Apparently Indonesia has recently suspended their Visa exemption for short stays. It looks like the only way to get in at the moment is an e-Visa (which requires a local sponsor) or Visa On Arrival, which seems to be difficult and cumbersome.
- Does anyone has recent experience with Visa on Arrival in Jakarta or any other entry point in Indonesia?
- Does anyone know whether the Visa exemption has actually been suspended or not? Most website seem to say that it's still in place. I tried the Indonesian Embassy chatbot which gave me link to the the qualifying countries (https://www.imigrasi.go.id/id/foreign_passport/) The link is big old 404.
It it matters I was planning to travel with an US or German passport, whatever is easier.
