It is important to also note the following:
The Visa on Arrival is non-extendable and cannot be converted into a different visa.
The Visa purchasing system will take approximately 3-5 minutes per applicant.
There are 6 payment counters, a bank and a money changer set up to process payments.
Once you have paid for and received your visa you will need to proceed to Immigration where your visa will be processed.
Citizens of countries not on the visa on arrival or visa free lists will be required to apply for a visa before entering Indonesia.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Indonesia, and you must have proof of onward
passage (either return or through tickets). If you cannot fulfill both of these requirements, you may not be allowed to enter the
country.

Credit Cards
Major credit cards are acceptable in most hotels along with American dollar traveler's cheques.
Electricity
Most hotels use 220 volts, 50 cycles and a round, two-pronged slim plug. Bathroom shaver plugs usually have a transformer switch.
We suggest taking an adaptor for your appliance.
Getting Around
You will find a range of chauffeur driven limousines, self-drive cars, taxis and hotel courtesy cars. Many taxis are not metered so
it's wise to negotiate the fare before you climb aboard. Bemos are a unique form of transport. They are a mini-van masquerading as a
communal bus. You simply hail the driver and negotiate the fare that suits you both. Motorcycles can also be hired in many places but
special care should be exercised at all times as road and traffic conditions can be somewhat hazardous in certain locations. Traveling
around Bali is made all the easier because everywhere you go you'll find friendly people only too happy to give you advice and
directions on how to get where you want to go.
Driver's License
If you wish to hire a car you must be over 18 years of age and posses an International Driver's License or license from ASEAN
countries.
Clothing
Light, airy, casual clothes are the most practical and you'll find natural fibers like cotton or linen are the most comfortable in
Bali's often humid conditions. Waist sashes should be worn when visiting temples.
