About Social Expat

Welcome to Social Expat the largest expatriate community in Indonesia!

Since 2022 Social Expat has been leading the charge in creating a better platform for expats and Indonesians to get daily news, find promotions, get immigration advice and provide the best outlet for events across Jakarta & Bali.

On average we host 8-10 events a month ranging from singles nights, business networking, dance classes, yoga classes, run clubs, themed nights out, social nights, day activities and so much more. No other platform in Indonesia runs as many events as we do!

When building Social Expat, every effort was made to provide a place that truly encompasses expatriate needs. We compared predecessor websites from around the world, we asked expatriates what they wanted from an expatriate platform and we used our own experiences to create a complete website, unlike anything that has ever come before. 

At Social Expat, we are delighted to have created the most comprehensive expatriate website in the world and we hope you love our website and our amazing community.

We are proud to be different, unapologetic in our desire to be the best and thrilled to facilitate a platform that brings people from all over the world together. If you have any ideas how we can be better, have questions about life in Indonesia, need advice, or would like to be part of our team, then feel free to contact us at: indonesia@socialexpat.net

On behalf of Social Expat, we would like to say a thank you for visiting us and we look forward to meeting you soon.
