How we write. Each guide is based on official Indonesian sources: laws and regulations, immigration offices, Bank Indonesia, BMKG and others. Every guide shows its source, the date we last checked it and the date of the next check. We retell in our own words and do not copy other people's texts.
Who makes the site. The BUZZ team, working in Bali since 2023. The team also runs the visa agency BUZZ VISA and the currency exchange BUZZ EXCHANGE (@buzz_ex). Where a guide is about visas or money, we add a short line on how to reach them.
Ads and partners. There is no paid advertising on the site. On Places and services there are free cards of partners: they display our postcards and roll-up banners, and we tell readers about them. Each such card is marked as a partner. There are no partners in the guides.
We are not a government body. Decisions on visas, entry and fines are made by immigration and the Indonesian authorities. Before you act on a guide, check the official source linked at the end of it.
Most of the site is in Russian. News, routes and many more guides are on the [Russian version](/). This English section has the guides foreign visitors ask about most, and it will grow.
