That depends on your lifestyle, but here’s a realistic range of what most retirees spend:
- Comfortable Living: You’ll need about $1,500 to $2,500 per month to cover rent, food, utilities, and fun stuff.
- Luxurious Living: If you want a private villa, personal driver, and fine dining every night, budget closer to $3,000 to $5,000 per month.

Retiring in Bali isn’t complicated, but there are a few key steps you’ll need to follow:
- Be at least 55 years old
- Proof of income (at least $3,000/month)
- A local sponsor agency (required for your visa)
- A lease agreement (you must rent a home for at least one year—our leasehold villas provide a secure, long-term option for retirees).
- Health and life insurance (mandatory)
- Employ a local Indonesian (like a housekeeper or gardener)
- Apply for a Retirement Visa
If you meet these requirements, you can apply through an immigration agency, and they’ll handle most of the paperwork for you.
