Payment for visa at Manila embassy of indonesia

Post new topic

kazzalass

Hello Expats,
I have read that the Embassy of Indonesia in Manila only accepts Philippines bank cheques and not cash. Is there a bank nearby to arrange this cheque and can this be done on the same morning as the visa application.
Also is there a limit of visa applications per day, like there is in KL, which only accepts 100 applications per day?
Basically I want to know if I need more than one morning to submit my application. The plan is to fly to another island the same day
Thanks in advance.

Have you asked on the Philippines forum and also have you contacted the Embassy in Manila and asked them as well?

I did mine in Singapore.

Cost S$345 cash. Agent came to the hotel to collect at 8am and return your passport at 4pm.

Takes 4 working days in Malaysia. Not sure how long in Manila.

It seems weird that foreigners who apply for an Indonesian Visa at the Indonesian Embassy in Manila cannot pay with cash. Do you actually need a Visa for Indonesia?

Thanks for the replies but I really just need to know if I can process the visa and get the bank cheque on the same morning. All other info I have already.
I see on Google maps there is a bank across the road, but wonder if I have time to do both. Has anyone tried this?

Have you tried posting your query on the TripAdvisor Forums?

The reason I ask is because Expat.com is more geared towards assisting expats, and since your query seems more to do with travel then TripAdvisor Forums might provide the answers that you are looking for. Unless there are other westerners who have experience applying for a visa to visit Indonesia through the Indonesian Embassy in Manila.

The OP would be entitled to a free VOA if the stay is 30 days or less so it must be something else.
Perhaps the OP could clarify.

That's what I was thinking too. But it seems the OP knows what she is doing.

My first visa for Indonesia by the company I worked for at the time was applied for in Singapore (was $145 3 years ago quotes within Indonesia ranged from $3,000- $8,000) because it was a hell of a lot cheaper and a much more straightforward process towards KITAS
typically Indonesian Embassay away from Indonesia but within Asia use US$ and cash  only (Singapore one of only a few exceptions to use own country currency SG$) but like others have suggested it’s best to clarify before hand if it’s a work Visa whoever your contact is should have informed you
