In Reply to: Bali friend to Aust posted by balimum on Saturday, 16. April 2005 at 15:15 Bali Time:
our friend here and it was just a wonderful experience. We sent copy bank statement (was not aware of minimum balance) letter of invitation which also stated that we would provide all meals and spending money during her stay. Also copies of our passport photos, I also emailed a copy of letter of invitation of Australian Consulate in Bali and Novi got her visa in record time 4 hours usually take a few days. We also transferred money to her account to pay for the airfare in Bali it was peak season here Jan 2 and return airfare flying Garuda only cost us $600.00US I got a lot of wonderful advice from this forum and It was not difficult at all to arrange. We are from Sydney and squashed everything we could into 1 week and to see our beautiful city through someone elses eyes is something I will never forget. SO GO FOR IT and if I can be of any help please post a message
cheers
