I want to travel to DPS on Feb 3 around 1500 and was going to book a one stop itin with Singapore (CGK-SIN-DPS) to enjoy SQ hospitality and earn points in *A. But I think I will need to get two eVOAs, one to use at CGK and the other to use at DPS. Will Indonesian immigration question me on this crazy itin? Immigration and customs waiting time at DPS seems to be length as well.
Am I crazy for doing this? Should I just get a simple itin with Garuda and avoid the need for a second VOA and potential lines at DPS immigration?
Thanks,
The itinerary doesn't compute as sensible on any level, unless SQ is offering exceedingly attractive fares. If you proceed with your plan, the blessing is that the Indonesian authorities won't give a tinker's: though I'd suggest you might take advantage of a day or so in Singapore rather than spending a coupe of hours in the airport.
Surely it would make more sense to structure an itinerary which flies you into Singapore as the regional gateway before continuing to Bali.
