Alhamdulillah. Its great to see a sister in niqab. I am a revert 66 year old from the US. Im looking to retire in Indonesia. I plan on marrying a Filipina. Im African American of Jamaican ethnicity. I hope to move there in the next year or two. Im hoping my children and grandchildren follow me, because the US is going from bad to worse. Your video was very informative. Whatever else you can share would be greatly appreciated. Most of the sisters in my family also wear niqab. We are serious about our practice of Islam. Whatever you can share in more detail would be greatly appreciated. May Allah ta'Ala bless you.
Ma Sha Allah, Alhamdulillah, I’m truly glad to read your comment. May Allah keep our hearts steadfast upon guidance always, Ameen. Given your age and nationality, everything should, In Sha Allah, go smoothly for you here. Indonesia offers a retirement visa, which might be a good option. I can recommend some nice places to live or share information about areas with a strong immigrant presence, such as where many Arabs reside. You’ll find people here from all walks of life-ranging from liberal to practicing Muslims-but no matter their background, the general kindness and goodness of the people are striking, especially if you’re coming from a different cultural environment. Being a majority Muslim country, some societal vices like LGBT-related displays or indecent clothing aren’t commonly seen, except in Bali. Most people here are modest, humble, and kind, and you won’t face issues regarding your niqab or Islamic practices in public. Please feel free to ask if there’s anything specific you’d like to know about. For visas, I initially worked with an agency called *LetsMoveIndonesia*. They’re very professional, though a bit expensive. Now I handle most of my visa work through a local agent who charges much less but can be unreliable at times-lol! Learning Bahasa Indonesia is essential unless you’re planning to live in a big city where you could rely on Google Translate. Knowing the language makes life significantly easier and opens many doors, both socially and practically. People here are generally curious and friendly; they won’t hesitate to approach you for a chat about where you’re from, and learning the language will allow you to connect more deeply and avoid potential scams by understanding what’s being said around you. Speaking of scams, you’ll need to be cautious, especially when traveling or visiting tourist areas. Be wary of drivers offering rides outside the app-based systems like Grab and Gojek. It’s always safer to use these apps, even at the airport, as negotiating outside of them can lead to situations where drivers double the price mid-journey, leaving you no choice but to pay. That’s all I can think of for now, but do let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to ask. I’ll be happy to help, In Sha Allah. By the way, I’m also a revert. Wassalam.
@Veiled_Ventures Alhamdulillah. By the way, you mentioned "my niqab," but I am male. I was talking about the females in my family, such as my two married daughters, my daughter in laws, my ex-wife (mother of my children), and my granddaughters. All of my extended family want to relocate. The problem is that I'm the only one retirement age with ss income expected in the future. Do you know how the young adults in the family can earn a living there? Perhaps teaching degrees? Maybe online work? By the way, I'm currently divorced. I met someone online who lives in the Philippines. We seem to get along well, but i don't want to live there. I have never met her in person, but we have been talking for over a year now. When I make hijrah, InshaAllah, I would like to live a bit outside any cities. I prefer a city/country feel. As for my children, I won't be able to convince them to follow me unless I can show them a way to make a living there. I hope you don't mind my communicating with you, being that you are a woman. It's just that I want to know what living there is like, from the perspective of a revert muslim, who are generally more serious about the practice of Islam. By the way, where are you from? When did you revert?
@@wildvisuals4415 I got my visa sorted through a local agency called LetsMoveIndonesia, they are very professional but can be expensive because they cater to people from the West mostly. Now, I just take help from a local agent because this can't be done individually, because everything is in the local language i.e, bahasa Indonesia. I opted for the investment visa. However that has its cons. But the new government introduced a pre investment visa, which allows you to live here for 2 years while you take the time to decide where you want to invest.
Yes brother, it really depends on what you are looking for, but I personally recommend any places in central Jakarta such as Thamrin City, Kuningan or South Jakarta. It has more places to see and more developed.
Hey sis I wanna live in Indonesia in next 5 years now I am student of computer science engineering in india so what opportunities can i get as an foreigner or what hardshps for a person who have to find job related to my domain and also as Muslim I think its better for me to live some Islamic contry whats ur opinion. Ihave freinds from java so I got to know cultural differences as well Please make video related to this topic This ❤ for ur Abaya
As salamu alaikum There are some good universities here where you can further your studies, so basically go for a student visa. They also provide scholarships plus stipend for certain courses. That's the easiest option. Other options are very expensive in Indonesia. Plus as you know in Asia almost all countries are facing unemployment problems so they always prefer locals for regular positions than foreigners, they'll only hire a foreigner if that person is exceptional in some ways. Plus knowing the language of this place is important for you to be considered for a job here. I'd say for you CS engineering middle east is a great place now because of the innovations relating to tech, AI, etc over there.
Oh thanks I didn't get notified so I just came here again 😅 and things like this There are some other things I have to discuss Can u possibly have social media ? If u don't want sis it's fine
To evaluate prospects for your career you can see what Muhammad Faisal from Al Nafi has to offer, you can also directly contact them, they counsel people as well. Maybe mail them and see how it goes. I know much of Cyber security, AI, CS prospects in the middle east based on their channel. Also I'm also a student of tech.
if you want to live here and open a business it will be a little easier, but I think it will be difficult for find a Job, especially as a computer engineer who only works in medium-sized companies, because the working requirements for foreign worker here are different from other countries such as in the Middle East, Malaysia or East Asia. because those country needs a lot of foreign workers. and even Indonesian people go to that country to find a job Indonesia is very strict about foreign workers.....
