Brining a dog from the U.S. to Riyadh by MaestraCourtney

Hello Dog Lovers, I have read the requirements on the Saudi Embassy's sight for bringing a dog from the U.S. It appears they need to be for hunting, protection or a seeing eye dog. Seems like a lot of red tape too. Has anyone successfully ...

Kowgirl_Kam

Hi @MaestraCourtneyIt's been a few years since you've posted your dog query, what did you end up finding or doing when you went to Riyadh? I have two German Shepherds I would love to bring with me, but they are used to life on a farm, so I'm not ... Read More

Tourist visa by rickyj66

Hi, I’ve been told that di CW the pandemic, Bali is not issuing tourist visas And that I can only apply gor a business visa which cost 8,000,000 IDR. Is this correct?

Kowgirl_Kam

The part that tourist visas are not being issued is true. There are a ton of "agents" charging about $1,000 per person to obtain a business visa for them because it requires proof of funds, ie. $10,000 in the bank, which they will do for ... Read More

@Marcello Could you provide that documentation on proof of funds? I received the information from an "agent" via social media, so I can't even be sure how factual that is. The Consulate has no information on the required funds, either. Read More

Salaam Yasmine, I have been researching the same. I foolishly thought visa on arrival still existed and planned on visiting next month, until I heard Indonesia is only accepting Visa B211A, which is a tourist/business visa depending on your ... Read More

Visa Agent Recommendations? by Kowgirl_Kam

Hey Guys! I am currently in the US and am looking for property in Lombok. I reached out to a RealEstate agent, who works for Ray White and she recommended her Visa Agent, who works at PT. Era Baru Sejahtera. Alarms went off when the agent emailed ...

Kowgirl_Kam

The agent is located in Jakarta. You're lucky you've got someone on the inside who knows the deal. I am thinking of uploading all required documents to OneDrive and password protect or encrypt it. It may seem a bit over- the- top but ... Read More

Coronavirus news Indonesia by Fred

I suspect a few expats might well be concerned at the possibility of coronavirus spreading in Indonesia, but the chances of a major problem are pretty slim. A number of Indonesian expats are stuck over there at the moment, and the suspected local ...

With a 50% chance of vaccine damage, an immunity blanket covering only manufacturers and extremely loose quality assurance guidelines, I stay away from all vaccines now. I have four kids and two with vaccine injuries, so I pass. I make my own ... Read More
