In Reply to: Just a side thing on passport copy posted by rogervicta on Saturday, 6. June 2009 at 15:31 Bali Time:
overseas visitors are required to carry their passports at all times.
That is one reason why it is illegal for a hire company to demand your passport be left when hiring a car or motorbike in Asia.
This happens all the time on Thailand destinations but not so much in Bali.
a copy of your passport is always good to have just in case.
