    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    Ungodly expensive is meant to be a relative term compared to Indonesian living costs, to which I have become accustomed, after living in Bali for 27 years. If I am not mistaken, and it certainly wouldn't be a first, the Road Tax for owners of cars registered in SIngapore is North of a juta per...

    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    Thanks everybody for good input. My daughter will arrive on the first flight, and come back on the last flight the following day. Visa already sorted. I am excited for her to see Singapore, as it will blow her mind. Ungodly expensive, but such a great cultural melting pot. World class people...

    Happy New Year everybody. Let's help to make this the year wherein inclusivity, acceptance & compassion become the Global norms. Any one else remember when Corona Testing meant going and checking in the pantry? And if the results were positive, to having a "new case of Corona", it was a good...

    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    It looks like that is how we are going to handle it,too. I spoke with my agent and we are moving ahead in that way, but with my WNI spouse as her sponsor, as they have a Surat Kuasa for her. Thanks for the info. (y)

    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    That is what we have been trying for, a lawyer with whom I spoke suggested pretending she was not in country. Which is what needs be done to get the ball rolling, and get it done quickly, but if the system flags her passport number as being in country we would be between a rock and a hard...

    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    It appears that a red flag comes up, because she is currently in country, when we try to do it online. But, yes, you are right, I have been meaning to visit my agent, and will do so shortly. Thanks for lighting the fire under me. I don't mind that she has to leave, but would rather not have to...

    Bali visa application turn around time from Embassy in Singapore?

    My Ex-WNI affidavit daughter (now a US citizen) returned to Bali from a college class trip to Perth. She came in on a paid VOA, which has already been extended once, and so is now non-renewable. Her VOA extension is valid until the 19th, and we have booked her an outbound flight from Bali to...

    Billiard/Pool/8 Ball in Jakarta

    Preaching to the choir. Shoot the shot, not the messenger. I have never been there at night, nor seen either of those VIP Rooms in use. I had already played there a few times before I even noticed that they were there. Intimate private party spots in a Pool Hall environment would be how to look...

    Billiard/Pool/8 Ball in Jakarta

    In Bali "The Ship" on Teuku Umar in Denpasar has about 30 Regulation size 4.5 'x 9' Pool Tables and one 6' x 12' Snooker Table. Two of those tables are in VIP rooms which also have Karaoke setups and big screen. Hourly rates 42,000 per hour for a table. Unpretentious, but I play there a...

    Well ruffle my hair and call me Elvis! Hemp education?

    Understood, and very widely reported...whence my amazement, seeing :unsure: that link. First visit to Bali was in '77, have lived here since '95, the offense is no different, than has happened many times before, resulting in very severe prison sentences and fines.

    Well ruffle my hair and call me Elvis! Hemp education?

    Not exactly :sleep: holding my breath, it just struck me as rather counter-intuitive, here. Unlike in Thailand. Is Medical :oops: Tobacco a thing these days? Talk about :unsure: Over the Counter-intuitive!

    Well ruffle my hair and call me Elvis! Hemp education?

    This was sent to me by a friend...very interesting indeed. https://thethaiger.com/news/regional/indonesia-en/thailand-teaches-indonesia-how-to-legalise-cannabis Too hot to handle? I wasn't trying to lead anyone down the Garden Path, I just found it quite surprising, and newsworthy. Not meant...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    Shouldn't such personal matters between consenting adults, discreetly be treated as such, & self policed...No harm, no foul? :unsure:

    Questionnaire for my thesis about tourism (I would appreciate your help!)

    I was happy to try and help you by filling this out, but as a resident of Bali, my three or four disqualifying answers only took me a few seconds to answer. Kudos for thinking to do this however, and expressing your intentions quite clearly. Good luck with your thesis. (y)

    High-Ranking Indonesian Police Turn On Each Other

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely? Many years ago I heard that it cost about 100 juta to join the police force at the entry level. A preemptive payment for what is often abused and misconstrued as a license to steal under color of authority. Is it any wonder then that this misbehaviour is...

    Indo Netflix

    I tried a few of those type deals, and bottom line? They were all shared accounts, which were oversubscribed, making it very difficult to use. At any given time you might be denied access because all available profiles were already in use. One of the annual subscriprion ones worked fine for...
