VISA from BKK to Indonesia

I am flying from Bangkok to Bali. I will be staying in Bali and would like to get a 60 day VISA from Bangkok for Indonesia. I don't want to spend much time in Bangkok so I am just curious how many days it will take to recieve my VISA.

Oh! and I am have a USA passport, I don't know if that changes how long or the availability of receiving the VISA.

My friend with a US passport was able to get hers done in 2 days only! She said she applied on day 1 and it was ready to pick up on day 2.
The OP clearly stated dont want to spend much time in Bangkok, betweeN 3-5 days (like 4 days) would clearly make a difference wouldnt it in comparison to a definite 2 days that my friend with a US passport had hers? We are discussing US passport aren't we?

Much the same for all nationalities. Just go one in Australia and 6 days so I would look to longer than shorter.

Just go(t?) one in Australia. Is that for an Indonesian visa? Much the same for all nationalities, including some obscure country? and 6 days so would look to longer than shorter. Now better to rely on 6 days or longer, not like 4 days you mention earlier? Quite a number of posters here have commented Indonesian offices in Australia have stricter rules before issuing the 60day visa compared to Indonesian offices in Singapore (same day is common) or KL or Bangkok. Some other posters may have better information?

No going to argue with you. I just do it. Americans are mainstream and so am I.

5 days for tourist visa to Thailand, you can stay max 60 days unless extending for a month more or you can do VOA at the airport, doesn't take long if you have US visa. I think it would take the same length of time to do tourist visa to go to Indonesia, you just need to prepare documents properly then all will be ok.

Now we have it, 5-6 days for US passport holders applying a 60day Indonesian visa in Bangkok as testified by two posters here. Do correct me if I 'm mistaken.

Is this longer time only for Americans? I'm an EU citizen. I'm also looking for the quickest possible solution. in Kuala Lumpur, submit in the morning, pick up the next afternoon, if it's indeed 5-6 days, I don't want to sit around in BKK. have been trying to call the embassy, no luck. HELP!

update on March 11, 2013

applications can be submitted 9-12 every morning
pick up 2 days later 14-15 afternoon
(submit Monday morning, pick up Wednesday afternoon, careful with Thai and Indo holidays, like tomorrow March 12 is Nyepi so I can only pick it up on Thursday afternoon)

no express fees and priority processing available, I heard a desperate person try.

applies to ALL NATIONALITIES , no messing around with Americans. fees and processing times are clearly posted on the wall.

needed: 2 photos (it says red background on the application form but any colour is accepted)
printout of ticket in and out of Indonesia - contrary to Kuala Lumpur, they do ask for this here unfortunately
photocopy of passport data page
photocopy of Thai entry stamp and departure card
1380 baht for a 60-day tourist visa

very painless, no queue, no need to go there well in advance, in and out in 10 mins
no photocopying facility available right there, and I haven't seen any on the way from the skytrain
walking distance from Ratchathewi skytrain station (about 6-7 mins)

good luck to anyone, hope that people doing a google search about this in the near future will be very happy with the info :-)

Thanks for the info firelily.
So it doesnt matter if one's passport is mainstream, non-mainstream or some obscure country.

I assume BKK here means Bangkok city and not just Suvanarbhumi airport?

sorry about the confusion, BKK is standard abbreviation for Bangkok I think :-) many expats and tourists seem to be referring to the city this way.
