In Reply to: Waiting at VOA. posted by spinningwheel on Monday, 2. November 2009 at 14:22 Bali Time:
Indonesian citizens who may be terrorists do not need a passport or voa to enter Bali.The staff that are used by the major providers of VIP VOA are high ranking security officials who could not afford to be involved in illegal practices.The VIP VOA service was not raided but teporarily suspended in August to allow close scrutiny of the VOA staff. As soon as that was completed the service was allowed to start again & has worked legally since 7th September.
What is next on the agenda? Preventing Muslim women from wearing a burka.
If you don't like the Indonesian culture or the way things are done there, don't go there. The choice is yours.
