Hi there. I'm bringing my own photographer from Malaysia to Bali for prewedding photoshoot. Without working permit in Indonesia, are we going to face any trouble? We have already paid most of the expenses.

No worries if there r no money transaction happening there.

Good Luck.. Some small tips.. camera gear split into everyone bag or hand carry... dun bring big strobe light.. my experience in Bali was... cinematographer's gear kena hold by custom n paid some money to get back before flight back to Malaysia...

Shooting time.. try look around.. ensure no any police/goverment officer.. den should be fine... Dun be next Dato Christer Leong..hahaha

I have been doing destination pre weddings and I had no problem bringing my octabox around bali. As long as there are no transaction going on at the place, nothing is gonna happen.

Glad to know that. Appreciate your reply. 😁

I don't want to get featured on newspapers too.

Great! This definitely easy my worries. Thank you. 😁

Another question from me, do we have to join the long queue in well known places in Bali for prewedding photoshoot? Since we are paying extra for prewedding photoshoot in respective places.

Me too.. I only can said .. Maybe that time.. my crew was unlucky...
but.. once kena.. haha...
Btw... Indonesia... Money can settle everything.. dey just want con our money only...

How much did you pay?

Not I pay.. My cinematographer kena... forget how much.... Roughly thousand ringgit if not mistaken.. But in d end claim back client..
I just remember.. that got rate chart... u kena.. den ask u declare how much of d gear.. den base on d value.. count in certain percentage...
Bt a lesson learnt is.. u can declare as least as possible.. becoz.. I realised.. dey dun really know the gears value
