TRAVEL
TIPS
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.

Accommodation
As you can imagine there's an enormous
variety of accommodation available in
Bali. It varies from magnificent five
star resorts to simple jungle cabins,
depending on the location and your holiday
budget. |

Credit
Cards
Major credit cards are acceptable in
most hotels along with American dollar
traveler's cheques.
    |

Electricity
Most hotels use 220 volts, 50 cycles
and a round, two-pronged slim plug.
Bathroom shaver plugs usually have a
transformer switch. We suggest taking
an adaptor for your appliance. |

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. |
