Helpful hints
If you are bringing U.S. dollars with you, It is best you bring 100 dollar notes, new, clean bills with the big head. You will not be able to exchange old, dirty or marked money with the banks and money changers. If bringing 100 dollar bills, avoid series 1999 or below, you will have a problem using these bills as there are many counterfeit 100's from this series year. You might also find the same problem with all 50 dollar notes as well. Travels checks, Visa & Master card and ATM's are no problem.
Important update
As of July 2014, there is a US$35 Visa fee to entry Indonesia. It is best to pick up your visa at the Indonesia Consultant or Embassy nearest you beforehand as is will save you time when arriving in Bali. If you can not do this you can get your visa on arrival here in Bali. But please try to bring the $35 in US dollars as this will save you time once you arrive here in Bali.
