FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the first steps happen before I even arrive in Bali?
Yes — message us before you land and we can start the eligibility check and document checklist immediately.
What's the single biggest cause of delay in this process?
Incomplete documents, especially passports without enough blank pages or with less than 6 months' validity — we catch this early, before it becomes a delay.
Do I need to do anything after my passport is collected?
Just note your new expiry date — we can remind you again when it's time to plan your next step.
