Let's move to Bali with confidence

Relocating to Bali is an exciting adventure, but it’s very different from just visiting on holiday.

We’ve spoken with hundreds of expats living in Bali, and almost all say the same thing: settling in can take years when you’re figuring it out alone.

Whether you’re planning to stay for a few months or settle down for years, success starts with the right plan — and the right support.

That’s where Our Year in Bali comes in. We make your move simpler, smoother, and stress-free, saving you time, money, and confusion along the way.

Hi, I’m Simone — Founder of Our Year in Bali

After relocating to Bali with my family and running my business remotely, I understand exactly what it takes to make it work. From visa paperwork and housing to schools, community connections, finances and lifestyle adjustments, it can feel overwhelming — especially when online information is confusing or outdated.

That’s why I created Our Year in Bali — a personalised, all-in-one relocation service that gives you up-to-date guidance, trusted local contacts, and tailored support so you can move with confidence and ease.

Here’s how to get started:

  • Book a Free 30-Minute Planning Call  
    Let’s get personal and understand your situation. You’ll leave the call feeling clear, confident, and ready to take your next step.

MEET OUR YEAR IN BALI FAMILIES

“Planning for a Bali gap year, Simone’s service has been so incredibly helpful in our research and planning, from her advice on schools, villas, and locations, to budgeting what things cost and everyday expenses.

She is so helpful, solutions-oriented, and has a positive attitude that makes it easy to consult with. I am so grateful to have found her so we can be really prepared before our big move.”

Rikke and BjørnarNorway

“We decided to buy her Silver package, which we can highly recommend to other people planning to move to Bali.

Simone’s information package is very well structured and up to date. It would have taken us months to gain the same insights. We felt very safe and well prepared and we even found a suitable villa for our family of 4 people thanks to Simone’s suggested contacts! It is so worth the money.”

AlineSwitzerland

“Although having been to Bali for a longer period before, we consulted Simone to help us get the full scope of what family life (and house hunting!) looks like nowadays in Bali.

Simone’s in-depth and detailed information has been very valuable for us and we enjoyed reading all of it prior to departure. Highly recommended, especially if you are planning to stay in Bali for a year or longer!”

MarloesNetherlands

“You might be able to figure some of the info out yourself from Google (but it would take you years to get the same amount of info through your own research), but Our Year in Bali is an absolute must if you are, well, moving to Bali!

You literally get given ALL of the information that you need (and more!), and I still refer to her info pack and contacts list on a daily basis!”

YvonneIreland

“Simone was kind, thoughtful, and responsive. I learned a lot in our first consultation and signed up with her for the Bali Bronze package. The information in the package is incredibly thorough. She has condensed so much information and knowledge into her carefully curated guides. So much value!

She has spent years building an invaluable network in Bali. We're so grateful to have found her, and we look forward to working with her moving forward. Thanks so much, Simone!””

KellyUSA

“Simone was incredibly helpful from the get-go. She knows everything there is to know about Bali, and her information packs are filled with everything you’ll ever need, and more.

She has spent years building an invaluable network in Bali and she generously offers to help connect us to people who can help make our journey smoother. We're so grateful to have found her.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me even if I haven’t visited Bali before?

Absolutely! Many of our clients start their Bali journey without ever having set foot on the island. Our packages are designed to give you the knowledge and confidence of a long-time local, covering lifestyle, costs, neighbourhoods, and local processes,  so you feel fully prepared even before you arrive.

I’ve never been to Bali before, which package is best for me?

While the Silver Package gives you access to our trusted local contacts, nothing beats the Gold Package. You get to speak directly with our relocation expert, Simone, who listens to your personal needs and acts as your relocation coach. Bali can be complex and overwhelming, and having a dedicated guide ensures you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Do I really need a service if I’ve already been to Bali?

Even if you’ve visited Bali many times — some of our clients have been on holiday here 15+ times! — living long-term is a completely different experience. Relocating means managing visas, healthcare, banking, schooling, and housing, all with local rules and nuances. Our packages remove the guesswork, connecting you with trusted contacts and guidance so you can focus on settling in and enjoying island life.

What if I’m only coming for 3 months?

Even for a short stay, our services can make a big difference. You’ll save time, avoid common pitfalls, and start your Bali experience feeling organised, supported, and confident from day one.

What if I’m not sure when I’ll move yet?

No problem! You don’t need a set date to get started. Starting early lets you plan realistically, gather quotes, and feel fully prepared when the time comes. Many of our clients begin 6–12 months before their move.

What’s the difference between doing my own research and using Our Year in Bali?

You could spend months trying to figure everything out on your own — or you can save time, money, and stress by tapping into our carefully vetted network of trusted local contacts. We’ve done the hard work for you, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing you’re working with reliable experts who make relocation smoother.

What if I’ve already done lots of research?

Great. We plug the gaps, validate assumptions, and connect you to vetted providers so you avoid costly detours. Also no matter what research you have done, we can guarantee our content will be still extremely valuable and we will provide information you haven’t seen or thought of.

Can you help me decide where to live?

Yes! We guide you through Bali’s most popular areas — including Sanur, Ubud, Canggu, and the Bukit — helping you find the location that best fits your lifestyle, budget, and comfort level. We take the time to understand your priorities and goals, so you can make a confident choice.

Book a discovery call here.

Can you help me get a visa?

We’re not a visa agent, but we’ll guide you toward the right visa option and connect you with our trusted visa partners in Bali. Whether you’re already living in Bali or planning your move, we can help.

You can book a free 15-minute visa consultation.

Can you help me find a long-term villa?

Yes! That is one of our specialities to help you can find a range of accommodation — from local houses and guesthouses

With our Silver Package, we personally introduce you to our vetted network of housing agents who can help you find the right home, manage due diligence, handle negotiations, and finalise contracts. These are professionals we know and trust for their excellent service and strong local portfolios.

Can you help with things like insurance, banking, and healthcare?

Yes, our extensive Bali network includes trusted providers for health insurance, banking, driver’s licenses, and other essentials, making the transition smooth and stress-free.

I already live in Bali. Are the guides still useful?

Absolutely! Many of our clients already live in Bali but use our Gold packages to enhance their lifestyle, simplify legal and administrative matters, and save thousands by tapping into our local insights and trusted contacts.

 

Do you offer consultations separate to your relocation packages?

Yes, we understand that everyone’s needs and concerns are different. You might want some extra time to ask questions, get personalised advice, and receive practical tips for your move, which is why we offer individual consultations that can be booked separately.
