Indonesian visa change
Flying to Bali on TG
Indonesia has changed it's visas. The 7 days has been scrapped so no more $10 quick trips.
Now it's 30 days for $25, and it is renewable without leaving the Country.

I just returned from Jakarta on Tuesday 26Jan2010 and I was given a 7 days Visa. It is very possible that this requirement only applies to Bali.
Suspect the tourist dollars are the target there.

Hmm, I hope it is not so - there's a wedding I'll be going to for just about 3-4 days, making the visa a bigger expense than expected. Would be nice to go back to the days of a no-cost visa-on-arrival, but then who am I kidding?

A few friends of mine in Singapore who go to Batam and Bintan for a day or so a few times a year are not impressed.
