"I want to express my gratitude to Michael and the team at Gateway, who were recommended as the go-to company to represent us in Bali. Assisting us in setting up our new company, including accounting, banking, and visas, within a remarkably short timeframe. It was a highly stressful 7 months in the planning, with visits to Bali to meet the business owners and their lawyers who were selling the business we wanted. Michael took the lead. His diligence and expertise were instrumental in successfully conducting due diligence. Michael’s guidance throughout this process was invaluable. He was always available to answer our calls from overseas. He provided us with the confidence we needed by acting on our behalf with the power of attorney to negotiate and purchase our assets. Thanks to Michael’s calm, informed approach, we bought our business, and we are packing our family off to Bali in October.

I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and his team for anyone seeking support or advice on how to purchase a business. Their professionalism and commitment truly stand out. Thank you once again for making this journey possible."

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Michael and the Gateway Team for their exceptional professional support in helping us relocate to Bali and for thoroughly preparing us for the move. We were given Michael’s name by a family we know through the online Bali forum, who had previously used Gateway. We were unsure of what to expect from our first call. After 8 months, we are now packing up our life in England, ready to begin our new life in Bali. We have set up our company, working with Michael to purchase our property. This experience has been an absolute positive for our family, and it has truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Michael and the Gateway Team! Anyone considering a Bali move? I would not hesitate to contact Gateway."

"We were introduced to Michael and his team at Gateway Consulting Group during our March visit from the UK to Bali to purchase a land and building project. We had some idea where to start, but quickly realised that our months of research was very different from being on the ground in Bali we found it challenging to find reliable agents helping us find reliable land to buy and what we needed to do to secure our investments, adding to our stress we had heard many not-so-good stories about people’s experiences.

Meeting Michael and his team took the guesswork out of how we buy land and what we need to do to secure and achieve our goals. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have exceptional knowledge and experience and are hands-on every step of the way. They guided us through every aspect of our property purchase, negotiated on our behalf, and connected us with the right construction partners while managing the legal parts of our transaction. Their thorough due diligence ensured that our investments were protected. Thanks to the team, we felt supported and informed throughout the journey. We have now set up our company and purchased the land to build and ready to apply for our visas. We will return in August start our project and relocate our family. Thank you, Michael and your fantastic team, for making our journey a success, such a relief. See you all soon."

"When our family decided to move to Bali, we were overwhelmed by the visa process until a friend already living there recommended Michael at Gateway Consulting. From our first call, Michael was incredibly attentive and responsive, taking the time to understand our specific situation and needs as a small family.

What impressed us most was how quickly Michael sprang into action. He immediately connected us with Agis, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Agis efficiently collected all our information and managed to secure our work visas in record time – something we hadn’t thought possible given the typical bureaucratic hurdles.

The entire experience was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to focus on preparing for our move rather than worrying about paperwork and permits. Michael and his team at Gateway Consulting provided a level of service that exceeded all our expectations.

If you’re considering a move to Bali for work, I couldn’t recommend Michael and the Gateway Consulting team more highly. Their expertise, efficiency, and personalized approach made what could have been a complicated process incredibly smooth for our family."

"We are so thankful we were recommended to Michael and his team. We originally used another visa specialist here in Bali for our company set up and kitas visas. We were then highly recommended to Michael for helping us sort out our tax compliance here in Bali, but he instantly found so many things that were missing with our company that would be needed to comply with Indonesian law. Michael and his team got to work instantly to fix these things. Things happened very fast and very efficiently. Michael has some amazing contacts here in Bali and we only wish we found him sooner to originally set up our kitas and business here, the process would of been so much more quicker and cheaper than the original company, not to mention actually compliant. Highly recommend to anyone 5 star plus service for everyone at Gateway Consulting."

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Michael and his exceptional legal team for their diligent efforts, facilitation, and successful negotiations that made our purchase possible.

"We are pleased to share our positive experience with Gateway Consulting, particularly with Michael and his dedicated team—their expertise and thorough approach to due diligence during our land purchase in Bali.
From the outset, Michael and his team took control, consulting with us every step of the way, conducting a thorough review of all relevant Indonesian documentation, verifying the legality of the land and ensuring there were no hidden issues for us.
Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring we were fully informed gave us exceptional peace of mind throughout the process.
Completing due diligence was a big part of our investment purchase, and it helped us avoid issues arising from unverified information. Michael and his team negotiated the finer points of our purchase and completed our Deed of Sale and Purchase.

I highly recommend that anyone considering a land purchase in Indonesia speak with Michael and team. Their professionalism, expertise, and local knowledge truly set them apart!
We have engaged Michael’s consultancy service to work with us on building our Villa. We look forward to starting our project in the new year."
