Hello
..To begin with,i am a first timer,19 yrs old..got just 10 day spare time in this coming month of october,on my own..in ths short vacation,my plan is quite a massive 1..I am planning of visiting 3 nations i.e Malaysia,Indonesia(with main emphasis to Bali) and finally Singapore..i cannot exceed the 10 day timing at all.. My itinerary is as follows:-
*first 4 days in Malaysia,
*on the 5th day,fly to Bali(2 days in Bali),
*on 7th jakarta and nearby places
*on 8th-9th day Singapore
*on the 10th Back to Kuala lampur,and return..

My queries are-
*Visa query-My final entry and exit points of this entire tour is going to be Kuala lampur,Malaysia,so since i will have to enter Malaysia both from India as wel as Singapore(to board my flight back to India) i.e twice, is there any specific visa as such..to allow me double/multi entry to the nation?I am an Indian passport holder.
*Should i cut down the number of nations?(which i dont wana do)
*What should my budget be for this 10 days xcluding airfare?I am a budget traveller...
*I am A first timer abroad,so any other help /suggestions are welcome..
.
.Thanks
-Raj.

Way too much for too short a timeframe, pick one destination and spend your 10 days there.

I wouldn't bother going to Indonesia for 3 days. Either spend 8 days in Malaysia with a side trip to Singapore, or go to Indonesia for the whole 10 days.

I believe you can get a double-entry visa for Malaysia, but you should contact your nearest consulate, or a travel agent who is used to dealing with visas.

As above....your plan means you will spend most of the time in airports,going to and from airports and on buses.

For 10 days you could have a decent look at Bali (some beach,some culture,some mountains etc.) or see a bit of Malaysia and Singapore.

Budget wise....depends on where you stay,what you eat,activities etc........but 50$ (US) a day will give you a decent amount to spend.

Thankq for the replies.seems like,i wl have to reschedule the itinerary..but the thing is,the terrain/geography of Malaysia (xcluding the cities)and the countrysides are quite similarto my native place in india, long stretches of paddy fields,evergreen hills n forests,similar looking ppl(Northeast India)i.e the place where i belong to..so i was thinking of avoiding the most obvious places,and xperiencing the new..so in that way,i gues,4 days wud be an ok in Malaysia.
*i think 2 days are enough for Singapore..
*for Indonesia,I think i wl Stick to Only Bali..
..Thanks anyways.

Raj, you should notice that moving from one country to another implies one day pretty much. Checking out from your place, going to the airport, flying, transportation from the airport to your new hostel, and then checking in again. Same goes for your trip KL-Singapore, whether you´re doing it by train or flight.

I guess your idea for Malaysia is to stay in KL and do day trips from there?

Since you don't seem to think Malaysia will be that interesting, I assume you're going there because you're flying Air Asia? In that case, why not just fly straight out to Indonesia? I wouldn't bother spending more than one or two days in KL.
