  Bali Visas Explained: Which Visa Do You Really Need?

  Apr 1, 202632 minS2

  In this episode, we sit down with Anya from Legal Legends Indonesia to break down what’s actually going on, without the confusing jargon or outdated advice. We talk through the main visa options people are using right now, what’s changed in recent years, and why so many people get it wrong. From short stays to moving with kids, working remotely, starting a business or investing in property - we cover the real scenarios our listeners are facing. We also get into business setup in Bali, including PT PMA structures, and what people need to know before registering a company here. Plus, we touch on something not often talked about - what it’s like navigating visas and logistics if you’re having a baby in Bali. Anya shares the biggest mistakes she sees, common myths that won’t go away, and the things that used to work in Bali… but don’t anymore. If you’re planning a move, already here, or just trying to make sense of it all - this episode will save you time, money, and a lot of stress. Hannah has personally used Legal Legends for both KITAS & PT PMA set-up. You can find more info at: https://legallegendsindonesia.com https://www.instagram.com/legallegendsindonesia/

  Luxury Bali: Honeymoons & Milestone Birthdays

  Mar 11, 202644 minS2

  This week we’re diving into the Bali most people only see on Pinterest - private villas, cliff-top dinners, yacht days and once-in-a-lifetime celebration moments. If you had unlimited budget for 4 days in Bali… what would you book first? We break down why Bali works so well for honeymoons, milestone birthdays, hens & bucks, luxury group trips and even wellness retreats - and the real differences between jungle romance in Ubud, cliff-top icons in Uluwatu, private yachts vs beach clubs, and party weekends vs sober luxury escapes. We’re also answering the big questions: - Is Bali still the ultimate hens destination? - What budget do you actually need in 2026? And if we were planning our own 40ths… where would we book? If you’re planning something big in Bali, this is your curated guide. 🎧 Hit play. And if you’re overwhelmed… DM us. We’ll tell you where to actually book.

  Life in Bali: The Honest Truth

  Feb 18, 202648 minS2

  In this episode of Bali Life Unfiltered, we talk honestly about how living on the island has changed from 2022 to now… and the parts no one really prepares you for. From mindset shifts, raising kids without family nearby, and the emotional weight of living overseas, to traffic frustrations, admin chaos, and the mental load that comes with building a life far from home - this is our most honest conversation yet. But despite the challenges, we also share why we’re still here and what Bali continues to give us that nowhere else quite does. We chat about: • What shocked us when we first moved vs what surprises us now • Funny but painfully real Bali frustrations 😅 • What’s gotten better… and what’s definitely gotten harder • Why Bali changed us, and why leaving isn’t as simple as it sounds • Who Bali is actually for (and who it’s not) This isn’t a “Bali is perfect” episode, it’s the balanced, honest version. 🎧 Hit play, subscribe, and follow along for real conversations about life in Bali. 💛 If you’re thinking about moving here or planning a trip, our Bali Guides were created from everything we share in episodes like this: Bali Moving Guide Bali Travel Guide Follow us on IG @balilifeunfiltered
