I am currently trying to buy a villa in Bali. I asked my brokerage firm in the U.S. to wire some money to an account in Bali (not mine but the house owner's) and found to my dismay that they have Indonesia on an "Uncooperative Country" list and refuse to do any money wires to Bali.
What can I do? I am a U.S. citizen and reside in France. I would like to know if I can open a bank account in dollars in Bali, write a check in dollars from my US. accounts and deposit it in the new account and then somehow get that money to the house owner.
Is this easy? Is it possible? I need to know quickly because I am leaving in two days!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
