I was just working out if it is cheaper to pay for VIP VOA in AUD or RP and from what I can see it works out cheaper to pay in RP. I was quoted AUD$25 or Rp175 000 per adult and Rp100 000 per child. The total for our group quoted was either AUD$125 or Rp875 000. According to the Oanda currency converter if I get an exchange rate of 7300 it will only cost me AUD$105 if I pay in Rp. I am trying to work out if I should go to the post office and exchange AUD$200 for Rp or not. If you exchange a minimum of $200 at Australia Post there are no fees however I would assume the exchange rate is slightly lower to accomodate for that.
I realise you get a better rate of exchange in Bali so I am wanting to know if there is a currency exchange where I can change money while waiting for paperwork to be done or are they all on the other side of customs.
