REQUIRE VISAS IN ADVANCE
Apart from 169 countries above will require advance visa from an Indonesian Embassy. If in doubt please contact an Indonesian Embassy. Pangkil cannot take any responsibility for the veracity of this information.

 

THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
In Singapore, the chancery (visa section) is contactable as follows:

Address: 7 Chatsworth Road, Singapore 249761
Phone: +65 6737 7422
Fax: +65 6737 5037 ; +65 6235 5783
Office Hours: Mon-Thu, 08:30-13:00 & 14:00-17:00
Fri, 08:30-12:30 & 14:30-17:00
Closed Sat.
Notes: Visas take about 3 working days

VISAS ON ARRIVAL
The costs of the visas in Bintan are USD15 (1-7 days) & USD35 (1-30 days). Overstays: USD20 per day (at least!)
Note:

  1. These fees are payable in US$ CASH. They usually accept S$ CASH but you’ll lose a few dollars per person at their inflated exchange rate
  2. You CAN NOT pay for visas using a credit card
  3. These are single entry visas
  4. The physical visa sticker takes up half page of your passport. Make sure you have space
  5. Your passport must have at least 6 months left before it expires
  6. You DO NOT require passport photos (but as seasoned travellers you probably have a couple tucked into your passport for emergencies)
  7. THIS SECTION APPLIES FOR THE LAGOI TERMINAL ONLY: Obtaining a visa on arrival can take as little as 5 minutes if your ferry is fairly empty. On a Friday night on the last ferry it can take up to an hour, so we strongly recommend that you obtain one from an embassy (or catch a ferry before 17:00)
  8. Visas On Arrival ARE now obtainable at the port of Tanjung Pinang. There are negligible queues for VoAs

VISAS IN ADVANCE
The cost of a visa from the Indonesian Embassy (Singapore) is SGD70 (1-30 days validity)
Note:

  1. This is a single entry visa
  2. Obtaining a visa in advance will allow you and your group to travel to Tanjung Pinang directly and shorten the end-to-end travel time to Pangkil
