In Reply to: questions for sponsors of balinese to oz posted by missbali on Thursday, 14. February 2008 at 19:46 Bali Time:
we sponsored 2 guys to come to perth for 2 weeks during december. We
had to send copies of our bank acccounts, passports and drivers licence, along with a sponsor letter saying they were staying with us and we were paying all expenses during there stay. They had to set up bank accounts which we put $1,000aus each in.They got doctors certificates, letter from employers stating they had job to come back to, police clearance they apply for visa which cost around 600,000rp (from memory) then get passports (cost around 800,000rp). Once that all done we sent them another $700 aus each as they have to pay 150,000rp departure tax and 1mil rp viscal tax when they leave bali. Also because they were staying for 2 weeks they had to have on them $500 aus each to show at perth airport in case they got questioned by customs etc (which they did border security) to show they could support themselves if need be.There was no taxes to pay when they left here. Hope this helps good luck we had such a ball with these guys showing them around getting limos to the airport, living our way of life for awhile, in fact they are waiting for there next holiday Need a lotto win!!
