The B211a for social purpose /social budaya pre pandemic always required a sponsor and towards the end before it was suspended also required showing bank statements depending which state you were in.
The B211a for tourist purpose did not require a sponsor unless you decide to extend once you were in Indonesia.
There are now changes to the visit visa and the introduction of the second home visa which will incorporate/rename the retirement visa
The visit visas have new prices (from April 16th) according to length of stay and will not be able to be extended as they are now or pre pandemic
None of these changes or prices pertain to the VOA trebling its price.
