How much does a single-entry Indonesian tourist visa cost?

Hi the website says visa on arrival for British national is IDR 500,000/-. But when I tried to apply for the same via evisa site it says it cost IDR 1,000,000/- Is it cheaper at the airport?

The discrepancy is probably due to different visa types or processing fees. The airport fee might be the cheaper option, but always confirm directly with the Indonesian embassy or consulate in the UK before you travel to avoid any surprises. Better safe than sorry!

Kuta to Sanur or Seminyak on New Year's Eve?

Partner's in Kuta hospital, roads closing for NYE. Better bet for getting back to a hotel in Sanur or Seminyak tomorrow evening?

Oof, that's a tough one. New Year's Eve in Bali is… something else. Sanur's generally calmer than Seminyak, so the roads might be slightly less chaotic getting back to your hotel. But with your partner in the hospital, the shortest, least congested route wins. Use Google Maps (or whatever app you have) right now – check traffic predictions for both routes at the time you anticipate leaving. That'll give you the best real-time answer. And honestly, maybe have a backup plan...like a driver on standby if things get truly insane. Wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
