In Bali Diving and when I am not diving in Bali it seems like the conversation always goes towards really Cheap flights Bali to Singapore and Indonesia Visas. Anyone familiar with Bali knows that these two subjects really are one as you need to get cheap flights to Singapore to renew your visas as you cannot do inside Indonesia. Each type of Indonesian visa is different on the number of times that you can renew, but most of them require that you leave at least every 6 months and go somewhere to get a new visa. The Indonesian government also as I understand it change the rules pretty often so it makes for some confusion. For most people Singapore is the place to do a visa run to as it is the closest and the cheapest place that you can get to. In theory you can get the visa overnight once you get to Singapore if you use a agent.

I still cannot get over how much Bali reminds me of Hawaii especially on the ride up to Tulamben where you have the mountains in the distance almost can imagine it is the east side of Oahu. The one thing that is very different is the terraced rice fields they really are some thing to behold.
