Halo Nick,
it’s my first time to write in your blog. I hope that’ll happend soon… I know exactly what is soon…. means in Indonesia as I am my self is an Indonesian, married to a German. I’m stuck in winter here, keep waiting for Indonesian government to finish their part so I can sponsor my husband to live in Indonesia (Bali may be???). The Law is done since June/July last year but the regulation… till now no body knows how can an Indonesian wife be a sponsor for the husband without making any PT /CV.
Greetings,
Christine

The visa requirements keep tourists from going to Indonesia. Not only the expense, but the queue and the time spent in hot, lousy airport conditions. You wait for hours, especially in Bali, after your long travel from Europe or other continents. Indonesia looses tourists to more modern and clever countries in the Far East. This, of course, also goes for the Exit Fee, 100.000 Rps., which is designed to keep tourists from coming back to Indonesia.

Everybody moans about the VOA.

Maybe you like to have to travel to another city in your country to seek out the Indo embassy to get your visa instead of just turning up here and getting an instant Visa.

Surely bad design

As for the Exit fee hmmm… Is Indonesia the only country with an exit airport tax of 10 measly US dollars.. Not

Duuhhh

Hi Visas in Indonesia are a headache .Yesterday I spent 3 hours at Tuban Immigration .I am married to a Balinese and we have 2 sons studying at A.I.S.The social visa Indo consulate in Sydney gave us ,we were told could be used for 1 year study just extended.Now they will only extend 1 month at a time then we have to go out ,so even married to a local does not make the visa easier .We can extend up to 6 months and then out and return .If anyone knows an easier way please let me know .Me I understand but my husband is our sponsor and they are his sons
Thanks Kim

Hello Nick,

I hope this VOA will go trough soon before June 2007. My kids are coming with me to Bali and continue on to Sumba Isl. this coming May. We will be in Indonesia for 42 days. I am hoping this VOA will fall trough before our coming back to Seattle. I will be following this news and your posting here for any changes. Another question to you Nick is, do I have to pay overstayed visa for children just incase this is new visa law not yet in progress?

Hi
can anyone tell me if my children need to pay for a visa when travelling to bali, last time we paid the $10 us dollars for 4 nights but this time we are taking our kids and i dont know if they have to pay as well.

USUAL PACK OF BAHONG LIARS, NOW IS THE 14TH SEPTEMBER, THIS 120 DAY VOA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPLEMENTED 1ST JULY 2007, NO SIGN OF IT, WHY? IMIGRASSI CORUPT WILL LOOSE OUT ! NEVER TRUST THE GOVERNMENT OF INDONESIA!!!

Vaness,
Yep you have to pay for kids! Our baby is 7wks & he has to pay!!!

Hi
I have a ticket to enter Indonesia and leave 84 days later. I know my max stay is only 60 days so i intend to travel to Singapore for a week and then return for a ‘visa on arrival’ for the remainder of my stay. I hope this is ok but does anyone know how long i have to leave the country before returning (ie stay length in singapore) ?
