Online application for e_VOA for Bali

So, what's the verdict? Are you better off going with the e-visa or the EVOA? I have an ABTC but a) its not valid for Tourist travel in Bali, and b) I'll be travelling with Mrs G...

And any idea how this new Tourist $grab will work? Its to be done online after arrival on an honesty basis? Who polices it?

Putting your other half aside, is anyone going to know you're not actually going to be conducting business on your visit? Would anyone care?

And aren't there mooted changes coming around 15 February whereby Australian passport holders may not need a visa at all?

I just bought this IDR154,500 tourist levy. You can only put through 1 person per transaction and I got an email with a downloadable voucher. Families will have a lot of fun having to present a tourist levy form and an eVisa form for each person at the immigration counter.

The language used throughout the process made it sound like it's not mandatory - "We truly appreciate your sincere participation and care for Bali."

I'm not seeing any new updates online regarding the USD35 visa fee being removed. My family is only going for a short visit and having to pay $70 each just to enter is certainly turning me off future visits.

And now there's the extra tourist tax to be paid. $15 pp. milking it now.
