    Agents cannot help you with a visa?

    Anyone know if this is legit? I was counting on the help of an agent, because I will shortly return from outlying islands to Bali with an almost-expired 211 (Sosial) visa which needs renewing in a hurry. I contacted the agent Yani but she hasn't responded to me yet! Thanks, Bill Breaking...

    Hi, is it true that you can only pay for your Visa on Arrival (30 day short stay) in US dollars cash? Can I pay by Australian debit card? Is it still the rules that you need a return ticket booked in order to get the visa?

    Cheapest airfares for 30 years

    Should be good for Bali also considering the free VOA now for Australians and about half the world. Time for you Markit to leave the jungle for a holiday to civilisation Airfares sink to 30 year low say Flight Centre and to fall more

For example you ask them to buy 10 loaves of bread and they only buy 5 and pocket the difference. Or a customer buys...
