Thread: Sos Bud Sponsors letter for a family

Hi all,
I am currently in the process of organizing our move to Bali, Yay !!!
Iv been doing quiet a lot of research and have found most of the information I require from this forum, thankyou.
There is two things I'm still not sure of though, they are;
1, For my Sos bud sponsors letter do I need each person applying named with passport numbers etc within the one letter, or 1 sponsor letter per person ???
(I am applying from Australia)

2, How long roughly does it take from the time I send my passport off (via Bali consulate in Melbourne), to when I will get it back ???

Any help offered, I would be very grateful for, Thanks.

I believe each person needs to have there information on the letter

4 days at most. If you are sending/posting allow time for the post to do everything but it will only stay at the consulate for 4 days

P.s once in Bali I would recommend you stay away from Bali Mode Sriwijaya Jln (Melasti) I cant speak for other Bali Modes but they were the worst company I have ever dealt with inc Tiger Airways!

Thanks for the information and the advise.

I could not find any info anywhere related to sponsors letters for families, much appreciated.

Same for the advise, its good to get a heads up about these places before hand.

Cheers

Just a further note, It all depends on who you speak with - Much like Indonesia! So what one might say is neccesary the next wont. I got quite lucky, my boyfriend was from the same village as the consulate official so I needed the basics.. call someone up, find someone who is flexible and address it direct to them.. He also came in alot of help since I have been here also :) life long contact!
