VISA
Visitors from most Western countries will be automatically given a 60 days visa on arrival. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Other nationalities should contact the Indonesian Embassy on 020 7499 7661 or visit www.indonesianembassy.org.uk

CURRENCY
Indonesian Rupiah
Most major foreign currencies, either bank notes or travelers cheques, are easily changeable. Money changers usually offer a better rate of exchange than banks or hotels. Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels and restaurants.

LANGUAGE
Although there are over 350 languages and dialects in the archipelago, Indonesia's official language is Bahasa Indonesia. English is widely understood in tourist areas.

TRANSPORTATION
Taxis can be found in or just outside your hotels - you should always negotiate a fare before getting into the taxi. The local public buses are called bemos - there are no designated bus stops however and you simply wave a bemo down on the street.

WHEN TO GO
The climate is tropical with hot humid days and warm evenings year round. The cooler dry season from April to October is the best time to visit Bali. The rest of the year is more humid, cloudier and is prone to more short, tropical downpours, but you can still enjoy a holiday.

HEALTH
Recommended vaccinations are typhoid, hepatitis, tetanus and polio. Please contact your GP for further information. Drinking bottled water is advisable.
