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.

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.
