#can i go to dubai with us visa

[alexiusgoesrogue]

Status Update: February 7th

The day is upon us. Time to have set an alarm for 8:30am but wake up already at 6. My suitcase is packed, cabin bag stuffed full but still within the measurements the airline allows, of course.

Today’s breakfast is a very large chocolate pudding I had left over from my partner’s sleepover. Unfortunately, I overestimated my hunger and am now stuck with 3/4 left in the bowl as of writing this.

I still have a couple hours left before dad will arrive to embark on our road trip to the Düsseldorf airport.

I also checked one last time whether I really didn’t forget anything I’d need to enter New Zealand, such as the NZeTA, or if I need a transit visa for Dubai or Australia. Luckily, I remembered the website of the foreign office (auswärtiges Amt). It made it so much easier to find the info and reassurance I needed that in fact, my research was correct and I do not need a transit visa for anywhere.

Pudding update: it’s halfway done. Hopefully I can finish the rest before it’s go time.

[k-r-a-s-o-t-aa]

im just rambling im not turkish so everything i say is obviously through the lense of an american who is married to an immigrant to turkey anyway, like i truly have less skin in the game than anyone - i can always go back to the US with my husband and his family can always go back to baku (lmao). his brother got a golden visa in dubai. despite not being democracies at least idk those petrostates have somewhat of an economy to speak for. 

in any case the results last night were really surprising for me, not because erdogan did well and it is going to a second round, there was always that possibility, but because i’m truly like... at a loss for words as to how people could still vote for him? like how are you after all this time still voting for the same person who has presided over the last 10 years? when i saw he got 70% in kahramanmaras i was litearlly shocked like jaw dropped on the floor... im not blaming earthquake victims or anything but i just genuinely wonder what like... secret he’s got to getting people there to vote for him despite theentire god damn region being in rubble!! the akp controls literally everything - from the economy to afad to just random ass school boards - and STILL people voted for him! like the majority of the country is unhappy with the economy and the earthquake response, and the person/party who is directly responsible for it is still getting votes??? like how?? ? i am honestly shocked and sad because there is a lot of stuff i really like in turkey and i would have been happy to stay here and build a life with my husband here but now we’re really just done and definitely going to pursue the options we have of going elsewhere. truly a shame :(

Transcription of an interview with a Nepali migrant worker in Kuwait:

Interviewer: So you went there to pay your debts?

To pay the debt. I have kids. Two kids to send to school.

Interviewer: And did you know that going there on a visit visa would be this difficult at the beginning?

The agent had told me it wouldn't be so difficult. That if it is difficult for you, we will change houses for you. They said you won't be working alone. There will be 3 others working with you. The faster you can work, the faster you can settle down.

Interviewer: How much did you spend to go to Kuwait?

For free. I didn't pay anything. It was free.

Interviewer: So you didn't pay anything?

Yes.

Interviewer: Not even a plane ticket?

No, I didn't have to pay.

Interviewer: So, that was also the reason you went?

Yes.

Interviewer: So, what happened when you arrived in Kuwait? Where were you taken first once you got off the airport?

We went to Dubai. Stayed one night, and then headed to Kuwait. And there was another Nepali in the office, who came to pick me up. And then I started working after 4-5 days.

Interviewer: Where were you living?

In the office. They were keeping me in their flat.

Interviewer: Were there other Nepali women with you?

Yes, there were a ton of them.

Interviewer: What did the others say to you?

Why did you come here? There is nothing but suffering for us here. We have suffered a lot staying here. They said they haven't been able to return to Nepal.

Interviewer: And then you understood that you have been trapped?

I found out the day I arrived. Why did you come? This is how they have kept us. We changed many homes and haven't found a single good home. Why did you come?

Interviewer: Is it true that they also put you up to wrong things there? Did you see it?

I don't know. My friend said it happened to her. She used to say that the Arabis would come to her room and laid hands on her.

Interviewer: So there was a Nepali in the office there, and their job was to sell you?

Yes. I didn't know. When I came to the office to say I won't work here, the Arabi said that I paid $1000 to buy you. Leave after you pay $1000 or I won't allow you to return to Nepal. I will make sure you never go back to Nepal.

Transcription end.

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Many of our youth have no choice but to leave the country because there aren't a lot of opportunities here. The official average income is less than $300 a month but there are many many people who are making nowhere near even that. As of 2023, remittance makes up 26.6% of our GDP. The middle east is a popular destination for Nepali "migrant workers". I put that in quotes because if we were to call it what it actually is, it is human trafficking and modern day slavery. Workers have reported having their passports snatched on arrival. They are denied the right to return, and are stuck doing manual labour under terrible and abusive conditions. There are corpses that arrive everyday in the capital to the families from villages with little to their name that have lost their sole earer.

I was going to post some cute pictures of a temple I visited today but transcribing this interview was more important. I will never forgive the British empire and now the US-western imperialism for what it has done to the people of my country. Fuck India for continuing the legacy of the Brits by continuing to stifle our industrial development. And most of all, fuck the traitors in charge that have enabled this to happen and dare to call themselves communists. Nepal was never occupied by imperial powers but they didn't need to because neo-colonialism has done us over good. I hope the pigs remember no deed will be forgiven or forgotten. There is no peace waiting for them in this life or the afterlife.

2024 Year Ender

Currently Listening to: America - Only in Your Heart Location: Sydney, Australia Mood: Anxiously Melancholic Welcome to the 18th iteration of my Year Ender post. I have written most of this post on a plane on route to Sydney,Australia. As of posting, I’ll be in Sydney to celebrate the New Year near Sydney Opera.. Anyhow, let’s do the 2024 edition of my year ender report!  

1. The biggest highlight of this year is the approval of my Australian Visa and my big move from Dubai, UAE to Canberra, Australia. I was quite surprised that I was expecting my visa to be approved by March this year, but it was approved even earlier around February. Everything went quite quick then. I had a vacation in the Philippines in April, resigned at my job in Dubai in May, moved to Australia in June and finally settled in Canberra by the end of July. Two years of efforts and expeses paid off, and I was quite pleased that I got it. 

2. Travel wise, I definitely went to a lot of places! I went first to Oman in January, has a vacation in the Philippines in April, went to Georgia and Armenia in May, took a 2 week stopover in Singapore before finally flying first to Melbourne at the end of June. I stayed at my cousin’s place for a month to soak in the Australian life before finally moving on my own to Canberra by end of July. I also travelled to Sydney and visited Melbourne again a few more times. I am hoping that by next year, I can finally buy a good e-bike and start of camping around the Canberra area. I also hope to travel to more places, though it’s a bit hard with how far Australia is with everything else. Let’s see what’s in store this coming year! 3. I wouldn’t say that my move to Australia was all rainbows and sunshine. I felt that this year I’m beset by feelings of loneliness and anxiety. I think the biggest challenge for me coming to Australia would be getting used to the cost of living. I found it quite steep to my liking that sometimes at the back of my mind I wonder if relocating to Australia was actually a good idea. I’m also having some challenges with looking for friends. Australians are generally cool people, but sometimes I’m not sure how to interact with them. I am able to communicate and get along with them for the most part, but I’m wondering if I can befriend them to the point of being close to them. I guess only time will tell if I can have really close friends. I was also burned out with a lot of unexpected expenses, like dental and medical expenses which I’ll explain in a bit. I’m quite concerned that there are times where my expenses ate into my savings which I really didn’t like. I was nervous that it was taking me a while to get a job as my savings were getting depleted quite fast. Thankfully after a bit more than a month, I was able to find a job.

4. I guess I must be seen as complaining a bit too much, as while the cost of living is high in Australia, there’s a lot of good things going for it. First of all, the environment is really pristine and peaceful, especially in Canberra. It took me a bit of getting used to, since I was used to cities like Singapore and Dubai where it’s so busy and crowded, but now I got used to the quiet and spacious atmosphere of Canberra. I am also very glad that I was able to get a job as a Content Producer for YWCA Canberra. I feel the job is quite fulfilling, as my role serves a higher purpose of doing advocacy work and righteoous causes, a stark contrast to my previous jobs which is all about selling products. It also helps that the work culture is so chill and not stressful compared to my previous jobs. My colleagues seem to have a positive opinion of me as well, which makes me like my job a lot. I do need a bit of adjustment with other things, but I believe I’ll stay with this orginasation for quite a while!

5. TCG wise, it was pretty much the same deal as last year where it started great but ended quite bad. I had a good start with our team getting top 8 in Springfest in Manila. I also started playing in Australia, and I had a really good experience with a big tournament called Saltfest, where I got 4th place, probably my best record in a singles tournament format so far. Unfortunately my Melbourne BCS run ended short and my Singapore BCS run was even a disaster. I was quite envious of my friend Eman who got top 4 not once, but twice. Hopefully though, there’s one to two chances of still qualifying for Worlds this coming February, so I hope to learn from my mistakes and finally get an invite.

By the way, I also started a new TCG named Grand Archive. Enri kinda duped me into playng the game, and my FoW teammate Zhimon also got into it, so I am playing it now. I also got a good placement on the trial deck tournament which gave me a reason to play the game. I have to admit though, the game is quite expensive, and I spent a lot. Let’s see how it goes! Thankfully, the Australian TCG scene is quite active and there are small communities of Weiss Schwarz and Grand Archive in Canberra where I can at least play the card games I prefer. I do want to qualify for WS Worlds soon as I feel the game is kinda in decline and I want to be able to get to my goal before it fully declines.

5. Health wise, I definitely am not healthy. I believe a big part of this stems from my anxieties, which caused me not to do exercise and proper diet. I did try to do jogging and order a food subscription service to improve my diet, but I have not been consistent. It didn’t help that the farewell party in Dubai has now caused me to get frequent indigestion as it clashed with my diet. Then when I arrived in Australia, I was beset with a toothache that I cannot ignore that I decided to have a root canal. I was in shock with how expensive dental procedures in Australia are. I think the cost hurt me as bad as the toothache as well. I also had cubital tunnel syndrome, where I had issues moving my left ring and pinky finger. It’s better now, though I still fill a very slight numbness on my left hand. I aim that this coming year, I’ll be able to buy a bike to become active and get a cheaper food subscription service where I can order and cook healthier food.   6. My sister was finally able to get out of detention, but a lot of things happened. She can’t go back to work, and worse her fiancee died. Thankfully she was able to recover, and she’s taking care of my niece as much as she could. She hopes to be able to travel so she can work again soon. It’s quite hard since during this period I had to take my share of providing for both my mom and my dad, which doesn’t help with my anxiety. I hope things will be better for her soon enough.

7. Anime, Manga and Pop Culture stuff.

Anime and Manga wise, it’s kinda the same as last year. There were some good gems this year though, and there also some manga series that ended this year. I’m trying to clear some backlogs and I actually just finished an anime in the plane on route to Sydney.

As for sumo, I really don’t watch it as fervently as a few years ago, though I’m still updated with the tournaments every now and then. I think a big reason was that the JSA went overkill with punishing Miyagino Oyakata (Hakuho) for the Hokuseiho debacle, as I felt it reeks of politics. I believe that affected Hakuoho’s performance badly which left me disappointed. New young blood definitely have risen this year though, especially Onosato who is now an Ozeki. There’s also a good chance that this coming year Kotozakura (formerly Kotonowaka) will finally become Yokozuna. We shall see, but I already had a feeling he had a potential to become one. Kinda disappointed though that Kirishima fell down a lot.

8. Fulfilled (or not) Wishes a. Get the Australia Visa Grant – Highlight of the year. We got there. b. Improved Health – Not the best, with bouts of anxiety and insomnia. Not being active either. c. WS Worlds Invite – Still in process. There’s still a chance for 1 or 2 events. d. Better situation for my Sis – I believe for the most part these got settled. e. Some new goal to look forward to – I still am not able to find a new goal, I guess the goal now is to become stable in Australia and do the steps to become a PR and eventually a citizen.

New Wishes: 1. Better health – I wish to improve my activity and diet, as well as treat my anxiety and insomnia 2. WS Worlds Invite – I will still try, with two more events

3. Start camping – a big reason why I chose Canberra is that I can do outdoor activities. I hope I can do it this coming year. 4. Settle well in Australia – Hope to find close friends, as well as to get used to the Australian life

5. Travel to new places – I did some nice places this 2024, and I hope I can expand this 2025! I guess this is it from now. I just finished writing this inside a plane going to Sydney. I’ll post this once I’m settled in my Airbnb then walk off to see the fireworks! Hoping for a good 2025 for me!

The Advantages of VAT Registration UAE for Your Business

In the United Arab Emirates, Value Added Tax represents a major part of the country’s tax system. This is a type of tax that applies not only to the final product or service. But also to most supplies in GCC countries. The standard rate is 5%, and it applies to the majority of goods and services supplied in the UAE. From this perspective, it is important to consider VAT registration UAE. Along and its effect on businesses operating inside and outside the country.

One such company is Rank Accounting and Consultancy that has remained dominant in the accounting consultancy solutions in the UAE for years now. Multiple companies: helped with VAT registration paperwork.. During this, we observed the policies’ effect on their business. In this article, you will find information about the advantages of the VAT registration UAE procedure. Along with answers to major questions, and peculiarities of the registration process.

What is the threshold to register for UAE VAT?

In the UAE, there are two thresholds for VAT registration:

Mandatory Registration: Business having an annual taxable turnover greater than or equal to AED 375,000 which has been 12 months continuously prior to that period. Further, the business that fits into this bracket is required to surpass this amount within 30 days from the day. T

Voluntary Registration: The states of the UAE are given an option, that is businesses may or may not opt for voluntary registration. Those states where businesses have a minimum annual taxable turnover of AED 187,500 but do not the mandatory registration, will have

Benefits of VAT Registration UAE

Applying for VAT registration in the UAE could seem like yet another administrative task, but this move could benefit businesses in several ways Let us explore the top benefits

Input Tax Recovery: With VAT registered business, on each time a business makes a purchase on which VAT is paid, such as (rent of office, utility bills, and other office supplies) the business can recover a significant amount of the VAT it pays, thus reducing this component of the price of purchases made by the business. This allows the business to utilize the money saved for any other business expenses and thus enhance the cashflows.

Access to Golden Visa Scheme: VAT-registered organizations can apply for the Golden Visa for their employees. They will be provided with a long-term residence visa and their families were also open to bring along.

Simplified tax reporting: When you pay VAT with RR Accountants, a percentage of that tax is also set aside for your business tax reporting. If you file some VAT returns and enter in the routine VAT payment process, you can manage your complete tax reporting requirement as well.

Reduced risk of penalties: If you run a business without compulsory VAT registration in Dubai then you might even be imposed with heavy penalties by the FTA after a while. On leading of this, through VAT registration in the UAE, you can guarantee you stay within the law and then you can avoid any legal troubles and the associated fines with it.

Can I register for VAT if I have no sales?

However, you can go for VAT registration in UAE if you have no sales. You should consider it only if you believe that you will cross the AED 187500 threshold in the near future. In theory, you can register for VAT without actually selling anything, but it makes no sense. Such a proactive approach will not only save time. But also allows you to start using the VAT system when business picks up.

Do I Need to Register for VAT if I Provide Services Outside the UAE?

Am I Required to Register for VAT when My Services is Offered Outside the UAE? Whether VAT registration is mandatory or not, is decided by the type of services you offer along with the place where you are offering the services. For the Rest of The World If you were in providing services outside of the UAE there is no mandatory to register for VAT. But we would highly recommend you to talk to a specialized tax advisor for a more personal VAT advice.

Amending Old VAT Returns and Document Retention

Amending VAT Returns: FTA provides rules for amending the submitted VAT returns if any errors are found. Please note the method to correct returns will be based on the type of error done. 

Document retention – as a registered VAT business in the UAE, you are obliged by the UAE VAT Decree-Law to retain all tax records and documents e.g. invoices, receipts, and bank statements for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction. This way, you will always have all the required records should you be required to substantiate them with the FTA on an audit or in the event of a disagreement with the authority.

When Does the FTA Conduct Tax Audits?

Here you will guaranteedly find all the information you are interested in, thanks to which you will be able to confidently feel yourself in Bali as soon as you arrive here!

BEFORE THE TRIP

Visa

If you plan to stay on the island for a longer period, you should apply in advance for a social visa B211 for tourism purposes. The visa is issued electronically, so you don't have to go to the embassy. You can do it yourself (but then you won't be able to extend it) or with the help of a visa agency.

We recommend that you contact Legal Indonesia agency to obtain such a visa. This visa is issued for 60 days and can then be extended twice for 60 days each time. After its expiration, foreigners already in Indonesia are allowed to obtain new visas within the country.

Tickets

You can fly directly to Bali's Denpasar airport or through Jakarta. From Europe , you can fly with one layover to Bali via Doha with Qatar Airways, via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines, or via Dubai with Emirates.

From Jakarta to Denpasar, we recommend choosing Citilink or Garuda Indonesia airlines. Take flights from CGK airport (Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta). Allow at least three hours for a layover in Jakarta.

Documents

Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Indonesia. Otherwise, you will simply not be allowed to leave the country or enter Indonesia.

Make a photocopy of your passport and make it a habit to carry a copy with you while keeping the passport itself in a safe place.

A COVID-19 vaccination certificate is also required for entry.

Be sure to get good insurance! There is a reliable service from Cherehapa. Its employees are excellent at helping in disputed situations. There is also a local insurance company, Allianz. Carefully check how long your insurance allows you to stay in the country and read all the contract terms. We recommend choosing coverage of at least USD 50,000 with coverage for COVID-19. Print out the obtained insurance and keep it with you wherever you go, and enter the hotline number of your assistance service into your phone. Questions about insurance in Bali can be asked to Cherehapa consultants.

If you plan to ride a scooter or drive a car in Bali, get an international driver's license. Police raids are conducted on the roads to check for the presence of international licenses. Legal Indonesia agency can also help with obtaining local licenses.

Install the SATUSEHAT Mobile app on your phone to monitor your health and register your account in it.

Pets

If you plan to travel to Bali with your four-legged friend, it only makes sense if you are staying for a long time. There is a quarantine in Bali for importing and exporting pets. It is possible to bring a pet here, but it is difficult and expensive. You will need to seek the help of a pet relocation agency. You can find a list of verified agencies in the Bali.

Mobile phone service

Since September 2021, Indonesia has implemented control over imported phones. If your phone was not purchased in Indonesia and you plan to stay in the country for more than 90 days, you need to register it on the website of the Tax and Levies Agency. The phone will not work with local SIM cards if it is not registered. The QR code generated in the application will need to be shown upon arrival at Denpasar or Jakarta airport in the customs office. If the value of your phone is less than $500, you do not need to pay import tax. You can bring a maximum of 2 phones per person into Indonesia.

How do I register an IMEI? Phone Registration in Indonesia - Bali.liveYou can pre-purchase a tourist eSIM card online through the Airalo service . The prices there may be higher than those of local providers, but it allows you to have immediate connectivity upon abali.live

Money

Ensure that you have different accounts or cards, with the bulk of your money on one card and another card that you can use to transfer the necessary amount as needed at an ATM. Do not keep all of your money on the card you use to pay at the store or insert into an ATM.

Set the maximum withdrawal amount per transaction on your card in your online banking to prevent large sums of money from being withdrawn without your knowledge.

Take at least a couple of hundred dollars in cash, with the rest on a card for safekeeping.

When exchanging money in Bali, always double-check the amount given, even if the money changer counted the stack demonstratively ten times in front of you.

Check the current exchange rate between the rupiah and the dollar at the top of the forum header. You can find the rates for the Kuta Central exchange network on their website.

Bring dollars with you that are no older than 2013. Old bills may pose problems when exchanging money.

Health

Take a standard first-aid kit that you always bring on vacation to the beach.

Be sure to bring rare medicines that are vital for you if you suffer from a chronic illness.

Most commonly used medications are sold in Bali and although they may have different names.

Clothing

You can bring standard vacation clothing with you. Don't forget to bring thin long-sleeved sweatshirts in case you get sunburned and need to hide from the sun. If you are not picky about style, you can buy summer clothes in tents on the shopping streets of Kuta, Seminyak, and other popular areas. Be prepared to haggle and lower the price by 2-5 times.

If you are demanding in terms of material quality and style, you can stop by one of the popular shopping centers - Beachwalk, Discovery Mall, Bali Mall Galeria, and buy what you like. For expensive and stylish clothes shopping, you can go to boutiques in Seminyak.

Time-spending

You need to understand what kind of vacation you want to have. Do you want to relax on the beach, surf, party, travel, practice yoga, or do it all? Make a rough list of what you want to do during your time in Bali.

Plan your route. You can move from one area to another, spending a week in each.

Accommodation

Decide on the area of residence. The areas differ greatly in the quality of the beaches, proximity to nightlife, suitability for surfing, tranquility, prices, and availability of attractions. It makes sense to stay where you will be close to your main vacation goals. Alternatively, you can stay in different areas.

Find accommodation. There are two main options: villa and hotel/guesthouse. Villas are convenient for a large group, where the total price can be split among all friends to get a lower cost per bedroom. Hotels/guesthouses are more convenient for solo travelers, couples or families with children, where only one bedroom is needed, and for those who prefer a more caring hotel service and hotel infrastructure.

You can choose not to take accommodation for the entire trip and move to different areas during your stay - it will be more interesting.

If you want to rent accommodation for a long time, do not pay for it in advance without inspecting it and reading enough reviews about it. Try to come and see the accommodation in person, send friends to look at the house or villa, or look for more reviews on different services. You can also check the surroundings of your potential home through Google Street View.

Tips for renting houses in Bali. What to look for when renting a house? - Bali.liveThere are several tips for renting houses and villas in Bali that can help you choose accommodation that is comfortable in all respects. For people who came, for example, for the first time to wbali.live

Transportation

The size of the island is 150 by 80 kilometers. Some remote areas or attractions from the touristy south can take 1-2 hours to reach. You need to decide in advance how to get around:

by bike (scooter)/motorcycle

driving a car yourself

in a car with a guide

by taxi/motorcycle taxi.

Don't overestimate your abilities. If you are not confident in driving safely around the island, don't risk it. If you have no experience riding a bike, but you are confident in yourself, take a few driving lessons from a good instructor.

In recent years, online moto- and car-taxi services (Grab, Go-Jek) have become more and more popular in Bali, working with mobile applications Grab and GoJek. However, not all areas of Bali allow these taxis to be easily called. Sometimes local, more expensive, district taxi drivers do not allow Grab and Gojek into their zones. The reason is that district taxi drivers pay high commissions.

Grab online taxi now comes to the airport. There is a special Grab Taxi stand there.

If you don't want to drive, you can take a taxi for short trips and use the services of a guide with a car for excursions.

The best taxi in Bali - Bali.liveThe first thing you encounter when leaving the airport in Bali is local taxi drivers literally shouting at you that they will take you for the "best price." In any tourist spot on the island, tobali.live

Other

Download offline maps of Bali in advance. Open Google Maps, select "Offline maps" from the menu, select "Select your own map" and choose the map area. The Bali and Nusa Penida map will weigh about 85 megabytes but will be very useful if you suddenly find yourself without internet.

Open the list of important emergency phone numbers in Bali and the contacts of the tourist police in Bali and save potentially useful numbers from these lists in your phone.

UPON ARRIVAL

Airport

If you're staying for a while, don't forget to register your phone at the airport, as it will be much more difficult to do later.

Free Wi-Fi is available at the airport. You can connect immediately, which is very convenient if you need any information.

It is not allowed to take photos or videos in the immigration control hall. Violators will be fined heavily.

Make sure to check the date that is stamped in your passport upon arrival. The date of your arrival should be clearly indicated.

If you have been waiting for your luggage, but it has not arrived, go to your airline's office. It is possible that there was a mix-up, and they may ask you to file a lost luggage report. When they find it, they will deliver it to your hotel free of charge. Make it a habit to bring the essentials for the first 1-2 days in your carry-on luggage and not check in any expensive or irreplaceable items.

Upon arrival (or preferably before departure), you need to fill out an electronic customs declaration form. One document can be filled out for all family members.

Money

As you leave the airport, you will come across exchange offices along the way. They operate even late at night. It's better not to exchange all your money there, as the exchange rate at the airport is not very good. There are also many ATMs in the airport before and after passport control.

If you have Visa or MasterCard, you can use them to pay in stores and any other place where bank card payment is accepted. UnionPay cards are not accepted everywhere. Try to use your card as little as possible and only at serious establishments. Don't keep all your money on the card that you insert into an ATM and use for payments in stores and restaurants. Add money to it from other cards immediately before making a payment. There have been many cases of skimming in Bali.

Phone communication and internet

You can buy a local operator SIM card at the airport or in numerous shops along the road. Be prepared that at the airport, the SIM card will likely cost twice as much as in the tourist area and three times as much as in the operator's office.

Telkomsel has good quality communication, the widest coverage, and reasonably priced tariffs. Previously, it had complicated tariffs for new SIM cards, including local and general internet, which often wasn't recommended for short-term visitors to Indonesia, but now local internet has been canceled, so you can use it confidently.

Indosat Oooredooo provides cheap tariffs but not very good coverage.

XL Axiata is another good operator with reasonable prices and good coverage around the island.

Smartfren has not the fastest and most stable connection. But if your phone is disabled due to its registration being expired and other operators cannot register it, contact Smartfren.

Transport from the airport

If your hotel has offered you a free transfer, take advantage of it. The driver will meet you with a sign at the exit.

If your transfer is paid separately and you think it's too expensive, check MyBaliTrips to compare prices. This company may have a more affordable price. Transfer is convenient if you get tired after the flight, have a lot of luggage, or small children.

If you want to save money, use online taxis (Grab, Go-Jek).

ISLAND VACATION

Transport for getting around the island

To rent transportation, you can use the services of the company Balimotion.

If Balimotion doesn't have the type of transportation you need at the moment, you can contact another bike or car rental company by contacting their representative on Whatsapp.

When renting, take photos of all the damage on the transportation you are given, sign the rental agreement or receipt.

Before renting a bike, ask your rental if insurance is included in case the bike is damaged. Having insurance can save you money in the event of an accident. Don't hesitate to ask your rental in advance about what to do in case you get into an accident, who will pay for the repairs, and to what extent.

Most locals drive around the island not by the rules you learned in driving school, but by intuitive rules that they unconsciously learned from childhood while driving with their parents. While you're just starting to drive around the island, wear tight clothing, don't speed, watch the behavior and looks of other drivers because they "communicate" with looks. Be prepared for unpredictable behavior from other drivers. Don't be afraid to honk to warn other road users, it's not considered offensive. Honk at people standing on the left side of the road and planning to come out so they don't suddenly pull out in front of you.

In many places in Bali, there are paid parking lots. This is a standard system. The parking attendant usually helps you park your vehicle and take it out of the parking lot. The usual price for parking in the city for a bike is 2,000 rupiahs. At tourist attractions and beaches, the price can go up to 5,000 rupiahs for a bike. Paid parking is a completely normal phenomenon in Indonesia, and it's pointless to be outraged by its presence. 

Telephone and Internet

In the city, there are places where you can buy SIM cards registered under Balinese names. In this case, it cannot be guaranteed how long the card will work for you. However, due to recent changes, most places now offer registration in your name. To register, you will need your passport and your phone's IMEI number.

You can also buy a registered SIM card at central offices. If you buy a SIM card with registration in your name from points around the city, the normal price could be 120,000 rupiahs for a 6GB internet package, 150,000 rupiahs for a 9GB package, and 220,000 rupiahs for a 17GB package. After that, you can renew the internet package for a cheaper price.

You can buy a SIM card at any mobile phone shop in the city. They are usually located on central streets or in large shopping centers. The best 3G connectivity is provided by Telkomsel Simpati or XL cards.

To renew your internet package, you deposit a certain amount of money on your phone number at any minimart, open your phone provider's app on your smartphone, and activate the package you need. Be sure to connect the package! Without it, your internet will fly away at crazy speed!

Indonesian numbers are written in:

International standard (starting with +62 8, for example +62 81 777 777 777)

local mobile standard (starting with 08, for example 081 777 777 777) - to convert to international standard, change 08 to +62 83)

local landline standard (for example, +62 361 222 680, in this case, +62 is the code for Indonesia, 361 is the area code for Bali, and 222 680 is the phone number for the Bali Museum).

Spending Time

If you plan to visit places in Bali that require vaccination for entry (shopping centers, cinemas, some tourist attractions), the security at the entrance may ask you to show the Peduli Lindungi application. It contains information about your vaccination and COVID-19 testing. If you have been vaccinated but this information has not been uploaded to Peduli, then bring a paper vaccination certificate (in English or Indonesian) and a paper copy of the main page of your passport. In some cases, it may be sufficient to show photos of these documents on your phone.

If you don't know where to go in the evening to relax and have fun, you can join the Bali Forum chat and find friends with similar interests to hang out with at a restaurant or bar, regardless of whether there is a party that day.

Event posters with filters by theme and location can be found on the Bali.live website.

Install the Facebook Local app, where establishments announce their upcoming events.

You can check out a review of beaches to satisfy your beach cravings. All beaches in Bali have their unique charm.

In the first few days, while you are not used to the local sun, do not risk getting sunburned. Use sunscreen (with a protection factor of at least 50 SPF) and when taking long walks or riding a bike, wear a long-sleeved shirt and loose pants or a skirt.

If you get sunburned and don't have anything in your first aid kit for burned skin, buy Bepanten cream at the pharmacy. It is similar to the Russian Panthenol and helps to restore skin after burns and has a weak antiseptic effect.

Friends and socializing

People in Bali are open and friendly. This applies to both locals and foreign tourists. Even if you arrived alone, it's very easy to meet new people right in a café, restaurant, bar, or club and find new friends.

Food and drinks

If you want to try local street food, be prepared that food in local food stalls (warungs) is often very spicy. Food that is brightly colored red or yellow is potentially spicy. If you cannot eat spicy food, ask for non-spicy (no spicy / tidak pedas). Eat something fatty (milk, yogurt) or plain rice to offset the spiciness. Alcohol on Bali is expensive due to high taxes.

Be careful with cheap local drinks (arak and arak-based cocktails) and only buy them in reputable places. In clubs, keep an eye on your glass of alcohol and do not leave it unattended.

Prices on menus in restaurants are often indicated in thousands of rupiahs. That is, 20K is 20,000 rupiahs.

In Bali restaurants, except for local food stalls (warungs), a state tax and a service charge are added. Usually, they can add up to (10%, 15%, 21%). If the restaurant has this charge, its amount is indicated either at the bottom of the menu page or at the end of the menu. Tips are considered to be the service charge that should be given to waiters for their work. But if you want to give a tip to the waiter, you are free to do so and choose the amount of the reward at your discretion. There are no clear rules about the size of tips.

Safety

Do not drive while intoxicated, especially at night. There may be potholes, sand piles, or a lying dog on the road.

Keep an eye on your mobile phone in crowded places. Do not swing your phone uncontrollably and do not put it in the back pocket of your jeans. Do not put your phone in the pocket of your motorcycle when riding. Do not hold your phone while riding a motorcycle.

If you need to use navigation on the island from your smartphone, take headphones, turn on the voice mode in Google Maps, insert the headphones into one ear, and put the phone in the trunk. In 3-5% of cases, the voice navigator may lag, but most of the time it provides fairly reasonable navigation.

Install applications on your phone that will help you remotely lock your phone or track its location in case of theft. Set up backup data from your phone so that your data is not lost in case of theft. If your phone is stolen, there is a small chance of recovering it if you know its location, but the police do not always actively assist in such operations.

When riding a scooter in the dark, put your bag and all valuables in the trunk. Do not ride in the evening and at night with a bag over your shoulder, across your shoulder, or with a backpack. If robbers suddenly pull your bag or backpack, you will not only lose your things, but you may also fall off the bike.

When leaving your motorcycle in a parking lot, fasten the helmets to hooks located in the trunk, do not hang them on the handlebars. It's better to take full-face helmets with you when leaving, even if they are fastened to the motorcycle, they can be "cut off".

Please do not leave valuable items in the trunk of your car or bike if you leave your vehicle in a parking lot.

Do not take valuable items and large sums of money with you to the beach.

Always count your money last when exchanging currency, even if the person before you counted it in front of you multiple times. Do not let anyone touch your money again.

Do not withdraw money from ATMs located on the street. Withdraw money from ATMs located inside bank branches, preferably during the daytime when there is a security guard present. To find the nearest bank branch, open Google Maps and search for "Bank."

If you have a safe in your hotel room, keep valuable items such as laptops, passports, bank cards, and money in it. Do not leave large sums of cash in plain sight in your room.

If you are a woman, do not travel alone on deserted streets at night, especially if you are returning late at night from a club. Take a taxi or find a group of friends who can accompany you.

Do not walk alone on a deserted beach at night. If you are sitting on the beach with friends in the evening, keep your bags visible so that skillful "fishermen" cannot "fish" them with a fishing line and hook.

If you carry a bag with you, carry it in the hand that is farthest from the road so that robbers on bikes cannot snatch it from you.

In Bali, you may encounter reverse currents and powerful waves. Do not swim alone, do not overestimate your abilities, and read up on how to act if you get caught in a reverse current.

If you are in trouble and do not know what to do, write about your situation in the Bali Forum Telegram chat. There, you will receive helpful advice and support.

Health

If you need to find the nearest pharmacy, open Google Maps and enter Apotek or Pharmacy. The map will show you all the closest pharmacies.

In the chain stores Guardian or Watson, which often have a sign "pharmacy" on them, there may not always be a large selection of serious medications, and instead of real working drugs, they may offer you expensive vitamins or dietary supplements. Go to regular local pharmacies (Apotek) and ask for specific medications that you need.

If you have had an insurance case and you are sick, call your insurance company and ask which hospital they will send you to for treatment. Only after that, go to the hospital.

If you still came to Bali without insurance and you need medical treatment, contact one of the hospitals on this list. There are also quality dental clinics on Bali.

Also, for any medical questions, you can contact the BaliForum Health Telegram chat.

RETURNING HOME

Upon returning home at the airport, you will not have to pay any taxes or duties.

If you have miscalculated the number of days on your visa and have an overstay, you can pay for it at the airport. One day of overstay costs 1 million rupiah. If your overstay does not exceed 60 days, you simply pay for it and go on your flight. There will be no sanctions.

For an overstay of more than 60 days, you will need to undergo a special document procedure with the immigration service and pay a fine. If you have a large overstay, contact a visa agent and they will advise you on what to do.

Luggage packing at Bali airport costs 105,000 rupiah per unit.

Be sure to share this post with your friends - it's super useful for anyone planning to go to Bali! Have a nice trip! ;)
