Things to be aware of for "Visa on arrival"

If you want to charge the fee (25 USD) on a credit card (as I did) - be aware of:

1. Although the fee is in USD, the card is charged on local Rupiah on a bad rate. It turned up as a charge of about 26.50 USD.

2. The terminal they use is of a local bank and not of a business, making the transaction a bank transaction (like an ATM transaction). My credit card company charged a $5 "cash advance fee" for this kind of transaction.

Bottom line, better have 25 USD cash when arriving into Bali.
