In Reply to: 61/2 hrs to Bali 3 hrs in DPS Apt !!! posted by jessmont on Tuesday, 4. August 2009 at 12:34 Bali Time:
We arrive at 1.30pm next Monday and after VIP VOA was canned I was hoping I might finally get a relatively smooth run through VOA and immigration. I have always been hit with 2+ hour waits. This time we are travelling with the 2 kids though so will be even more unbearable. I had originally booked VIP VOA and was planning on cancelling it as now they can't offer the same service. Apparently they take your passport and $USD and pay for the VOA and then you are ushered to a second person who has been lining up on your behalf in the immigration queue until you get there. I didn't think this was value for money but after reading your experience of arriving on a Monday it might actually be the way to go. Really not sure what to do now.
