Sunblock is essential, and most surfers wear a rash-vest as well.  &lt;br /&gt;• Insects, especially the stinging variety, can be bothersome, annoying, and sometimes downright dangerous. Avoid open-air eating areas. Avoid highly perfumed products. Many soaps, shampoos, and lotions contain strong fragrances that attract insects. &lt;br /&gt;• Higher altitudes tend to have lower insect populations, and hence less risk of insect bites. The best bet is to follow some simple precautions to avoid stinging, buzzing bugs, and thereby have a more pleasant holiday: &lt;br /&gt;• Avoid swimming in small ponds or pools of water. Stagnant water is the favorite breeding ground of mosquitoes. Also, mosquitoes come out to feed at dusk, so try and remain indoors during this time. While camping, remember to take along mosquito netting as an added precaution.  &lt;br /&gt;• Don't lie on the bare grass or sand. Always use a towel, mat, or blanket between you and the ground. Don't lay your clothes directly on the ground, since the perspiration or other scents on them may attract insects. Hang your clothes up, and always remember to shake them out before wearing them again. Always remember to shake out your shoes and socks before putting them back on.  &lt;br /&gt;• Use tweezers to remove any kind of sting from the surface of the skin. Apply them as close as possible to the point of entry and pull slowly and steadily until the sting comes out. Exception: never remove a bee's stinger by squeezing it. Instead, use a credit card, fingernail, or other semi-rigid flat object to scrape it off your skin, being careful not to squeeze the attached sac. &lt;br /&gt;• To minimize chemical exposure, dress in shoes, socks, pants, and long-sleeved shirts, so you can spray your clothing instead of large areas of skin. Apply repellent sparingly to the remaining exposed skin.  &lt;br /&gt;• Remember to reapply the repellent every few hours, as the effectiveness wears off over time. Always reapply repellent after swimming, heavy perspiration, or exposure to rain, as water may reduce its effectiveness.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-5658782645948331596?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/5658782645948331596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=5658782645948331596' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/5658782645948331596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/5658782645948331596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-hazards.html' title='Tips | Hazards'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-7560309796588408733</id><published>2008-08-24T06:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T06:30:42.589-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips | Enjoying Your Day</title><content type='html'>• Be kind to your body and eat a good breakfast before you go. You'll need the energy, but be sure to leave time for the meal to settle before you get to the venues. Take a restroom break whenever you are close to a restroom. &lt;br /&gt;• Don't leave your valuables unattended on the beach and are amazed to find them gone when you return. Carefully with your belongings at all times. You won't know, crime may happen anywhere and surely can ruin your trips. Leave your expensive items in your hotel safe. An affluent appearance makes you a more attractive target for thieves. &lt;br /&gt;• Don't looking like a tourist by dressing conservatively and being inconspicuous with your camera and map.  &lt;br /&gt;• Arrive early, you'll get a good parking place. Many venues charge for parking, so make sure to include this in your budget. Most venues have enough parking, so your biggest problem probably won't be finding a space, but finding your way back to it at the end of the day.  &lt;br /&gt;• Don't follow the crowd, look for the road less traveled. You should look through the venue's map and see if you can decide on a place to rest. Make a plan that will leave you in that area when it is time to eat.  &lt;br /&gt;• You should also locate the venue's restrooms while you have the map out so that you'll be able to take advantage of them when one is in the area.  &lt;br /&gt;• Agree on a meeting place if you get separated. While you're still all together and you have the map out, find a central meeting place for everyone in case you get separated.  &lt;br /&gt;• You'll be tempted with lots of tasty treats all day. Remember that your body is already stressed by all the activity so try to fit some healthy food into your day. Rich foods are more difficult for your body to digest.  &lt;br /&gt;• When buying souvenirs, remember you might have to carry them until the end of the day. Many venue's will close their rides, but still leave their shops open for a while. This will also allow the parking lot some time to thin out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-7560309796588408733?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/7560309796588408733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=7560309796588408733' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7560309796588408733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7560309796588408733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-enjoying-your-day.html' title='Tips | Enjoying Your Day'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-8492894360209879741</id><published>2008-08-24T06:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T06:28:45.220-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips | On Activity</title><content type='html'>• Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Plenty of water will help your body to make it through the day.  &lt;br /&gt;• Swim between the lifesavers' flags. Don't swim outside designated swimming areas on the beach, Bali's currents can be very strong rips.  &lt;br /&gt;• Don't swim in the sea at night or when the beach is unpatrolled. Jet-ski accidents are common because of the speed these craft travel at. Be careful.  &lt;br /&gt;• Don't parasail with cheap, unlicensed amateurs. Only use major companies that are insured.  &lt;br /&gt;• Pay attention to ride height and health restrictions; they are there for a reason. If you try to sneak in when you were advised not to ride and ignore the posted warnings, you may end up suffering for the rest of your trip.  &lt;br /&gt;• It's also advisable to bone up on your first-aid knowledge, especially mouth-to-mouth resuscitation techniques, which can be life-saving if someone's been knocked out on a remote break. &lt;br /&gt;• You should consider mixing some indoor shows, or theater rides with outdoors or action rides. This will give you some much needed little breaks to sit down and cool off throughout the day.  &lt;br /&gt;• You'll want to have a plan to get to see as much as possible. Use the venue's map and tip board to help you plan your day. You want to avoid killing yourself by walking back and forth across the venues. Be sure to note the location of lost and found, restaurants, water fountains and restrooms on the venue's map.  &lt;br /&gt;• Check out the tip board for character appearances, time and other helpful information such as wait times, hours open, height, age and health restrictions.  &lt;br /&gt;• Since many of the parks have water rides that are designed to get you wet and cool you off; you might want to also consider the see through factor of your clothing if it gets wet  &lt;br /&gt;• Wear a hat, sunglasses, comfortable and supportive shoes &lt;br /&gt;• Cover your body with a strong sunscreen &lt;br /&gt;• Use some baby powder with cornstarch to help keep your feet and other body parts dry.  &lt;br /&gt;• Avoid wearing jewelry or other loose items that could get caught or become uncomfortable on the rides  &lt;br /&gt;• If you come without equipment, you'll find plenty of water sport shops, selling boards, spare fins and leashes and brand-name sportwear&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-8492894360209879741?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/8492894360209879741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=8492894360209879741' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/8492894360209879741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/8492894360209879741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-on-activity.html' title='Tips | On Activity'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-1843422718059865859</id><published>2008-08-24T06:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T06:26:19.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips | Things To Bring</title><content type='html'>• Check your travel insurance does it cover your activities. &lt;br /&gt;• Wherever you go, even you want to spend your time on the beach, don't forget to bring sunblock. The Bali sun is very strong and you'll be exposed to it for much of the day. A burn will ruin your whole trip.  &lt;br /&gt;• Don't forget the tops of your ears and wear protective, loose, comfortable clothing. It is recommended to bring swimsuits and towel, in case you want to swim.  &lt;br /&gt;• Always cover your head with a scarf or hat, and if wearing shorts, the backs of your knees. They can also help keep you cool and save you from burning. But, you'll have to hold on to them the whole day, so don't bring the ones you'll be upset about losing. &lt;br /&gt;• Consider bringing raingear or sunglasses. Always check weather reports to see if you'll need it for a few minutes or hours.  &lt;br /&gt;• Forget high fashion, you want to be able to enjoy all your days at the venues. Wear cool and comfortable clothing. Since many of the venues have water rides that are designed to get you wet and cool you off; you might want to also consider the see through factor of your clothing if it gets wet.  &lt;br /&gt;• Wear clothing to protect against poison of plants, ivy or sumac. This generally means wearing long socks, keeping your feet covered and, if at all possible, wearing long pants. Light-colored clothing and broad-brimmed hats can help protect against ticks, as can tucking your pants into your socks. Around dusk, be sure you're wearing clothing that will protect you from mosquitoes.  &lt;br /&gt;• Bring extra clothing. It may get too warm and you may wish to strip down, or it may become unexpectedly chilly or wet.  &lt;br /&gt;• Wear cool, comfortable and supportive shoes. You are going to spend a lot of time on your feet. Bring an extra pair of shoes and socks to leave in your car, in case one pair gets wet.  &lt;br /&gt;• Carry a small first aid kit with you in case of an emergency.  &lt;br /&gt;• Be sure to take plenty of water along, especially if traveling to remote areas.  &lt;br /&gt;• Make sure to carry calorie-dense food such as energy bars, chocolate, hard-boiled eggs, sweets, and nuts. These are generally lightweight and provide the necessary energy to keep you going.  &lt;br /&gt;• You might bring a collapsible plastic water cup to assist you at the drinking fountains and a fanny pack to do the work of carrying all the items you'll need.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-1843422718059865859?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/1843422718059865859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=1843422718059865859' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/1843422718059865859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/1843422718059865859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-things-to-bring.html' title='Tips | Things To Bring'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-7795013158537896759</id><published>2008-08-24T06:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T06:24:19.208-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tips | Planning Your Activities</title><content type='html'>• Make a plan before you go. Get a list of the activities and everyone in the planning. If the venues are so large; you may not be able to see everything even if you have more than one day at the venues. Some of the activities are so awesome; you may want to try to enjoy them more than once. &lt;br /&gt;• Go off-season when the venues are less crowded, but check the venues' hours to make sure they haven't cut too much time out of your day. Many venues have longer hours during certain days. Check to see if you can make it on one of those days.  &lt;br /&gt;• Go on days when the venue is open extra hours. Check the daily attendance records and go on the lighter days. Surprisingly, the weekend may be less crowded since many are using the weekend as traveling days for their week long vacations. Get there early  &lt;br /&gt;• Use the map when you plan to avoid crisscrossing. Get a list of the rides or a map of the venue. You may not be able to see everything even if you have more than one day at the venue.  &lt;br /&gt;• Check the venues opening times, they do change. Some will open earlier or close later on certain days thus giving you more bang for the buck  &lt;br /&gt;• It is better for you to rent a car for your family when you want to go somewhere because they will deliver you everywhere in Bali. In Bali not all places can be passed by public transport. Ask a tour operator.  &lt;br /&gt;• Make sure you know your route, and bring along detailed maps of the area. Let someone know how long you plan to be away.  &lt;br /&gt;• Always bring some cash if you go around, in case you need to buy something, because not all places in Bali accept credit card. It is possible to draw money from the many ATMs. &lt;br /&gt;• Before you make reservations, you might want to call ahead to find out about any special events that are taking place around the time of your vacation. The venues publish schedules with this information and these can be found by directly contacting the venues and are also available at tourist information centers and your hotels.  &lt;br /&gt;• Get your tickets from the authorized agents ahead of time to avoid the line at the gate.  &lt;br /&gt;• Remember that some of the activities have height restrictions. Many activities also have health warnings for items such as pregnancy or heart trouble. It is better to plan in advance than to build up a activity as a must see only to find a restriction that will keep some from going on the activity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-7795013158537896759?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/7795013158537896759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=7795013158537896759' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7795013158537896759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7795013158537896759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-planning-your-activities.html' title='Tips | Planning Your Activities'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-2997681720188900718</id><published>2008-08-24T06:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T06:22:47.553-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Activities | Tips</title><content type='html'>GOING on a holiday that includes outdoor activities is one of the most rewarding ways to enjoy leisure time.

Treat your passport like money!&lt;br /&gt;• If there is no need to carry your passport around. Lock it away in a safety deposit box in your hotel or some where you are comfortable that it is safe. Jot down your passport number and visa number on a piece of paper just in case. Its better to lose that than your passport.&lt;br /&gt;• It's advisable to travel with a copy of passport. This should be kept separate from the original in case you lose your passport or for repatriation purposes. If you're traveling with your spouse, a copy of your marriage license is necessary.&lt;br /&gt;• Don't give your passport to anyone. Some people claim to be 'officials' who need to verify your ID.&lt;br /&gt;• If you do lose your passport, or it gets stolen, notify the local police and your consulate immediately. Make sure you have your copy and identification with you when you report the loss. &lt;br /&gt;• Extending a visa is impossible, one must leave the country and come back in again. But this is a simple matter of going to Singapore or Australia and coming back the same day to renew your visa. It is quite common. The Indonesian government does not approve of people working on these visas, yet they continue to grant them to people who repeatedly come back to Indonesia after a short trip outside the country.&lt;br /&gt;• Between August to October 2001, the Indonesian government announced a regulation wherein all expatriates resident in Indonesia must register with the Immigration Department for an Expatriate Registration number. Take your original passport, KITAS or KITAP, Buku Mutasi and two 3X4 cm photos to the Immigration office that issued your visa. No need to bring photocopies of anything - just the originals. Fill out their form in duplicate. The whole procedure takes about 15 minutes and is free.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-2759579563685032119?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/2759579563685032119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=2759579563685032119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/2759579563685032119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/2759579563685032119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/05/paperwork-tips-on-staying.html' title='Paperwork Tips -On Staying'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-6281990654393626689</id><published>2008-05-07T07:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-07T14:08:30.465-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Paperwork  Tips -

This sponsorship is required before a semi-permanent visa and work permit can be processed. The Indonesian government has strict guidelines on what foreign expertise is required for the development of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passport&lt;br /&gt;If you've already got a passport, make sure that it is still valid. You also have to ensure that your passport isn't going to expire while you are away. If it is near expiry, or you don't even have one, leave yourself plenty of time to go through the application process as it can often take quite a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to apply for a visa to Indonesia, your passport must be valid for at least six months. If your passport is nearing expiration, we recommend you renew it to the maximum time allowable before you begin procedures to apply for an Indonesian work permit and visa. And, make sure that their are enough empty pages for stamps and visas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the process of applying for a passport varies from country to country the general requirements are the same. You will need your birth certificate or other official form of identification, photo identification, an application form and a couple of passport-size photos. You will also need to pay for your passport. When you are getting your photos taken, get five and keep the extras to take with you for visas and any other uses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visa&lt;br /&gt;MOST tourist of countries in the world free visa enter to Indonesia.

Find out, what kind of Visa that you need to enter Bali and find out the regulations and the services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may want to obtain it from the appropriate foreign consular representative before proceeding abroad. You have two options when applying for your visa: Get it well in advance, because it may take a while to be issued to you, or apply for your visa just before enter to Bali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your choice of these two will be determined by how long it takes to process your visa application and when your visa becomes valid. For example, some visas become valid immediately, so if you don't plan on enter to Bali for another month or two, your visa time is being wasted. Visas can also be purchased at borders, airports and embassies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you will be applying for a visa while you are away, take a passport photo with you (rather than get a photo made while you are there) to save time. If you lose your visa, you must get a new one immediately to prove that you have permission to be there. You may not be allowed to leave Indonesia if you do not have a valid visa. Go to the nearest passport office, embassy or consulate for help in this matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These guidelines determine who can be issued visas:&lt;br /&gt;• Rules and Regulations&lt;br /&gt;   Home Country Custom&lt;br /&gt;Indonesian Custom&lt;br /&gt;Overstays&lt;br /&gt;Reentry&lt;br /&gt;Restrictions on Certain Nationals&lt;br /&gt;• Types of Visa&lt;br /&gt;   Visitor's Visa&lt;br /&gt;Business Visa&lt;br /&gt;Alternate Tourist Visa&lt;br /&gt;• Service&lt;br /&gt;   Diplomatic Visa&lt;br /&gt;Visitation Visa&lt;br /&gt;Transit Visa&lt;br /&gt;Limited Stay Visa&lt;br /&gt;Non-Visa Short Term Visit&lt;br /&gt;• Assistance&lt;br /&gt;   Visa Requirements&lt;br /&gt;Visas and Red Tape&lt;br /&gt;Types of Visa and Cost&lt;br /&gt;Validity&lt;br /&gt;Application to&lt;br /&gt;Information&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-464520487791282222?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/464520487791282222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=464520487791282222' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/464520487791282222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/464520487791282222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/05/visa-passport-papers-procedure.html' title='Visa &amp; Passport - Papers &amp; Procedure'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-278178082724684366</id><published>2008-05-07T06:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-07T06:57:28.232-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Visa &amp; Passport in Bali</title><content type='html'>A PASSPORT and a visa are an essential document when traveling abroad. Many countries require you to purchase both papers before entering their country. It is your ticket in and out of every country in the world. Lose it and you lose the ability to come and go as you please. You probably won't even be allowed to get on the airplane without it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll need a passport and visa to enter Bali to sign in at a hotel, or whenever police ask to see it, which they hardly ever do. Visitors from all other countries must obtain a visa from their local Indonesian consulate or embassy abroad. Make sure your passport is valid for six month upon entry into Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A visa is an endorsement by a foreign country that allows you to visit their country, in the form of a stamp or a piece of paper placed in your passport. Visas usually allow a person to stay in that country for a specified purpose (i.e. work visa, study visa or tourist visa) and amount of time (from one week to one year).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no foreign embassies in Bali, just consulates, some of them with duties for several nations. Most countries maintain an embassy in Jakarta. Please contact the foreign embassies and consulates in Indonesia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-278178082724684366?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/278178082724684366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=278178082724684366' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/278178082724684366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/278178082724684366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/05/visa-passport-in-bali.html' title='Visa &amp; Passport in Bali'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-7376780646345785892</id><published>2008-05-06T12:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T12:12:25.031-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bali Paperwork Tips</title><content type='html'>THIS review of the necessary documents should help to clarify some of the questions newcomers may have about the various documents required. Please follow the guideline:&lt;br /&gt;• Choosing the Agents&lt;br /&gt;• Getting Apply&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choosing The Agents • Look at the classified listings in the local newspaper for names of agents. Tell them you are shopping around to compare prices and that should bring their prices way down.&lt;br /&gt;• Be extremely wary of the claims of an agent who doesn't come highly recommended from friends or colleagues. &lt;br /&gt;• The danger is not only that the agent will charge you an excessive amount for his assistance, but that he will complete the documentation incorrectly. This could, needless to say, cause you numerous difficulties in the future.&lt;br /&gt;• The best bet is to use an agent that has given good service at reasonable rates to your friends and colleagues. Remember, something that sounds too good to be true is usually just that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting Apply • The best time to apply for a driver's license is as early in the morning as possible, Monday through Thursday. The office tends to be busier at the beginning of the month, as opposed to the middle or the end of the month. The worst times to go are on Fridays just before noon, when all the employees take a longer lunch break to go to Friday prayers at the mosque, as well as right before closing time on any day.&lt;br /&gt;• Assuming that the applicant is in possession of all the necessary documents, the entire procedure should not take more than one or two hours, depending on the number of applicants that day. &lt;br /&gt;• If your application is received before 12 am, it will be completed that day. Applications submitted after 12 am will be accepted and processing will begin, but the license will have to be picked up the following day. The office stops accepting new applications after 1 pm, but continues to process the applications submitted earlier that day until 4 pm.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-7376780646345785892?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/7376780646345785892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=7376780646345785892' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7376780646345785892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7376780646345785892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/05/bali-paperwork-tips.html' title='Bali Paperwork Tips'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-5753823382998814748</id><published>2008-05-06T12:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T12:09:54.940-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Paperwork Agents &amp; Services</title><content type='html'>THERE are a many agents (or biro jasa) which can assist you in obtaining your documentation. They range from scam artists to small time operators who have a cousin who works for immigration to legitimate businesses.

This agent knows the procedures and can help you complete the paperwork quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The applicant is only required to meet the agent at the office for their photograph, fingerprints or signature.

These guidelines determine who can be issued work permits. Company sponsorship is required as a first step in order for a foreigner who wants to work in Indonesia to be issued a work permit or visa. This sponsorship is required before a semi-permanent visa and work permit can be processed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living and working in Bali can sometimes be a trying experience. The advisory companies specialize in advice and regulatory counseling for hundreds of prospective residents and business people would provide consultation in the many areas, such as visas, work permits, documents, management formalities, firm licensing, advertising and other business needs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The processes of obtaining proper documentation to live and work in Indonesia can seem like an endless maze of bureaucracy. Lack of posted regulations, irregular application of existing regulations, vested interests and other matters complicate what one would think would be a relatively smooth processing of paperwork for foreigners to live and work in Indonesia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2862185292105528135-7088229251392450583?l=bali-update-listings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/feeds/7088229251392450583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2862185292105528135&amp;postID=7088229251392450583' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7088229251392450583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2862185292105528135/posts/default/7088229251392450583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bali-update-listings.blogspot.com/2008/05/paperwork-regulation-in-bali.html' title='Paperwork Regulation in Bali'/><author><name>putri</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17788893012875049671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862185292105528135.post-8605859399000337857</id><published>2008-04-23T22:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T12:15:27.979-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Agga Citta Villas</title><content type='html'>The Agga Citta Villas are ideally and centrally situated in the heart of Seminyak, just 5 minutes from Legian Beach, 10 minutes from Kuta Beach, 30 minutes from Sanur, Nusa Dua and an hour's drive from the artistic community of Ubud and with it spectacular views of rice fields, palm groves and volcanoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conveniently located, Seminyak's world famous restaurants and fashion boutiques are just a short stroll away or take advantage of Agga Citta's free transport services to get to the beach and shops the Agga Citta puts visitors in the heart of one of Bali's most vibrant neighbourhoods, yet remains a secluded and peaceful retreat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Villa Description •&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guests can choose from variety of configurations to suite any holiday plan.
