Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

It’s worked ok until now. I suspect their eGates departing CGK have had a snafu on our last departure…
Seems to have been fixed for me and I have a new eVOA - flying tomorrow!

I tried calling the Consulate here in Sydney yesterday and couldn’t even get through and I suspect driving down to Maroubra (not far away) would have been a waste of time.

So I emailed the Indonesia immigration [email protected] with a screen shot and details of my last outbound flight and that may have worked…🤷‍♂️.

I tried that email too. Nada.

I can see that they’ve cancelled the last “Stay permit”, so that seems to have unblocked it.

SYD+1 also emailed but still locked. Weirdly, the system is showing a stay permit active from before the last transit! ie left and have past through Indonesia subsequently…

It’s still a sh$t system.

Although, being able to use eGates in and out is handy….

SYD+1 emailed again this morning and the old stay permit was closed around noon. So someone must actually be processing the requests!

So we now both have eVOAs for tomorrow’s arrival…
 
Oi DFAT, get with Kemlu and remind them we’re supposed to have free VOA or visa waivers for Aus citizens travelling to Indonesia by now… 😑
Preferably before I fly home via CGK in a few weeks!
