Jakarta live update thread.

March 11 (15:09) : just landed at the airport and submitted application as soon as I had proof of visa and WiFi.

Status: Processing

Pending Document Check (1)

Notes: DTV application cost showed up as $343 on my card.

Visa on arrival for Indonesia was $32.

3 and a half hour flight from Bangkok, approximately.

Will update as the process moves along. Hopefully something good by the end of the work week.

From what I’ve seen in other posts, once you submit the requested documents usually approved quickly.

At this point they can still request additional docs or interview but from what I've read people are usually approved in Jakarta within 2-3 days of "Pending Approval" status.

do people normally wait until they get the visa to leave?

Or they just leave after getting the pending approval status?
