Bali Expat Visas
Getting ready for my visa run to Singapore
Tomorrow morning I’ll be out of the house before first light and off to the airport for a visa run to Singapore. This trip will be via Batam, so will be a bit longer and I hope to document the process.

Pass the passport in Seminyak Bali
Just sitting here in a wi-fi place in Seminyak, I observed an interesting scene. Some skanky long hair Italian type, you know, the kind you’d like to run over with your truck, came in and ordered a Coke. Five minutes later, in comes an even shabbier looking local. What do these 2 monkeys have in common?

Campur kids gets dual nationality in Indonesia
Children of mixed parentage have been given dual nationality in Jakarta today. Indonesia’s citizenship laws are based on jus sanguinus, the idea that blood is thicker than water, as opposed to jus soli (as is used in the US) where your place of birth is used to determine nationality. The fact that so many wealthy foreign businessmen and their Indonesian wives, have complained to the government, about the futility of treating kids of an Indonesian mother, and a foreign father, as a foreigner, has finally borne fruit.

Bali Expat Forum: Information from people who live in Bali
Living on Bali is a dream for many people, but what is it really like for a foreigner? As Bruce Lee would say ‘if you want to learn how to throw punches, ask a man who does it for a living’ (a boxer).

Land & Visas in Seminyak Bali
(This is the second time I wrote this post, my machine crapped out!)
Land and visas are 2 of the biggest worries for expats in Bali. Tonight I had dinner with some friends, who told me that foreigners can own land freehold, and people married to a local, will be able to get a Resident visa soon.

One of the coolest guys on the Indo internet is IndCoup in Jakarta. This guy speaks his mind, which is easy because he’s not trying to sell anything.

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.
