Below is the response I got:



Though they suggest things are running more smoothly, it sounds like the same process is in place, and the suggested "2 minutes per person", as discussed here, can aggregate to several hours with multiple planes landing at the same time.

We're flying in on TG in J from BKK, so we'll probably just plan to try to hustle off the plane and be as front-of-the-line as we can, and, since we live in DC, may bother to stop by the Embassy to get our visa in advance if it sounds like that may save a few minutes.

But, I'd still love to hear anyone else's experience in the meantime, because if the wait is several hours, and Bali Concierge can significantly expedite that (which doesn't sound like the case thus far), it would be money well spent.
If you do happen to get that Visa before you depart from DC please let us know how that works. We are in NYC and thinking of doing the same thing from the Indonesian consulate here. Thanks.
