Being a foreigner, having a job to get into the base (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balinese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being a foreigner having a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'job to get into the base' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'line' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to get into' is an insertion indicator.
'line' put within 'base' is 'BALINESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for balinese that I've seen before include "Islanders" , "Foreign language" , "Asian language" , "policy needs external support" , "Indonesian" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
