Websites to help Expats and visitors to Bali
One very good web site for us non-Indonesians is http://www.expat.or.id/info/bali.html
. Find out everything from help on buying a car here;
relocation to Bali info; ex-pat clubs; Visa info; doing business
here; housing; and a great Forum, where you can post
questions! And of course www.BaliAdvertiser.biz has
what you need for daily life here in Bali.
Forums where you can read and post personal messages.
These sites answer YOUR particular questions:
