Relocating to Bali With a Family Near Kaba Kaba

Yes, you can relocate to Bali with a family near Kaba Kaba. Most families use one of two legal routes: a Second Home Visa held by one parent, or a Dependent KITAS sponsored by a spouse who already holds a work or investor permit. Neither requires living in Bali full time first, but both need paperwork ready before you move.

The Second Home Visa, KITAS index E33, lets a foreigner live in Indonesia for 5 or 10 years without a local sponsor, according to Emerhub's guide to the visa. It is non-working, and the financial bar is real: within 90 days of arrival you must show a deposit of at least USD 130,000 in a state-owned Indonesian bank, or own Indonesian property worth at least USD 1,000,000. A spouse and children under 18 can be added as dependents on the same application, which is the route most off-plan buyers use once their unit is registered.

If only one parent qualifies on income or investment grounds, for example through a PT PMA, the rest of the family typically joins on a Dependent KITAS instead. Cekindo's guide to the dependent visa notes the sponsor must hold a valid KITAS or KITAP and show sufficient financial capability, and the dependent permit is valid for 6 to 12 months, renewed in line with the sponsor's own permit. Applications for either route run through the official Indonesian e-Visa portal.

Daily life near Kaba Kaba then covers the basics families ask about. Grow International School in Kedungu runs a Cambridge curriculum about 10 minutes away, and ProEd Global School at Nuanu is a second option 10 to 15 minutes out. Our guide to schools and healthcare near Kaba Kaba covers both in more detail.

For healthcare, Kasih Ibu Hospital in Tabanan is 15 to 20 minutes away for everyday care, while BIMC Hospital in Kuta, with English-speaking staff and a 24 hour emergency room, is closer to 45 to 50 minutes. Day-to-day costs away from beachfront Canggu tend to run lower, tracking local Tabanan prices rather than tourist-strip ones, though that is a pattern, not a fixed number.
