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.
