How we support you

Bali Insight Living isn’t built on theory.
 

For over 30 years, I’ve worked, lived and dealt with:
 

• Immigration offices

• Hospitals and clinics

• Landlords and agents

• Banks and utilities

• Local bureaucracies and “unwritten rules”
   

So when we talk about visas, healthcare, areas, or lifestyle, it’s not from a tourist’s point of view. It’s from years of watching what actually happens when people move here — the good, the bad and the avoidable.
 

Our role is to give you that on a plate:
What works, what doesn’t, and what you need to know before you make big decisions.

You don’t need another glossy brochure about “paradise”.
 

You need someone who will quietly say:
 

• “That visa might work now, but here’s the catch two years from now.”

• “That rent is too high for that area.”

• “That hospital is fine for basic stuff, but here’s where we’d go for anything serious.”

• “Here’s how much life really costs if you want X, Y and Z.”
   

Our approach is simple:

• We listen first

• We clarify your aims, budget, and non-negotiables

• We walk you through options, trade-offs, and risks

• We help you map a path that matches who you actually are — not who a marketer wants you to be
   

No drama. No scare tactics. Just clear-eyed support.

Instead of piecing things together from scattered posts, you get:
 

• Context – how Bali works now, not five years ago

• Comparisons – different areas, lifestyles, budgets and visa paths

• Vetted introductions – to visa agents, insurance providers, property agents and other professionals

• Checklists and resources – so you’re not reinventing the wheel
   

We’re not here to lock you in. We’re here to give you a structured way to explore your options properly.

This is important.
 

We are not:

• Visa agents

• Lawyers

• Real estate brokers

• Financial advisers
   

We don’t take over your affairs, and we don’t make decisions for you.
 

What we do is:

• Help you ask the right questions

• Help you spot red flags before they cost you money or stress

• Help you prepare before you meet agents, doctors, landlords or banks

• Help you interpret what you’re being told
   

You always remain in control. You make the final decisions.
We simply make sure you’re doing so with your eyes open.

Depending on your level of membership, support can include:
 

• Initial consultations to explore whether Bali fits your situation

• Follow-up calls to refine your plan

• Help understanding visa categories and typical pathways

• Guidance on choosing health insurance and understanding local healthcare

• Area and neighbourhood insights (pros, cons, what to expect day-to-day)

• Suggestions for initial accommodation and long-stay options

• Guidance on banking, SIM cards, local apps and payments

• Introductions to social groups, networks and communities

• On-the-ground support once you arrive in Bali (within clearly defined limits)
   

All of that is delivered in plain English, with the context of someone who’s been through it all many times.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is going “all in” too fast:
 

• Selling everything at home

• Signing long leases

• Committing emotionally before they understand the realities
   

We encourage the opposite: a trial mindset.
 

We’ll help you:

• Plan a realistic trial period in Bali

• Structure that stay to test everyday life, not just holiday mode

• Learn how it feels when you’re not on a two-week high
   

That way, when you do make a bigger commitment, you’re doing it from experience, not fantasy.

To keep everything transparent:
 

• We do not process visas or guarantee visa approvals

• We do not sell or manage property or act as your legal representative

• We do not take responsibility for the actions or performance of third-party providers

• We do not promise specific outcomes — Bali has its own way of doing things
   

Our role is guidance, insight and support — not legal or professional representation.

Time, access and level of support are defined by your membership plan and detailed in our Terms & Conditions.

The simplest way to see if we’re a fit is to talk.
 

On a free 20-minute call, we can:

• Understand where you’re starting from

• Give you an honest read on whether Bali looks viable for you

• Suggest what kind of support (if any) makes sense next
