    Default Visa run for sosbud

    Hi again.
    Sorry for boring you always with same questions.
    Which is the best visa-run for sosbud ?

    Singapore, KL or?
    Did you know how long or somebody can do it?
    Where you go when your sosbud is going to finish ?

    I found a post of Bert really interesting but it's dated 2003 !!

    1. I have used http://www.hana-express.com.sg/ in the past. A good and efficient service.
    2. Easy to process a social visa yourself. 2 or 3 days
    3. Return flights = circa $200

    KL
    1. No visa agents in KL so you must apply in person
    2. Easy & cheap to travel DPS-KL via Easy Jet

    BKK
    1. No visa agents in BKK so you must apply in person
    2. Easy to process a social visa yourself. 2 or 3 days
    3. Not so cheap to fly DPS-BKK directly
    4. If you are not in a rush, cheap to fly DPS-BKK via KL using Easy Jet

    Where You Go When Your Sosbud Is Going To Finish ?
    1. Somewhere outside the Republic of Indonesia
    2. Kerobokan Jail

    Manuel must have obtained his visa, as he's already in Bali.

    I believe the "best" sosbud visa run is still Singapore.
    Same day service, provided that you can get a flight arriving there early enough.

    Haven't tried KL. I imagine Bangkok would be a nightmare unless you enjoy congested traffic and air-pollution.

    Darwin's OK, too, or at least it was when I went there once.
    One day, friendly staff, no extra charge, no agent needed. Flights between Bali and Darwin are not always convenient (and over-priced).

    Perth is also "reasonable", but used to take me three days.
    A bit of "arm-bending" and a one-day scenario is possible (pay a bit extra). Prices for return flights to Perth have become ridiculously expensive.

    :D

    Just sidetracking away from topic a little, but what is it with the prices with flights to and from Perth now?? - mahal...

    And also the schedules - the majority of Garuda flights, DPS-PER depart at midnight, arriving around 4am - what a shocker

    Yet, there are very few empty seats, on any of the flights I've taken lately, both on and off season....hmmmm

    It's all a conspiracy...
    Life's a beach......
