Rental Villas & visa
I would like to rent a villa in Ubud, Seminyak and Sanur for two months at each location between May and November 2011. Prefer 3br. Does anyone know of any for reasonable rent and within walking distance of main centres. Would also like information on a six month visa and what it entails. Can this be organised from Perth?
It's difficult to get short term leases like 2 months. I would suggest getting a place for 6 months and making short trips and just staying in a guest house to other parts of the island.
About the visa, it depends on what you will be doing in Bali, working, retiring etc.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
Be aware that if you enter into a lease agreement for a villa/unit in bali you are required to hold a KITAS visa. The onus is upon the foreigner to have the correct visa. Apparently immigration officers have been conducting spot checks on foreigners in the Seminyak area. If you're caught out you will be asked to leave the country.
What the Feck are you talking about Cheynewalk?
Explain to me how immigration officers in Seminyak are conducting this spot check?
Are they hanging around outside villas waiting for bule to come out?
How will they know if the Bule are only here for 1/2 months?
Or renting the villa on a daily/weekly basis?
Do they expect Bule to walk around with their passports?
I think your statement is massive bollocks, only my personal opinion mind you

1. No you dont need a kitas
2. The owner of the property is responsible for you siging "his little black book" with your home address, passport number, date of arrival at said property, and approx date of departure. Owner must do this for tax purposes
3. It is the Police that actually do spot checks on foreigners, and they usually do this, if someone else has made a complaint: eg running a business from a residential place when they are on a social visa, and stuff like that. Seen it happen on a few occasions
4. The local Banjar also call on the renter, for donations, so it is wise to give them a decent wack, as they can also dob you in
Hope this helps
I have just learnt that pleasing everyone is impossible. But, pissing them off is a piece of cake
The owner of the property is responsible for providing your details to the police, however it is your responsibility to have the correct visa, which in the case of a lease is a KITAS.
Immigration officers are obviously getting their information from police sources.
Markit, I suggest you check the regulations on visas to this country
You must be joking. They know EVERYTHING about you. That's how village life works. How long have you lived here?
hello, i have just taken a 15 year lease out on a villa, i was planning on staying there on and off for 6 mths at a time, not working, for this i understand i need to have a social visa which must be renewed every 2 months for up to a period of 6 months, then a new visa must be applied for and you must leave the country for a couple of days...is this correct...?? thak you ...tikus :)1. No you dont need a kitas

Yep! you've blown my socks clean off!
How can anyone sign a 15 year lease on a villa and not know how he's gonna stay in the country long enough to enjoy it?
Would you like to buy a bridge in San Francisco?
I've always wondered about these stories you hear now and again about people that buy villas from taxi drivers - was yours named Made?
Sorry but I must be losing it - it must just be me...
