Wyohappy Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I'm taking a Silversea cruise which stops in Bali, they notified me that I need to apply for a 30 day visa on the Indonesian website. After struggling with getting the pictures uploaded it came to the address of where I will be staying. I can't get past the postal code, anyone else who has filed for a cruise stop visa have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmmybtty Posted September 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The postal code for Bali is 80222. Good luck. It took me 4 hours to complete and submit the info. Their website is wonky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used the services of an outside company for DW and it is over $200 to do it with them but not even confident its going to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmmybtty Posted September 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Can you given any specific problems you are having? The address is the name of the ship. Once you put in the postal code, all of the other addresses automatically populate. The picture has to be a small pixel size. What I did was send it to myself as small and then save to my downloads where I could attach to the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShag Posted September 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The program seems to have extreme difficulty in reviewing the appropriateness of the passport photo. It either says it’s unacceptable or the progress metre just keeps spinning. If I ever do get successful at that, which happens occasionally, once the whole thing is completed and filled out and it’s entirety again I have to keep resubmitting it over and over again. I’ve tried both chrome and safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmmybtty Posted September 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Try seeing if a smaller pixel format for the passport (like I described for the photo) will work. Otherwise you will just have to resubmit again and again. It took me almost 3 days of submitting and resubmitting and quitting before it finally was accepted. I think their system was testing how much we wanted to go there 😀. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it to work once and now it won't. I've sized it several times to get it to fit, just made sure all the info is on it. I just keep trying.

It makes me never want to go there ever again if this is what I have to go through! If only the tourism department was really aware of all this.

grmmybtty Posted September 12, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I can feel your pain. I went through the same frustrations as you did. The visas for Cambodia and Vietnam are equally frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyohappy Posted September 12, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Wow this is all way above my pay grade, I'm an old lady I wasn't brought up with technology. Heck, my first office job had a manual typewriter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm pretty competent on a compurt now, but it was difficult to complete all 3 visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShag Posted September 16, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Not the case with all cruise lines. In particular, our upcoming cruise on Regent that is not the case. Best to check beforehand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what should be done since everyone is having these problems! It's been over 10 days, and we still cannot get it to go through. Mine was fine, took about 30 minutes; hubby's is the one not getting through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeygirl56 Posted September 13 #18 Share Posted September 13 How much did HAL charge for Visa? My first port of call in December is Surabaya if I attempt to do it myself and succeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
