Example Monthly Costs for an Internship in Indonesia
Planning an internship in Indonesia? Good preparation includes understanding your expected living costs. Indonesia is known for being a very affordable destination, but prices can vary depending on the city (e.g., Jakarta, Bali, Yogyakarta) and your lifestyle. Below is an estimated monthly breakdown:
- Housing: €250 – €600
Costs vary based on location and the type of accommodation (shared house, guesthouse, or private apartment). Bali and Jakarta may be slightly more expensive than smaller cities. - Living expenses (groceries, dining out): €150 – €300
Local food and groceries are very affordable. Eating at local warungs (small restaurants) can keep your food costs low. - Transportation (scooter rental, public transport): €40 – €100
Many interns rent a scooter, especially in Bali or smaller towns. In bigger cities, public transportation like buses or Gojek/Grab apps are cheap and convenient.
- Phone and internet: €10 – €25
Local SIM cards with large data packages are inexpensive and widely available. - Insurance (health insurance, travel insurance): €40 – €80
A solid travel or international health insurance policy is recommended for unexpected medical costs. - Other expenses (gym, trips, entertainment): €100 – €250
This includes going out, local trips, cultural activities, or occasional shopping. Indonesia offers a lot of low-cost leisure options.
Total estimated monthly cost: €590 – €1.355
