Questions Expats Commonly Ask Before Moving to Indonesia
You might be wondering:
- What are the best areas to live in Jakarta as an expat?
- Which family-friendly areas in Bali are safe and practical?
- Where should our office be located in Jakarta or Bali?
- How do traffic, zoning, and commute times really affect daily life?
- How does renting work for foreigners in Indonesia?
- Which international schools are best for expat children?
We hear these questions every day – and our relocation programs are built to answer them with real, location-specific guidance.

Common Expat Mistakes
❌ Mistake 1: Contacting Too Many Agents
Unlike cities like London or Singapore, contacting 5–10 agents in Jakarta usually leads to:
- Repeated listings
- Conflicting information
- Confused landlords
- Poor negotiation outcomes
NOBLE ASIA approach:
You don’t need many agents – you need one trusted advisor with full market access and your interests at heart.
❌ Mistake 2 - Assuming “There Will Always Be Another Home & Office”
Jakarta is a huge city – but expat-standard housing in popular neighborhoods is not unlimited. In areas like Kemang, Cipete, Cilandak, and Pondok Indah, good houses that tick all the boxes (layout, garden, natural light, condition, landlord) are limited and move fast. If your budget and preferences don’t fully match the area, you generally have two options:
- Secure something that works now
Take the best available match before it’s gone. - Wait for the next one
Which could mean 1-3 months, sometimes even 3-6 months with no guarantee.
We’ve seen families stuck in temporary housing or long commutes because they hesitated too long on a good property, expecting “more to come”.
NOBLE ASIA tip:
If a home fits your key needs (location, safety, school access, budget), don’t wait too long. In Jakarta’s expat areas, “good enough” today can be gone tomorrow.
❌ Mistake 3 - Chasing the “Cheapest” Price on Home & Office Listing Websites
Many expats start online and compare prices across multiple sites, assuming the lowest one must be the most accurate. In reality, some websites use unrealistically low prices as clickbait just to get your contact details. Once you message them, you may hear:
“Sorry, that unit is no longer available…”
“That was last year’s price… but we have something similar…”
These listings were never truly available at that price.
NOBLE ASIA approach:
We verify all pricing directly with landlords or their appointed representatives. No clickbait, no bait-and-switch. If we share a price, it’s because it’s real and current.
❌ Mistake 4 - Transferring Rent to an Agent Instead of the Owner
This is one of the riskiest mistakes we see – especially for newcomers. Some expats transfer one full year of rent to:
- An unverified “agent”
- A random bank account from WhatsApp
- A person claiming to represent the landlord
And then… the “agent” disappears. No contract, no key, no refund. In Jakarta, you should never:
- Transfer payment without a proper lease agreement
- Pay a full year’s rent to an agent without a clear power of attorney or appointment letter
- Skip checking the ownership documents
NOBLE ASIA protection:
We help verify ownership, documentation, and payment details so that your rental payment goes to the legitimate property owner, not a scammer.
