Hah, i know what you mean with this. It's similar to a true blue Bali girl with a bule, in Bali. A lot of stigma against.

That is very true. Doing it yourself, to have to go into Denpasar 3 or 4 times for the one extension and wait around or fill in forms or whatever is a big hassle. And then add in the travel expenses, it all adds up. I'd rather be doing something else with my time for sure.

I've had VOA extensions. The process is: 1) send an sms 2) the agent comes around to collect the passport 3) 4-5 days later the agent comes back with passport including new VOA extension stamp 4) pay agent the money 5) bid the agent farewell Costs roughly double. No...

I'm no Dr Phil but you know the type, stick the boot in then add a smiley so it's all ok. As long as you're able to get as good as you give it's fine by me. Lots of gold diggers here, for sure. Lots of liars and cheaters too. And that's just the expats! Hah, good one about where the meat...

I'm pretty sure i don't know everything. I was "confused" about the Indo prenup, remember?, so that's at least one thing. But you harping on about how warm and fuzzy the Indo's are is a bit rich considering your awareness of all the "horror stories" and "scamming" and "acting performances"...

Thanks, balibule! If you look carefully i think you'll find he started it. I'm just putting it right. :icon_mrgreen: And now that this thread is morphing into a 'can a foreigner own land' topic, here are some more narrow minded views on this very topic... Bulee's can't own land

Good onya, BKT, way to go making it personal. Looks like I touched a nerve there. You seem to be doing ok posting your own "narrow minded views" on this forum, with impunity, but it's not ok for the gander eh? But please, do us all a favour and do away with the pretense...

"you will also register your pre-nup at the same time" Heh, that's what i'm talking about. At least you had the guts to mention it. So who else here has protected their finances from their Indo wife in this way. Some disclosure might add a little credibility to this thread. Or is it really...

It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Easy peasey balinesey. Anyone could be the most hideous creature back home, no one gives you a first look let alone second, but score yourself the most gorgeous wife here. Wonder why :icon_cool:

Maybe the admin can post anon location stats of forum users.. for example: of the top 100 active ppl on this website, 23% have an Indo IP address. Admin probably already knows, but might be interesting for others too :icon_smile:

Gotta agree with your wife and the other posters... you have rocks in your head. Don't do it!

Bit of an over the top article. Just one bogan with bir in hand walking through Ubud? Please. The writer obviously hasn't been to Little Orrrrstraaya (Kuta). As for the hawkers and transport guys, just respond with a few basic local words and watch their faces light up with a smile. Politely...

Ahh right, yeh, the OP... forgot about him :icon_mrgreen: Yep the International License for a bike just says something about it must have unladen weight not more than 400kg. No mention of cc. But the local polisi usually ask to see both the international + home country bike license too. And...

Sorry i didn't give any more info, i ran out of time and was going to post more later but looks like others already did. i got my bike L's in Oz a couple of yrs ago on a 650cc. The 250cc limit for L's was phased out a few years before that, but it does vary from state to state. If you're...

nou ja, die gekke nederlanders doen alles toch verkeerd. maar niet heus :icon_biggrin:

Sorry, but this isn't correct. :eek:

Really just facing a court automatically means you're a criminal? Interesting :icon_exclaim:

The article is quite specific in referring to the ninth bombing anniversary "this week" as well as some other stuff that happened "last month", which it did (September). This includes info about Zena Friedman which i know happened only 2 weeks ago. So, ummm, it can't have been written 2...

in that case, hopefully there won't be any more tourist/sosbud/voa visa threads then

Well said, couldn't agree more about your take on what's going on and what the authorities are doing about it :icon_smile:
