Mandatory payments.

- Extending a visa on arrival, if you stay for a second month: a fee of 500,000 rupiah, an application on evisa.imigrasi.go.id 14 to 7 days before the end of the term, then a visit to the immigration office for a photo (visa on arrival extension). If you do not want to handle the extension yourself, message @buzz_visa.
Money. Where to change money and which ATMs are more reliable: rupiah, exchange offices and ATMs. If you want rupiah for the whole month without hunting for an exchange office, write to BUZZ Exchange on Telegram: the rupiah arrive on GoPay, in an account or in cash, and the rate is named before the transfer.
Our advice: book the first two or three nights in advance, and take housing and a scooter for a month on the spot, after viewing. The monthly price from rentals and owners is lower than the daily one, and on the spot you can see whether the air conditioning works and how the scooter rides.
