    New Zealand Visa For Indonesian Spouse

    I agree, the tone and terms of that visa rejection seem incredibly rude and unreasonable.

    New Zealand Visa For Indonesian Spouse

    @PERtoDPS As far as I know, booking flights is absolutely required before applying for the NZ visa, and I thought for the Aus visa too. Seems like a huge and unreasonable risk to me.

    New Zealand Visa For Indonesian Spouse

    That is encouraging, thanks. Do you mind me asking, did she have a job in Bali when you applied? My wife is not working anymore. She quit her job after we got married, my idea, because I wanted her to have more free time with me. Will 20 million rupiah in her bank account be enough?

    New Zealand Visa For Indonesian Spouse

    Can anyone advise about the visa process for bringing my Indonesian wife to New Zealand for tourism? I’m American and my wife is Balinese. Of course we both have plenty of funds in our bank accounts to support the trip, and she’s already visited other first world countries with me before...

    Everything that’s bad about Indonesia, you can see in Lion

    No, I definitely wouldn't. What about PT Nam Air (Sriwijaya) or Wings Abadi? Are they better?

    Where To Buy Electronics?

    Just curious, for those of you who live in Bali. What is the best/most affordable place in SE Asia to get electronics? Laptops, cameras, drones, phones, etc. Last time I was in Bali it seemed like the prices for electronics were astronomical for any recent tech. Was I looking in the wrong...

    Bali Fast Boat Safety?

    Ah yes, I meant if one is visiting Lombok just for the sake of visiting Lombok, then maybe the flights are a better option? I'd like to explore Lombok personally next time I'm back. But for the Gili and Nusa islands it definitely seems wise to try to mitigate the risks with these fast boats in...

    Bali Fast Boat Safety?

    For Lombok aren't there cheap flights available from Bali? Seems safer than taking the fast boats in the first place. But for smaller islands like Nusa Penida this is still the only option. I don't recall if the boat I regularly took to NP from Bali had life jackets, but I'm guessing not...

    Bali Fast Boat Safety?

    Also don't some of these fast boats have seating on top of the boat, as opposed to inside the boat? Seems like that would be the safest option if possible.

    Bali Fast Boat Safety?

    Was it ever explained what caused the explosive accidents on multiple Bali ferries in 2016? I'm reading about this just now. I rode fast boats many times on my Bali trip earlier this year and never considered something like this even being a possibility. This is the story...
