Hi there! Thanks for visiting BackPackBOB.com!

I love hearing from my readers so if you want to get in touch with me, about anything at all, email me directly at realbackpackbob@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Hello Travelpayouts feel free to send your suggestions, feedback, or inquiries or if you just have a question to ask, then I’d love to hear from you!

For any partnerships, collaborations or business enquiries please check out the work with me and the press page.

You’re much more likely to get a response by sending me an email, but if you’d prefer, you can also get in touch with me through my socials, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even Reddit. Don’t forget to follow, before dropping a message!

Thanks to everyone that’s been getting in touch, the support is truly appreciated. However, my inbox is now overflowing. I will get a response to everyone that has gotten in contact, but it could take up to a week.

Indonesian Visa’s

My inbox has been flooded with questions asking for additional information about Indonesia visa’s and visiting Bali. I am working through my messages and trying to get back to everyone as soon as possible. Here are the answers to some F.A.Q’s.

1) I have been in contact with the embassy in my country, and have been told they are not issuing B211 visas?

It can be a difficult task to obtain information from an embassy at the best of times. However in this case they are correct. There have been some recent changes to the application process for B211 visa’s. Passport visa’s are no longer being issued. Instead, e-visa’s are now being issued by the Directorate General, Jakarta. Which makes the application process quicker and easier.

There is no general website to make an e-visa application at the moment, the application is submitted on your behalf from your sponsor.

2) Can you sponsor my Indonesian visa?

Yes, between me and my partner, we can sponsor a limited number of B211 visas. Over the past few months, we have been helping others to obtain their visa, and travel to Indonesia and Bali.

If you want us to sponsor your visa, the cost is $600 USD and visa approval is guaranteed.

The cost covers all the paperwork mentioned in my post and the visa itself, which will be send via email.

3) Do I need a minimum amount of funds to apply for this visa?

Yes, you’ll need to have at least $1,500 USD (or equivalent) shown on your bank statement. Not $10,000 as some sources are reporting.

4) $600 is quite expensive, is there another way to get sponsorship?

I agree, the price is steep, especially when you consider that before COVID, the cost to enter Indonesia was nothing.

So is there a cheaper way to enter Indonesia? Without a visa you cannot enter Indonesia. Borders are closed for visa-free travel. If you don’t already have a visa, then you’ll need a sponsor, and sponsoring a visa costs money.

But is there a cheaper way to get sponsorship? If you have friends or family, who are Indonesian citizens, who own a business registered in Indonesia, which is capable of offering sponsorship then you could ask for them to assist you with sponsorship.

They should expect to spend around $400 – $450 to obtain all the paperwork needed plus $50 for the visa application.

About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Robb, and I live on vacation. Welcome to 'Backpack Bob'. I didn’t quit my job and sell everything to travel the world. And I didn't quit my job.

I initially funded travel by working abroad. But that doesn’t mean I’m here to save you money. Honestly- I just enjoy writing about the places I’ve been. It’s more of a memoir for myself, to look back on in the future. But if you find my guides useful, then you are very welcome here.

My journey started in 2016 when I decided not to return from a one-month vacation. And when the lockdowns happened in 2020. I found myself stranded in Thailand, (where I now live for six months of the year). I used that time to finally start this blog and share my stories. People have often told me I should write a book about my adventures, so this is the next best thing. For the love, not the money.
