BALI TRAVEL INFORMATION
|
Passports and Visas
Visitors from USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and most
of Western Europe don't need a visa to enter Indonesia. Provided you
have a ticket out of the country and your passport has at least six
months validity at the time of your arrival, you'll be issued with
a tourist card which is valid for a 60-day stay. Keep the card with
your passport as you'll have to hand it back when you leave the country.
It is good for 60 days, not two months, some travelers have been fined
for overstaying by only a day or so. It is not possible to get an
extension on a tourist visa, unless there is a medical emergency or
you have to answer legal charges. There are visas, particularly a
business visitor's visa, which may be valid for a longer period. The
immigration office is in Denpasar. If you have to visit this office,
make sure you wear your most respectable clothes. |

| Getting
Around
You will find a range of chauffeur driven limousines,
self-drive cars, taxis and hotel courtesy cars. Many taxis
are not metered so it's wise to negotiate the fare before
you climb aboard. Bemos are a unique form of transport. They
are a mini-van masquerading as a communal bus. You simply
hail the driver and negotiate the fare that suits you both.
Motorcycles can also be hired in many places but special care
should be exercised at all times as road and traffic conditions
can be somewhat hazardous in certain locations. Traveling
around Bali is made all the easier because everywhere you
go you'll find friendly people only to happy to give you advice
and directions on how to get where you want to go. |

| Driver's
License
If you wish to hire a car you must be over 18 years of
age and posses an International Driver's License or license
from ASEAN countries. |
| |
| Clothing
Light, airy, casual clothes are the most practical and you'll
find natural fibers like cotton or linen are the most comfortable
in Bali's often humid conditions. Waist sashes should be worn
when visiting temples. |
