A Dubai to Bali relocation package is a single managed service that handles your entire move from the UAE to Indonesia — scouting trip, visa, housing, schooling, shipping and settling-in concierge — under one coordinator instead of five or six separate vendors. As of 2026, Dubai Alternatives offers three package tiers for professionals, families and investors, with our own on-the-ground team in Bali managing every step. A typical end-to-end relocation runs 8 to 16 weeks from first consultation to move-in day.
This page covers what the package includes, how the process works, and indicative pricing. If you are still in research mode, start with our Dubai to Bali complete migration guide and come back when you are ready to set a date. To be fair to the city you are leaving: Dubai remains an excellent hub with zero personal income tax and world-class infrastructure. Most of our clients are not fleeing it — they are trading it for lower living costs, more space and a foothold in Southeast Asia. Our job is to make that trade smooth.
What Is Included in the Dubai to Bali Relocation Package?
Every tier is built from six core service blocks. You get one dedicated relocation manager who coordinates all of them on a single timeline.
- Scouting trip (5–7 days). Before you commit, we bring you to Bali properly: airport fast-track on arrival, a driver for the week, guided area tours of Canggu, Umalas, Sanur, Ubud and Uluwatu, villa viewings matched to your brief, school visits if you have children, and meetings with our legal and visa specialists.
- Visa and immigration. We map the right route for your situation — as of 2026 the main options for former Dubai residents include the E33G remote worker visa, investor KITAS, retirement KITAS and Indonesia’s second home visa — then prepare documents and manage the application through our Bali visa processing service. Family and dependent visas are handled in the same file.
- Housing search and lease. A shortlist of long-term villas or apartments based on your budget and area preference, accompanied viewings, lease negotiation in your interest, and a legal review of the rental contract before you sign. See our long-term villa rental service for how sourcing works.
- Schooling. For families: a shortlist of international schools, arranged campus tours during your scouting trip, and support with applications and waitlists. Our Bali international schools guide gives an overview of the main options.
- Shipping and pets. Coordination of door-to-door household shipping from Dubai, guidance on Indonesian customs paperwork, and pet relocation planning including required vaccinations and permits. Freight and carrier charges are billed at cost by the shipping company.
- Settling-in concierge (30, 60 or 90 days). After you land: bank account setup assistance, local SIM and internet, driver’s licence process, healthcare and insurance registration, hiring household staff, and introductions to the expat and business community relevant to you.
How Does the Relocation Process Work?
The process is deliberately simple on your side. You make decisions; we run the logistics.
- 1. Consultation. A WhatsApp or video call to understand your family size, timeline, budget, visa situation and what you need from Bali.
- 2. Relocation plan and fixed quote. Within a few working days you receive a written plan: recommended visa route, target areas, school options, timeline and a fixed package quote.
- 3. Scouting trip. You fly to Bali (about nine hours direct from Dubai; Bali is four hours ahead) and spend a week seeing everything with our team.
- 4. Visa filing and housing secured. While your visa is processed, we finalize your lease and school enrolment so everything is ready before you arrive.
- 5. Move week. Airport pickup, move-in to a cleaned and prepared home, utilities running, shipment received.
- 6. Settling-in period. Your relocation manager stays on call for 30 to 90 days depending on tier, until you are genuinely established.
How Much Does a Dubai to Bali Relocation Package Cost?
Pricing depends on family size, visa routes and scope, so every client receives a fixed written quote after the consultation. The figures below are indicative service-fee ranges as of 2026, quoted in USD.
| Tier | Best for | Indicative fee | Settling-in support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Solo professionals and couples | from ~$3,500 | 30 days |
| Family | Families with school-age children | from ~$7,500 | 60 days |
| Executive | Investors and business owners relocating with a company setup or property purchase | from ~$15,000 | 90 days |
Important disclaimer: these are indicative service fees only, not fixed prices. They exclude government and immigration fees, school tuition, rent and deposits, flights, and freight charges, which are billed at actual cost. Indonesian visa and customs regulations change; we confirm current requirements and costs at the time of your engagement rather than promising specific government fees or processing times in advance.
Why Choose a Managed Package Instead of Doing It Yourself?
You can organize a Bali move yourself — many people do. The package exists for people whose time is worth more than the coordination burden: chasing a visa agent, property agent, school office, shipper and bank across a four-hour time difference, usually while still working full-time in Dubai. One accountable team on one timeline removes the most common failure mode we see: a move that drags on for six months because nobody owns the whole process. For investors, the Executive tier also connects your relocation to company establishment and property strategy in one plan.
How long does a Dubai to Bali relocation take?
Most clients complete the move in 8 to 16 weeks from first consultation to move-in. The visa route is usually the pacing item; housing and schooling run in parallel. A single professional on a remote worker visa moves faster than a family of five with school enrolments and a container shipment.
Can I keep my Dubai company while living in Bali?
Often yes — many clients keep a UAE entity while living in Indonesia. However, spending most of the year in Indonesia can make you an Indonesian tax resident, which affects how your worldwide income is treated. We flag the issues and connect you with qualified tax advisors on both sides; we do not give tax advice ourselves, and you should get professional advice before you move.
Do you handle pets and household shipping?
Yes. We coordinate door-to-door shipping from Dubai and pet relocation, including vaccination and permit requirements. Indonesia’s pet import rules are stricter than the UAE’s, so pet timelines need to be planned early — tell us about animals in the first consultation.
Is the scouting trip available on its own?
Yes. Some clients book only the scouting trip first to make their decision on the ground. If you proceed to a full package within six months, the scouting trip fee is credited against your package price.
