Hello Everyone, I am hoping there will bo some nice people out there that can help us with some questions about out trip to Bali in November this year. We are a Canadian couple and really looking forward to spending a month off our hectic lives back home. Any replies to our questions would be greatly appreciated.
1) We have heard that we must register with local police if we find accomodations other than a hotel (say rent a home from someone), is this true? Is there money involved?
2) When we arrive we are issued a tourist visa? How long is it good for? I was under the impression we got a month but we have read that you can only get 15 days and you have to get another. I am a little confused about this issue, any information on what we can expect to get through customs would be great.
3) November, what is the weather like for Ubud? That is where we are looking to stay. How are mosquitos? (The house we are looking to rent has a lot of out door space. How about for the rest of Bali, I know it is rainy season but how bad is it? (We do not like going with the hords in high season.)
4) The house we are lookin at renting is two bedroom and looks really nice from pics, about 15 min outside Ubud for $375USD. Does this sound fair? The place is really beutiful but without pool etc. It does not have aircon is this a bad idea or is that okay for that area?
5) We are looking to move to Bali...hence the trip..are there any expat groups/clubs that meet somewhere regularly that welcome wannabees?
We would like to talk to some people about what its like, legal issues, referals for agents/contractors and of course sample the local beers with.
Okay I am done now...a thank you to all in advance that help us out. Hope you all are well and enjoyng life to the fullest...best wishes.
