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.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Book your Free Discovery Call
    Share your relocation plans, ask your questions, and leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.
  2. Choose the level that’s right for you
    Select from Bronze, Silver or Gold, with different levels of guidance to suit your timeline and relocation needs.
  3. Upgrade anytime—just pay the difference
    Every move is different and plans often evolve. Start with the level you need today and upgrade at any stage, paying only the difference as your Bali journey progresses.

A Message from Our Founder

Hi, I’m Simone. I moved to Bali with my family and spent 12 months figuring out what nobody tells you — which visa actually works for families, which areas suit which lifestyles, which schools live up to their reputation, and which housing agents to trust. We made expensive mistakes so you don’t have to.

Everything I learned — from hundreds of hours of research, conversations with expats, and two years of real island life — is in these guides and service. They’re not a starting point for your research. They’re the finish line.

I can’t wait to hear what’s driving your move—let’s chat and explore your plans.

Book a free call with me and get clear on your next step.

Why Choose Our Year in Bali?

  • Save Time and Avoid Costly Mistakes

    Choosing the wrong area, school, visa, rental home, or service provider in Bali can cost thousands in lost deposits, poor contracts, unexpected fees, and unnecessary stress.

    We help you make informed decisions from the beginning — saving you 100+ hours of confusing online research across Reddit, Facebook groups, outdated websites, and AI-generated advice that is often inaccurate or no longer current.

  • Gain Honest, Local Insights

    We’ve lived the relocation journey ourselves and continue to be on the ground in Bali — regularly visiting schools, neighbourhoods, villas, and service providers. You’ll receive practical, honest advice based on real experience and current local knowledge — helping you choose what’s right for your family, lifestyle, and budget.

  • Access Trusted Connections & Support

    Tap into years of trusted local relationships and carefully vetted professionals across Bali. From visas and schools to housing, insurance, drivers, and childcare, we connect you with reliable providers to help make your move safer, smoother, and far less overwhelming.

Find the Right Package for Your Move

Moving Soon? Already in Bali? Extending Your Stay?

It’s not too late.

While many families begin planning 6–12 months in advance to get the full benefit of our services, we also regularly assist relocations on much shorter timelines — sometimes within just a few weeks.

Whether you’re planning ahead, already on the ground, or deciding to stay longer, we help you prioritise the most important steps based on your timeline and circumstances.

Get in touch and we’ll tailor a package to suit your stage of the relocation journey.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
