Bali Business visa rules explained

Okay here’s the deal on Bali Business Visas. This morning I went down to Arjuna on Jl. Petitenget in Kerobokan. They looked closed, I mean permanently closed, probably moved location, and I’m not really that keen to find out where to.

Down in Kuta I bumped into Dallas Finn, founder of Bali Peace Park, the organisation that wants to build a memorial on the site of the Sari Club. We chatted about the supposed new visa laws, he offering to go with me to BaliMode, a place on the loop near the bottom of Jl. Legian. BaliMode handles investment, visas, exports, imports. spoke to their manager Tari, who seemed pretty switched on. She told me Multiple Entry Business Visas were denied extensions, starting 2 days ago. I hate to invoke Murphy’s Law, but don’t you love spending cash for new paperwork, flying to Singapore and spending more money for processing, only to end up with a worthless visa. I will have to leave again in 30 days to apply for a Single Entry Business Visa, which is extendable. AHHHH!!!! The nimrods in Jakarta just love to screw with things and all it does is waste time and money.

There are expats all over Bali who are at this moment, completely unaware of these events. Many people like me will have to rush to get airline tickets and paperwork organized. I guess it could be worse, they could of stopped visa extensions altogether, meaning you either get a VOA, Tourist Visa or KITAS. That really would see the back of many people who live here.

Check out BaliMode for your visa needs.
