If you leave for East Timor you should get a 30 day VOA, extendable one time on return - so it would not make much difference if your 35 day trip estimate is remotely accurate.

Same idea I have Mr. Paul. OP can request extend one time if needed before he goes to Timor Leste. Do not have to extend in Denpasar, regional offices will do it too. Then when OP comes back to Indonesia, he can get another VOA and extend one more time if needed. Unless need to stay more than 60 days at a time in Indonesia, easier to do VOA no?

My total total trip is 35 days so I am not interested in anything more than 30 days in Indo. Of course I won't be staying 31 days in Indo and 4 in East Timor then. :-) So no need to extend any 30 day VOA.

LungPaul: I might be stupid but I dont get your post. If I get a 30 day VOA and then on my 15th day enter East Timor, stay 10 days in East Timor and on the 26th day return back into Indonesia, my first 30 day VOA for Indonesia is quite useless right? Then I will just get another VOA again in Indoneisa. I plan to enter/leave East Timor by overland.

Sorry - I put that badly in #15. (There should be a comma before the words 'on return'.) You get a new extendable visa on return not an extension.
A visa terminates when you leave the country and you have to get a new one. A VOA can be extended once so even if you, hypothetically, decided not to go to East Timor you could just extend. (You raised this possibility in #10.) The only advantage of getting a 60 day visa (if you go to East Timor as planned) would be to avoid problems getting on the plane.

Hope I have made it a bit cleared.

Welcome to Asia.

If you are going to enter East Timor overland, then you will need to apply beforehand.

Thanks Gary. I will go overland. When I go overland to Indonesia again is that straight forward or do I have to apply beforehand for Indonesia too? Or will I be able to get VOA on my way back to Kupang?

Welcome to Asia.

You cannot get a VOA by crossing the border overland back into Indonesia. You can get a VOA. if you fly from Dili back to Bali.

You can get a 30 Day Visa from the Indonesian Embassy in Dili, which will allow you to cross the border overland back into Indonesia.

Before Thorntree was closed down last Christmas, there were several threads on how to get a 30 Day Visa from the Indonesian Embassy in Dili. You could do a seach on Thorntree, to see if these threads still remain.

Re the 30 day Indonesian visa in Dili - you need the following

1. photo on red background
2. Letter to the Embassy explaining why you wish to visit Indonesia
3. $45
4. Completed application form - best to get down early as there is possibly a limit of how many visas are issued daily (heard a rumour it was 50)
5. Black pen to fill in form.

Takes three days to process.

Gary and Avalon: Thanks a lot. I think I have all the information I need know to make good descisions for my itinerary!
As a note. I will probably fly back to Bali from Dili as i dont like to backtrack, seems so much easier.

It will be so nice to get back to Indonesia after all these years!

Hi..
Maybe I can give you some advice.
You must go to snorkelling in lombok you could go with boat,it's close to Bali. it is very very beautiful place to go to snorkelling.
You should try ayam betutu,it is spicy but it is really delicious.Ohh.. you should try "Pie Susu" it is like an apple pie but it uses milk.
You could try surfing in Kuta, it has a nice waves,you could rent the surfing board every where there's so many places to rent.
If you buy something try to bargaining, they always sell more expensive then the normal price, if you want bargaining you've to be polite.
You could go to Dream Land it is a beach and it is so hot in the afternoon, after you finish play in the beach you could go to Garuda Wisnu Kencana,it's soclose with Dream Land, you could see Kecak dance, Kecak dance start on 6pm. Kecak dance is traditional dance from Bali, and there's Barong dance it is traditional dance from Bali too.
