Heading to Bali - get Visa ahead of time, or at DPS?
Hi,
Two of us (both US citizens) are heading to Bali in 2 months. Looking at the Visa requirements, we could apply now by sending an application (and $35, passport pics, etc) to their NY embassy, or get one upon arrival in DPS for $25 (though potentially wait in line).
If you've recently gone to Bali/Indonesia, what have you done? If you got your Visa on arrival, did you have to wait long? We called the embassy, and they recommended applying ahead of time, but frankly, I don't see the point, especially when it ends up costing an additional $40 or so ($10 more per Visa, plus passport photos, plus FedEx both ways). Thanks for your input!
