Just got approved in Jakarta! Grateful for all the info / help I got from this group.

Here’s an overview of the process I went through. My advice is although Jakarta is smooth, don’t be like me and wait until last minute to apply.

I applied on May 29th. Got approved on June 11th. My stay permit (extended) in Indonesia expires June 13th.

I have a French passport and applied through soft power: 3 months via Tiger Eye - they were really helpful 💯

Submitted:

- proof of location: confirmation of my booking on Agoda with 2 nights booked then attached a letter mentioning that I plan on moving around in Indonesia while Visa is processing, stay permit in Indonesia, flight ticket to Denpasar (from BKK), and screenshot of my pinned location on Google maps

- proof of financial funds: 6 months bank statement of my savings with 500k+ baht, screenshot of the conversion from my currency to baht.

- paperwork sent to me by Tiger Eye Muay Thai

Submitted on May 29th. There were couple holidays in between.

Website was showing Pending Document Check for a few days.

June 9th I got an email asking to upload a proper Visa photograph. The one I uploaded originally I think wasn’t appropriate as I wasn’t wearing any sleeves so I took an proper Visa photo and submitted it.

I then called the embassy on the 11th to ask for an update as my Indonesia visa was coming to an end. I was told to wait. I patiently waited. Around 1pm I checked and it was « pending approval ». Then 6pm I received an email with the approval.
