My family and I just returned from a trip from Australia to the Philippines via DPS (Bali). We changed planes from Jetstar to Cebu Pacific (same day). However we were told that we had to get a Visa on Arrival, collect bags and check in again. While this is not in itself unusual when changing from one LCC to another LCC, what was unusual were the fees as noted below:
3 AUS Passport holders VOA x $47 = $141
3 DPS Airport Tax x $20 = $60
Return trip = grand total of $402 AUD
No Transit Visa exists or even the old 7 day visa exists. We incurred this as we had to change airlines and other airline check in was not open yet. There is a sign that direct Transit Passengers but when we asked we were directed to the VOA desk. When we asked there, they insisted no such transit facilities exist. Is this true?
We just paid the fees as we were tired both ways.
