Yay! Which agent did you use?

I'm debating getting the multi-visit visa, since it's cheaper than visa on arrival if I go 4x or more in a year. I think it needs a guarantor tho? Can't find much info if it'll be available as one of the options for visa on arrival - social/tourism is listed as one of the valid uses.

Long weekend trips to Bali (for both diving and yoga in Ubud) is looking tempting now that day 3 test is gone. Figure not having to wait in visa on arrival line is a plus also even if it works out more expensive with the agent fee.

We were referred to Seven Stones Indonesia for it. I will wait and see what happens with visas in the next few months before I figure how to proceed. I go 2X a year for a long time and it may be worth doing multi visits. Thanks for the idea!

If you can fly into Bali directly there is no need to apply any visa for US citizen.
VOA is only US$35.00 since 07 Mar 2022.
You can leave from other places.

That is definitely an option and a good one.

When I originally made the arrangements, there was a requirement to stay 3 days in a CHSE hotel upon arrival in Bali. I’m not sure what it is now but it wasn’t something I was interested in doing, especially since I wasn’t going to Bali for this trip. I wanted to dive Bangka and return to Lembeh before going to Raja Ampat again so the ability to land and dive straight away at the resort I was going to go to anyway which happened to be a bubble quarantine facility was perfect. (Murex Bangka.) Had I flown to Bali, I’d have to then fly back to Manado after that. It didn’t make sense for me. Now, quarantine is gone but it does not change my plans. I’m staying over 30 days and I don’t want to have to deal
with the hassle of extending a VOA while I’m on a trip and out diving somewhere. The B211A gets me in for 60 days to start which works better for my trip plans. More flexibility and no time with immigration offices after.

Admittedly, if B211A 60 day weren’t an option and the only way was through Bali and staying a few extra days, I would have done it in order to get in. :)

I plan on going in August / September so hope things are quite relaxed by then. Good thing is direct flight from Taiwan to Bali is only 5 hours. About the same as to Thailand.
