There are no specific requirements for joining except this: You should be willing to abide to Qur'an and Sunnah!
 The living expenses are very low! With less than 100.- € one can already live comfortably if one has an accommodation (besides the visa extensions and the accompanying travel). It will be quite impossible to find paid work over here. One can however invest in or built up a local business, but if one is able to set up a business over internet (e.g. translations works etc.), then this might be a better solution.
There are several options (which might change over time as project is still under development. We welcome suggestions or criticism):
1) You are welcome to spend the first three days in the house of Habib & Latifah provided we have space. After the first three days we charge Rp. 100,000 per night including meals. In case nothing is available in the valley itself: One always can rent a room in Molibagu for around three Euros a night or rent a house in some neighbouring village for around 40 Euro a month. This is is what we did ourselves before our house (picture on the right) was ready.
2) We offer a 30 years (extendable to 80 years) rental contract of a place in the valley or if you provide us with an Indonesian name, a sales contract. We sell (or rent for 80 years) a plot of different sizes for the house plus 2500m2 forest land for farming incl. water hook on and access road for motorbike for the price stated below.
Please use the dinar converter to calculate this amount into your own currency. This price does not include any taxes. If you take a rental agreement you might get charged 10% of the monthly rent put into the contract, which would be then approx. 5 Euros per month taxes. If you like to take a sales contract and require an official letter signed by the mayor of the village (Surat Jual-Beli), it is 10% of the price put on this official letter.

3) The cheapest long term option, but only recommended for those with experience in Indonesia, might be to buy oneself some land, preferably in proximity to the valley, and to build oneself a home. Be aware that as a foreigner you cannot 'own' the land. You will have to buy it on the name of a trustworthy Indonesian. You can rent only legally a house and 2000 m2 around it for 30 years (extendable up to 80 years)! There is also the possibility to open a business, which enables you to really own the place and in addition to get a residence permit. A bit complicated though and not cheap (but not expensive either). You can get more information about that at www.okusi.net.
4) The beach part below belongs to the valley. Anybody who wants to put up his tent there or build himself a simple hut may do so free of charge. There is also a plot in the valley where one can do the same. No rental agreement needed, but of course we expect the guests to behave themselves. Whoever wants professional help with building a hut: With around 300 Euro a decent hut can be built already.
