12 hour stop in Indonesia - Visa required?
Hi guys,
We are travelling to Australia via Jakarta Indonesia in August with Garuda Indonesia airlines. The hold time in Jakarta is 11 hours 50 minutes.
I spoke to the Garuda call centre in the UK (I have a British passport) and they said if the hold time is more than 8 hours then you are required to purchase a transit visa for $35 US dollars.
Has anybody had this experience?
Can you not simply wait in the airport rather than go through arrivals and have to purchase this visa?
Thanks for for taking the time to read and hope you can help!
Best wishes
