he will take my passport while I stay on Bali with the kids yes.
I would have your wife stay in Indonesia. Your spouse is a dependent to your visa. If they need extra info they will need you not her. But I would stay in the same country so if there needs to be a domestic flight taken maybe something could be arranged but again they should not need her.
hubby is going on Monday supposedly. He is struggling a bit with the muay thai schools on Koh Lanta to get his letter. Will update hopefully next Thursday ๐๐ผ
