elmac40 Posted August 11 #1 Share Posted August 11 Hi Looking for advice from anyone who has done the above cruise. My question is with regards to the Indonesian EVisa. I will go online to the official Indonesian website and purchase my B1Visa on Arrival. After this when on the cruise do we pass our passports to HAL for them to have this checked by the Indonesian authorities (our first port after Singapore is Surabaya) or when off the ship do we have our passports checked at the port in Surabaya? Any advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted August 11 #2 Share Posted August 11 Does your cruise stop at more than 1 Indonesian port after another non-Indonesian port? Ours does so trying to figure out if we can do 2 of the B1 on Arrival visas. That would be a lot less money than the multiple visit visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a one year, multiple entry visa which costs 3,000,000 IDR, which is equivalent of about $188.00 USD, the one time visa is 500,000 which is about $30.00 USD.

SusieKIslandGirl Posted August 11 #6 Share Posted August 11 But because the cruise leaves Indonesia, stops in another country and then goes pack, we need 2 visas, if I understand what I've been reading. That's why I wondered if it was possible to do the 2 separate one-time visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asebastian Posted August 12 #7 Share Posted August 12 We did just a single entry visa for multiple ports in Indonesia (Westerdam Asian cruise late last year). After the first port, the stewards will drop a form in your cabin to fill out and give at the port authorities on disembarkation (although only 1 or 2 ports were actually interested to take the paper! We even saw on one port the papers were in a bin). Regarding your question of visa requirements if leaving the country and coming back, I think the original visa may still apply if you're back within 30 days. But please check anyway, don't take my word for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted August 12 #8 Share Posted August 12 Thanks @asebastian. Were all your Indonesian ports in a row without stops in other countries in between? With the cost of the cruise and all the shore excursions, I hate to pay the big bucks for a multiple entry visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_Dieterich Posted August 12 #9 Share Posted August 12 Was on a Indonesian cruise late last year. When you get on they will collect your passport and give it back when you leave indonesia. For the visa, first check what is needed and accepted. What I am describing is for the USA. You can do nothing and you will get a visa on board, the cruise line will also charge you. For HAL the cost was $60, I don't know if that was what Indonesia charged them. The more work version and cheaper is to go to the Indonesia on-line site https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ and for around $35 get your visa there, the site can be a pain to get working. If you go this way make sure you print out the final version with all the bar codes on a single page. Then include a printed copy of that visa with your passport. Tell the cruise people when they are collecting your passports and they flagged it. I did the on-line version and was not charged the money for the visa.

asebastian Posted August 13 #12 Share Posted August 13 If you want further info on applying online please see roll call "Westerdam November 25th, 2023 Indonesia Discovery from/to Singapore" Page 18, post #445 with steps. That roll call also has heaps of other Indonesian info that you may find useful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmac40 Posted September 1 Author #13 Share Posted September 1 One further question regarding the E-visa for Indonesia-when applying online it asks for your accommodation address in Indonesia. If we’re on a cruise ship what do we state and what post code should we use? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieKIslandGirl Posted September 2 #15 Share Posted September 2 Relating to visiting Singapore, has anyone had experience with taking their CPAP machine? One place said that doctor's prescription and advanced approval was needed but somewhere else said it's not a problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to check on the Singapore government HSA website for what has to be approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted September 2 #17 Share Posted September 2 I have checked there and it says to have a prescription but others have said they didn't need all that so am checking to see if anyone has recently entered Singapore with a CPAP machine and what they needed.
