I suppose she could be a chocolate point Ragdoll. Did the person or place you adopted her from know her background? If so and they said Balinese, I would probably go with that.
She is beautiful ❤

Balinese is basically a longhair Siamese. Their fur is semi-long and very silky. I’d say your kitty has the wrong body type and too dense/long fur to be a Balinese.

Beautiful girl! I think she is probably just a seal point domestic long hair. Colorpoints are very common in dsh/dlh and though they all have some siamese in them sometimes its very far removed because the colorpoint is common in other breeds and it was bred out.

She looks more ragdoll than balinese to me, he fur is pretty thick/ dense and balinese are not quite so much. I will do a collage later. Without papers she is labeled a dlh sealpoint. She is gorgeous whatever she is 😻
but… I just found this link on Balinese kitties and the first kitty pictured is similar most other balinese I have seen were not so dense… but I guess they were more like the so called “modern balinese pictured below, at least in fur density. It also say here the Balinese may also have been bred with Turkish Angora to produce the lh.
