Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

[Pushka]

Passing thru CGK next in Dec & Jan. Fingers crossed the fee has finally gone by then!

I’m trying to recall if we still have to do the eVOA but it becomes free or just use eGates on arrival?

I'd expect an application for eVisa needed but no charge.

Why? Oh, why….?

Only school hols….gees.

Apparently they had issues where it wouldn’t go through to payment page so they gave up in frustration and thought they would just do it on arrival. She did say that several others in the queue had experienced the same issue

Ah, I had that the last two times. The “Pay” button was lurking out of sight on the iPad screen.

The first time I was scratching my head looking for the payment option but was able to follow a bouncy ball back to the “Pending” application and enter payment details. The last time, I just scrolled down…

Wasn't visa-free entry for Australians mooted to start this month?

November?

For “free” visa entry. I believe you’ll still need to do some sort of online eVOA to use the SmartGates?

I will also be going through CGK in Dec and then retuning in Jan. (to take advantage of cheaper fares from SE Asia)
Also hoping that the visa requirements will have been dropped by then.
