In Reply to: aussie holiday for balinese info wanted posted by baligirl on Saturday, 15. December 2007 at 20:07 Bali Time:
out our balinese friend a couple of years ago. The airline ticket has to be purchased in Bali as it is way to expensive the here. We just deposited money into Nov's account and she arranged the ticket and relevant costs herself. We also supplied a letter to the Consulate in Bali stating that she was our guest and that all meals and spending monies to be at our cost. We also put in a small itenary eg. Zoo, Blue Mountains. We also had to provide copy of bank statement and our passports, we blanked out the account no. The best advice I got from this forum before hand was to get insurance for our guest. I had never thought of this so contacted our TA and she arranged same for about $60.00 pretty cheap when you realise not being citizens could end up costing yourself thousands. I must say apart from visiting Bali this was one of the best things we as a family have experienced and we will always treasure the memories.
If I can help further please do not hesitate to ask
