Like everyone said, you can get a 30 day extension on your VOA; you do not need a sponsor. I just did it recently -- I went about a week before my VOA was set to expire and it took 6 days. This was the first time in all my travels where the ''proof of leaving the country'' was actually enforced...

Hi I will be staying in Ubud for one month and am looking to rent a motorbike. Does anyone know a rough idea of what it costs for one month? Anyone have any places they recommend? Thanks!

Hi I am currently renting an apartment for the month in Seminyak. Small, but nice quiet area, free wi-fi, a pool, nicely decorated and clean. Walking distance to the beach. It is 5 million rupiah a month which includes electricity. This may seem steep considering what you can get houses for...

Hello I am currently in the Seminyak/Legian area right by Double Six beach. Does anyone know which immigration office is closer to here, the one by the airport or the one in Denpasar? If they are roughly the same distance, is one better to go to than the other for any reason? Thanks!

Hi all I have been looking through the threads and most of the posts seem to be about social visas. I came across some info on renewing the 30 day tourist visa but it was from early 2010 so not sure if it is still accurate. From what I gather, I can renew at the immigration office near the...

Rental in Sanur Hello I am looking to come to Bali for at least a month or two October 16th..not sure if you were looking to rent the house for that whole time to one person. If not, I would be interested provided it has internet...need it for work. Thanks!

Hello Hoping to come to Bali when my Thai visa is up on October 16th. Interested in staying in Ubud for a month or two, possibly longer. Do not need anything fancy, but my boyfriend and I need internet connection for work. Our budget is about 500 to 600 USD a month.

Hello My boyfriend and I are trying to find a house that offers monthly rentals. I know yearly rentals are common around here but with the amount of tourism here, I imagine there has to be properties that people rent out on a monthly basis. I just got to Bali and have been staying in Sanur. I...

Hello I was offered a job in Bali and have decided not to take it. I have already come here with a work visa in my passport. Intuitively, I felt it was right not to take the job and I figured I should nip it in the bud early rather than drag it out...for some that might make perfect sense while...

Hello I will begin my job in Bali shortly and my contract allows me to leave at any time provided I give 30 days notice. My contract states I must pay back part of the fee they laid out for the working visa, with the amount depending on how much I have left of the contract when I leave. I guess...

Hello Just moved to Bali for work. Will be working in Denpasar and have been staying in Sanur for the last few days and would like to find a house here. I really do not know where to begin. I have seen a couple of signs around town and made some calls but they were way out of my price range...

Hello again! My boyfriend purchased a one way ticket to Bali with me as I will be living there for work. The airline said he would need proof of a ticket back to the US so we found a cheap one way flight from China that we will cancel and get refunded for. I know it is rare for people to be...

Hello all I am moving to Bali for work and my boyfriend will need to get a social visa at some point. I was looking at the Singapore embassy website and according to the application requirements, it only noted proof of a return flight for tourist visas, which leads me to believe that it is not...

I had thought that too but when I talked to the embassy in Washington, he did not mention anything about him not being my husband and said he could apply for the social through me. That led me to believe it was okay unless the person I was speaking to gave me the wrong information.

Thanks so much for the info. That is good to know. He has never traveled before so I know he wants to come there with me and I could tell he was not keen on waiting here without me to apply for the visa in the States.

I have seen on the forums that it appears paying for a house upfront for at least a year is the norm in Bali. I am coming there soon for work and my savings have not accumulated in the manner that I had hoped. Is renting month to month a realistic possibility? I will be working in Denpasar but I...

Hello I will be working in Bali shortly and my boyfriend is coming with me. I spoke to the Indonesian embassy in Washington DC and they said I cannot sponsor him for a social visa until I am actually in Indonesia with the KITAS and he mentioned about my boyfriend applying after I get all of...

Hello I am planning on coming to Bali whether through employment there or on my own...if I go the latter route, I might be able to get social visa sponsorship right off the bat, before leaving the states. I see they require proof of a leaving Indonesia through an airline ticket,etc...from what...

Hello I see a lot in the forums about the social visa and I have become quite familiar with what it entails, how to get it,etc... If you come to Bali on a tourist visa and want to obtain a social visa, can you change it in Bali or do you need to leave the country?

I was just curious about the backgrounds of some of the people here on the forum. Are you retired? Do you work for an Indonesian company? Did you manage to get permanent residency? Keeping renewing a social visa? Run an independent business? I interviewed for a job in Bali and if I do not get...
