Hi There
You will be fine with clothes that you would need to wear while you are there. Tank tops, Shorts, TShirts, Cool Dresses. I am a size 18 and was a bit worried this time about going because I could remember last time that the clothes did not go to bigger sizes. (That was in 1987). But we went last September and there was plenty to choose from in Large, Extra Large etc. You don't need to get too dressed up for most of the restaurants etc. You could take a couple of nice outfits if you a planning on going out to up market restaurants, night clubs or hotels but otherwise you should find plenty to fit you.
If you mean the visa you pay for when you arrive, it is US$25.00 and you pay it at imigration as you enter the country. It is advisable to have the US$ for that payment and the right money depending on how many people you have in your group.
Other than that, you will only need A$ for the rest of the trip. We always take the cash with us and split it between my husband and myself in money belts. Once we get to the hotel we put the cash in the safe in our room and just take out what we need and change it as we need to.
Hope this helps.
Have a fantastic time. It is the best place on earth. We have just booked again for 2 weeks for this September.
Bali Bagus
