Hi Thanh! For families I would recommend staying in Sanur or Ubud. From either of these bases you can visit the whole island by car, although Ubud is closer to more sights and activities, while Sanur is more relaxed and has a beach. Booking hotels in multiple areas isn’t required, although it’ll give you a better taste of the different areas.

In either Sanur or Ubud, you can walk to restaurants, mini marts, and most other daily needs. For sightseeing, I would recommend hiring a private driver with a car. They will take you around for a full day to all the places you want to see in Bali.

Hi Sylvia, in that case you can answer “No” for the question “Have you ever visited India before?” because they’re asking if you’ve visited India on a visa before, and you haven’t. You were a citizen and resident, not a visitor. They should be able to understand this since you will list your country of birth as India on page 2 of the application, and also when they ask “Did You Acquire Nationality By Birth Or By Naturalization?” you can put Naturalization.

Nice! Have a great trip.

Indeed, thanks!

Great! Thanks for the update.

Hi. That would be a monitor lizard, which looks kind of similar to a Komodo dragon, but a bit smaller. They are fairly common in Bali and always fun to see. 🙂
