Just go ahead...perfectly possible...I too went after the end of a 39 yr marriage, by myself, never been to Bali before...I stayed for two years and came back to care for elderly parents. Same visa as bakso mentioned. I did not go to Malaysia but to Singapore once and to Australia. As an internal agent in Bali I used Tari from Bali Mode, Phone +62 361 765162, Jl Sriwijaya No 7, Legian and have done ever since.If you do not have a sponsor, she can arrange.
Now, For the last two years, I have been lucky enough to spend four months here, four months there. Wish I was still living there but knew I had to come back.Still havent enjoyed many of the touristy things, but lived with locals. My experience was one wild ride because of where I lived, and I travelled to other islands and to Java with my friends. As I said,, just DO IT
