For the benefit of non-Sillyporean,i do a small research on VOA (Visa-on-Arrival) to Batam,and there are 2 version of it.
(special THANKS to bro Naresh)
Here is what i found out from a website that are meant for tourist,also a NON-INDO GOVERNMENT site :
Now,the below are from the Indonesia GOVERNMENT SITE :
http://indonesiskaambassaden.se/visa/visa-on-arrival/
Notice the price difference between the 2? The one from the Indonesia Government site price are the old price aka the price that aren't increase on VOA and the one from non-government sites says the price has went up.
So bros here who aren't Sillyporean and needs to apply for VOA to go Batam please take note that the
price for VOA application has indeed increase. Trust the non-Gov site rather than the Gov one for your own safety. Always pay in exact amount in USD if you are heading to Batam on VOA.
It is all i wish to update.
Thank you.
