and it can big fine + 4-6 months in prison. Yes, police it is not everywhere, but I don't think it is worth the risk! Of course, your life is more important, horrible accidents happen constantly (I have lived in Bali for more than 4 years). Also in the airport when you arrive if you notice a plastic tag on your bag - that's how they flag you for inspection.

[@N0phillter]

Enjoy🙏🏽

[@mikepark3747]

Are there organic options for food? Like at the western cafes, is it organic food?

[@JooseTheNomad]

There's some organic restaurants like Cafe Vida. I'm not sure what's the level of organic in the cafes that don't specify it🤔

[@Khaled-bd9cq]

Fabulous 👌

[@LiamLavertyCoaching]

great video bro! can relate big time to the mental side of things...I've just moved back to Bali for the second time. can you pass on details of the 1-1 trainer for muay thai / boxing?

[@wanderfulstops8488]

Great video, very informational😊 . Just wanted to know, what about someone who doesn't know how to ride a scooty. What kind of daily transportation options are available if one stays there for a month

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks! Best option is to use Gojek scooter taxis, very affordable and fast!

[@chocolateswirlgirl953]

Does the rice fields and swings and parks are open during February month??

[@JooseTheNomad]

I'm sure :)!

Joose, let me ask a silly question, is there anywhere in Canguu bali to buy/rent screen monitors? i love my 2 big screen monitors in the uk, and might want to do the same in a lovely bali villa.. but love your video and planning a 6 month trip to bali next year 2025 :)

[@manogilissen]

Hi! What is the name of the guesthouse you are staying at in this video?

[@KomlanSeyramAMENYAGLO]

Bro thank you for this beautiful video, one of simplest video and great content. Please I want to know I’m from West Africa Ghana , do I need to contact your business visa agency for two week’s vacation?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Visa on arrival is valid for 30 days so no need to agency if it's available for your country!

You need to get it from an agency, this is what I use: [phone] (WA)

[@ammaniedereje3643]

Hi! Thanks for the video-it’s really helpful. I’m planning a trip to Bali in October, but I haven’t received the COVID-19 vaccine. Could you let me know if vaccination is required for entry or if there are any other specific requirements? A video or some guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@ammaniedereje3643 I don't think it's needed anymore anywhere!

[@peterlee9691]

Bali used to be good, cheaper, quieter, less traffic, more rustic, now that old charm is ruined with tourism, old buildings are pulled down replaced with a modern look. But the pros about tourism is that the quality and standard got better, unless you still enjoy dining under oil lamps eating frogs legs wild caught behind the kitchen. And the old airport looked like an old bus terminal 😂

[@JooseTheNomad]

😂😂 yeah there's always positives and negatives from development, but there's so many areas in Bali and bot all are modernized!

[@so-la3062]

I loved the old airport x

Greetings from CA & many thanks 4 video! A couple of q's: is melatonin available to buy & legal in Bali & do you have to go to internet cafes to get the best speeds?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks! Not sure actually, I just brought it from Finland, legal it's for sure right as it's just a supplement? :) Most cafes I go to have good enough internet connection but there's also some that have bad and some that have really good!

[@happygirl2667]

[@JooseTheNomad]

Anything online😄

[@Anita_Lauren]

Do you know if there are any dog daycares or what to do if you have a dog? Also, do most people speak English? Thank you in advance! :)

There is many! Yes most people speak good English in Bali :)

[@Anita_Lauren]

Thank you! :) @@JooseTheNomad

[@artcraftblog]

There are dog daycares but you can not legally bring a dog to Bali, unfortunately.

[@marianne5593]

Do you have business visa?

[@JooseTheNomad]

I've used it before, why? :)

[@naturallyraw]

Can you apply for the 6 month business visa if you haven't started your business yet but are planning to while you are there? Also, how do you register your business for tax purposes if you have no permanent address. I don't have parents or a friends address that I could use.

[@TashonLeeHarrell]

Bro where do I find the guest houses u shows in the video for 600 a month ??? I’m moving to Bali within the next couple of months

[@leej-wp9ft]

Thanks for a great video - maybe you or one of your followers can help me out... what vaccines do I need for covid to enter Bali? I did have two in 2020/2021 but I don't have the app anymore of copies of the vaccine certificate

[@JooseTheNomad]

I have never asked to show the certificate the past year or so🤔 You don't have any document to show for it just in case?

[@leej-wp9ft]

I could get a booster and show that document but I got the first 2 vaccines in France and I don't have the app (they closed it) or the docs. I guess the booster certificate would be enough? @@JooseTheNomad

[@omerufuk]

If they are asking for an onward flight ticket and I am planning to extend my stay from 30 days to 60 days, can I show a flight based on the 60 days? Otherwise, my flight ticket will be wasted.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yes! They never have asked me for ticket tho. Now there's even auto gates for evisa and electronic passport holders

[@joonaskoo]

How does taxation work for digital nomads in Indonesia? Ie. should you set up a company to Indonesia / just pay taxes to the country you’re origally from etc.

[@JooseTheNomad]

I think there's many options depending on your home country. If possible, in the begging it's easiest to just keep paying to home country if your busines sis set up there :)

[@artcraftblog]

If you stay more than 183 days in Indo you are legally a tax resident, so you will pay taxes both in your country and in Indo. But to pay taxes in indo you need to get a tax id, which many people don't so they don't pay. It is not legal but it is a loophole. Also the visa agents don't tell the full truth about paperwork after the visa is done and tax liability, so many people don't research themselves and stay for years paying nothing. Indo does have tax treaties with some countries but it doesn't mean you only pay taxes in one, it only means you will get tax credit from one country to cover a portion of the other country's tax return. Plus, Indo taxes global income. All global income. If you need an advice on that, it is best to talk to a tax advisor in Bali (not visa agent, they are not qualified for this). I used SAS firm for my tax returns for the past 2 years. To file on your own is quite complex if you don't speak Indonesian. But no need to open a company if you're just an individual. Foreign companies in Indo is a hot mess of paperwork and rules. Hope that helps. They have recently introduced a DN visa but it is still unclear what's with taxes on that one.

Hi Joose, I followed the WA number of the scooters that you left and they delivered complete trash. After 4 days of sorting things out I finally got a refund and will get rid of the piece of junk they delivered me. The delivery was in night time and I am sure they took the most advantage of me so be carefull yall!

[@JooseTheNomad]

Well of course you need to always specify what you want and check that everything is as you wanted upon delivery?😅

[@romanmarynchak8506]

The problem is that everything that they offered to exchange was in the same shape 😂

[@romanmarynchak8506]

And yeah i specified in detail:) Anyways your videos are very helpful!

[@JayBrody-xx9ut]

Hey, I've gotta be honest, your post schedule's been always inconsistent, man. I mean, hearing 'see you next week' in every single vlog was starting to get a bit old, haha. Life throws curveballs, no doubt, but it wouldn't hurt to give us a heads up on changes. I've noticed the shift away from vlogs since you're flying solo,feels more like you’re just giving tips to your viewers, and so much less fun to watch and it's kinda frustrating seeing those same old videos pop up in every one of your posts. Just a friendly tip, maybe chill a bit with the talking. Cheers! 🍻

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks flr the feedback :) what would be your solution?

[@JayBrody-xx9ut]

I gave solutions didn't I? For instance, skip the "see you next week" if it's not really happening,give more personal information about changes,chill when you talk

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@JayBrody-xx9ut I meant for the "less fun to watch", because yes I'm alone, so it's harder to vlog in Bali because I made so many vlogs here already, so do you have an idea what kinda vlogs would you wanna see? And I'm uploading once per week now again as I did the whole spring :)

[@JayBrody-xx9ut]

I totally get that! I've been following a bunch of solo KZbinrs who keep the fun vibes going and I noticed this video popped up almost two weeks after the last one

Bro. First of all, I'm in Bali right now, and it is the most overrated place on Earth. It's basically India, with better weather and better behaved locals. The Indonesian people are amazing. The BULE are ridiculous. Pretending to be rich, living in mansions, made of straw, eating pizza and smoothie bowls delivered by slaves. Too much hype. Make a "street interview" video. Talk to bule sitting in endless traffic, and ask them how they like Bali? Make a video on how to get a Bali girlfriend. That girl was your channel hook. You need a new hook. Ask Bali girls out on camera. People love that shit. The women here are so much more friendly and kind than Western women. There's a cute girl working in every restaurant. Get one. Save your channel.

[@oneyearvisa]

100% right. Get a new Bali girlfriend ASAP.

[@smokiesconnect471]

Ha. Bali traffic! You can't even walk on the sidewalk, too many fucking scooters clogging up everything. Hell on Earth. But yeah, dude needs a new hot girlfriend to save his channel. Simple KZbin formula: six pack + great hair + hot girlfriend + Australian accent + unsustainable lifestyle = views.
