lastjanuary We had to send a letter of invitation indicating itenary also that we would supply all meals and monies required for Novi during her stay. Also had to send copy of bank statement, also copies of our passports we had no problems I also send a email to the Consulate in Bali and Novi's visa was ready in 2 hours which is amazing. The best advice that I also was given from this forum is make sure you get travel insurance for your guest, we organised through our travel agent in Oz but I have since been advised you can organise in Bali much cheaper. Also it is much cheaper to purchase airline tickets in Bali.
Hope all goes well, from experience this was one of the best things we have done playing tour guide for our lovely balinese friend.
cheers
