afford to have them stay as a guest. The $30 is the minimum the consulate considers adequate to cover daily costs....go figure.
So you need to submit a copy of your most recent bank statement and also a copy of your pay slip.
I know of some people who have taken out personal loans to 'top up' their bank accounts so that it 'appears' they are able to cover costs.
If you want to open a bank account in bali i am not 100% sure of the amount required but think 500,000 rp covers it... cheers hope this helps you...
