Future Plans

This is mostly me thinking aloud (or rather, writing shit down), so feel free to ignore (it's gonna get long).

Basically, I'm trying to decide what to do in regards to staying in Japan/moving on.

I love living here. I love my job. After a year of doing it, I've learned from my mistakes and I feel like I've become a much better teacher. With the new school year I've implemented some changes in my approach that I know are going to have positive outcomes, and I want to see it through. I want to keep working with these kids, I want to help them grow.

But... I have reasons for wanting to go back to the UK (never thought I'd say that):

Top of the list is my nan having quite severe dementia. That in itself doesn't affect me greatly as I've not seen her for years and was never close to her. However, I know my mum is struggling to look after her. She frequently drives 3 hours to see her, then spends a week caring for her, and while she tries to put a humorous spin on the stories she tells me I can tell it's hard for her. I want to be there for her, maybe even go with her to help look after my nan just to take the burden off of her.

Related to that... I worry that my mum will develop dementia later on and I'll regret not spending the years we could've had together with her. She's the only family member I'm close to really and honestly, I miss her.

Also family-related... I'm missing my niece growing up. I'm not a part of her life at all and that makes me sad.

I'm still considering studying Education Psychology in the city where my brother lives. It would be expensive and I'd need to rely on my dad's money, which I don't really want to do, but it would set me up nicely to either go into research or then apply to do a teaching Masters degree in Norway (plus I'd get to actually be a part of my niece's life for a bit).

I miss having a fucking oven oh my god I want to bake so fucking badly you have no idea.

At the moment I intend to see my contract out for at least the rest of this year. After that, I'm not 100%. I might continue another year and stay until my visa expires (depends on the situation with my nan I guess).

Another plan would be:

Go back to the UK either when my contract reaches its end at the end of January or when my visa expires at the start of January

Come March, apply to university in Norway

Move to Norway the following summer if I get accepted

I'm also considering transfering away from Yamagata if I decide to stay on for a third year, but I'm in two minds. As mentioned above, I want to continue working with these kids and see through what I've started. I also love Yamagata and my team are great and I'm finally making friends! But I also want to explore more of Japan. It's so expensive to travel here from Europe and I doubt I'd be coming back anytime soon, but it's difficult to get to different areas of Japan from Yamagata. If I were in, say, Osaka, it would be much easier for me to go to new places.

Other options:

Just stay in Yamagata and get my visa renewed and settle down properly

Go do TEFL in a different country that's slightly closer to home (maybe Spain or France)

So yeah, those are some thoughts I'm having. I don't really know what to do at the moment and most people just politely listen and then say "well, it's down to you really" and that doesn't help lmao. Thankfully I've got quite a while to decide anyway.

Paris Pt 2

Oh terakhir sampai di Eurostar ya.

Iya keputus nulisnya karena kemarin pas lagi asik-asiknya nulis di ofis Mita nelpon terus berujung ngobrol sejam lah kami, dan karena pas beres ngobrol udah jam 18.30pm aka belom masak apapun di rumah buat buka, ku memutuskan untuk tidak lanjut nulis padahal lagi seru.

Eurostar!

Iya. Jadi kan selama hidup 29 tahun ini belum pernah naik Eurostar ya. Padahal udah sesering itu Perancis-Inggris, kayanya selalu either naik bis dan nyebrang di ferry, atau naik bis terus masuk tunnel. Baru perdana ni naik Eurostar. Terus karena ku mikirnya ah aman nih naik kereta, mepet aja lah ya datengnya, minimal 30menit sebelum departure. Departurenya tuh jam 12.13pm. Terus w masih mikir yang “ah nyampe 11.45am masih aman lah y, berangkat dari hotel jam 11 aja, naik RER cuma ganti sekali gasampe 40menit” TANPA BACA DI TIKET ADA TULISAN “disarankan sampai arrive in station 90-60 menit sebelum departure”. KEBODOHAN EMANG.

Terus pokonya akhirnya bangun jam 10am tu di hari Senin itu, dengan kondisi BELUM PACKING. Untungnya pas lagi showeran nyanyi-nyanyi tersadar “Hah ku belum memperhitungkan waktu jalan dari hotel ke statsiun RER La Defense yang bisa took 30menit sendiri!!”. Hamdalah akhirnya langsung gercep packing dan leave hotel at 10.30am. Itu make baju dan packing udah kaya lagi osjur tu heboh banget. Untungnya si RER ga berulah. Pokoknya kayanya sampe gate Eurostar di Gare du Nord tu 11.30am-an gitu lah. Less than 45mins sebelum departure. NAH TERUS baru tau! Jadi kenapa kita disuruh dating 60-90 mins before departure tu adalah karena BANYAK BANGET pass yang harus dilalui sebelum bisa naik kereta! Lewat imigrasi France, imigrasi UK, security, terus baru bisa ke boarding. Semua passes itu gaakan bisa beres dalam 30 menit sih karena ngantri kan. Yaudah untungnya dibantuin sama mba-mba petugasnya diduluin di imigrasi karena udah mau boarding kereta. Pas di imigrasi UK pake segala fingerprint w ga ada di record gara-gara ganti no passport kan. Untung ada email yang waktu itu ke VFS NL nanyain kalo no passport di appointment sama yang dibawa beda gimana, jadi masih bisa dicari tu no passportnya (karena ga w bawa passport lamanya kan). Hamdalah pokoknya jadi masih ada spare 10mins dari selesai ngelewatin semua checkpoints itu sampe ke boarding di kereta. Untungnya juga di kereta, sebelah kosong jadi mayan leluasa bisa baca novel dan naroh tas di samping.

Sampe London sempet galau mau ngereta ke Ox-nya atau ngebis tapi karena lebih murah dan gampang banget logistically kalo ngebis (kalo ngebis langsung bisa turun halte depan rumah, kalo ngereta harus ngebis lagi nanti dari stasiun, dan melihat bawaan w banyak gini pengennya cepet sampe rumah gampang aja) akhirnya pilih bis. Langsung nge-tube dari St. Pancras ke Victoria terus nungguin bis. Hamdalah by 16pm(?) kayanya udah sampai rumah Headington.

Udah sih habis itu istirahat aja kecapean. Lupa buka pake apa. Kayanya sempet belanja di Sainsbury dulu turun bis sebelum jalan ke rumah.

Besoknya Selasa udah diajak diskusi sama postdoc w jam 3 sore. Terus itu last week Selasa-Jumat betul-betul week terproduktif w selama 2023 kayanya. Produce banyak banget data baru. Ngelab terus. Apply visa buat France. Pokoknya banyak banget yang dikerjain sampe pusing dan mau muntah rasanya, tapi at the same time juga feel very proud.

Sekarang udah minggu ke-dua setelah Easter break, orang-orang udah pada balik kerja lagi. Perpus udah mulai rame lagi (karena udah Week 0 juga sih). Si data baru ini juga udah w lempar ke tim dan jujur masih belum siap ngerjain yang ini karena sisa-sisa kemarin juga masih banyak yang harus dikerjakan HUFT. But it’s okay Non, semangat! Pasti bisa!

Beberapa hari ini lagi nyiapin buat acara HBH juga ni w jadi PJ tempat lagi di Cohen Quad hari Minggu tanggal 23 April. Akhirnya berakhir juga Ramadan! Bisa kembali get my quality sleep.

OH sama satu lagi, berita duka, kemarin Caper meninggal HUHU. Sangat amat sedih, hari Sabtu kemarin cuma buat berduka aja. Minggu lumayan healing nonton Suzume di Odeon Magdalen dapet £7, dilanjut bukber di rumah Marcell (and picked up my TANAMERA!), beli ayam popeye ludes laku, dibikinin es buah juga sama Vassa dan Adnya, dibeliin rendang sama Angga, ada pizza juga. Widari bikin kueh enak. Alhamdulillah masih dikasih kesempatan sama Allah buat main.

Nanti lebaran plannya bantuin Bu Yani serving makanan di Wisma Nusantara. Minggunya HBH. Terus Senin ke London buat biometric appointment TLSFrance. Wow sangat busy ya schedule. Looking forward to it!

OH SAMA fingercrossed YAALLAH SEMOGA dapet visanya lumayan lama sampe 21 Juli jadi bisa balik ke Paris lagi buat nonton Lollapalooza (AAAMIIINNNNN).

Kemarin juga udah booked ticket CHRIS HADFIELD KE UK??? WAH seru banget sih, so far udah punya tiket Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye 8 Juli, Trevor Noah 23 Nov, terus Chris Hadfield (May yah/atau July?). 2023 BETUL-BETUL A BLESSING SIH. Ini ternyata rasanya hidup kalua ngga ada COVID. Makasih ya Allah sudah ngasih lewat COVID huhu. Amat sangat bersyukur.

Terus lagi banyak juga orang yang recently reach out to me terkait applying PhD ternyata selama ini belum pernah bahas detail, baru Jardine aja. Masuk list tulisan lah ya. Banyak juga sih yang sebetulnya pengen dikeluarin unek-unek, terutama setelah semalem habis makan bareng Kalina dan kami ngobrol banyak buangett. Next time lah ya.

Hari ini habis fangirling tulisan Nabilah (please do pay a visit and enjoy how she vividly described colors here adnabilah.com ) terus I wish I could write half as good??? Lihat aja contohnya post ini udah ngalor ngidulnya MasyaAllah. Ini otak w kayanya emang nggak terstruktur dengan sistematik apa gimana sih. Thoughtsnya saling crossing each other aja, messy.

Dah gitu dulu aja. Laper. Bye.

Study Abroad Made Easy with Simple Visa and Application Processes

Studying abroad is a dream for many, offering the chance to experience a new culture, gain world-class education, and open doors to international career opportunities. However, one common concern that holds students back is the complex and often intimidating visa and application process. The good news? Many countries and universities have streamlined their procedures, making it easier than ever to apply, get approved, and embark on this exciting journey. Here’s a guide to navigating the study abroad process, from choosing your destination to securing your visa with ease.

Study in Malaysia

Step 1: Choose Your Study Destination and Program

The first step is to decide where you want to study and which program fits your goals. Different countries offer unique experiences and benefits:

United States: Known for its diverse programs and prestigious universities.

United Kingdom: A popular destination for students looking to experience rich culture and top-tier institutions.

Australia and New Zealand: Favorable visa policies and globally recognized programs.

Canada: Known for its welcoming attitude toward international students and post-study work opportunities.

Germany and France: Home to high-quality education and various programs in English.

Research the courses that interest you and check the requirements. Many universities now have clear and user-friendly websites with dedicated sections for international applicants, so you can get the information you need quickly.

Step 2: Understand the Visa Process in Your Chosen Country

Each country has its own visa requirements, and knowing the specifics can help you feel more prepared:

United States (F-1 Student Visa): The U.S. requires you to get accepted to a SEVP-certified school before applying for a visa. You’ll need to complete the DS-160 form, pay the SEVIS fee, and schedule an interview at your local embassy or consulate.

United Kingdom (Tier 4 Student Visa): After getting accepted by a UK university, you'll receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that’s essential for your visa application. The UK also offers a Graduate Route, allowing you to stay and work after finishing your studies.

Canada (Study Permit): Once you receive an acceptance letter from a Canadian institution, you can apply for a study permit. Canada also offers a streamlined process called Student Direct Stream for students from select countries.

Australia (Student Visa Subclass 500): You’ll need a Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE) from an Australian university. Australia’s visa process includes an online application, so it's straightforward and easy to track.

European Countries (Schengen Student Visa): For study in Europe, you'll often need a Schengen Visa, which allows travel within most EU countries.

Make sure to keep track of deadlines and requirements, as these vary from country to country.

Step 3: Simplify the Application Process

Today, many universities offer an online application system that saves you time and hassle. These are some of the best practices to make sure your application goes smoothly:

Create a Checklist: Make a list of all required documents, which often include your transcripts, a copy of your passport, standardized test scores (like the SAT, GRE, or IELTS), recommendation letters, and a personal statement.

Write a Strong Personal Statement: Use this space to explain why you chose the program and what your goals are. Be clear and authentic, as this is your chance to stand out.

Use Centralized Application Portals: Some countries, like the UK (UCAS) and Germany (Uni-Assist), have centralized portals where you can apply to multiple institutions in one place, reducing paperwork and saving time.

Study in Malaysia

Step 4: Apply for Scholarships and Financial Aid

Studying abroad can be costly, but many universities offer scholarships, and some countries even provide government-funded options. Popular scholarships include:

Erasmus+ (EU): Offers scholarships for students studying within the EU.

Fulbright (U.S.): A competitive scholarship program for international students studying in the U.S.

Commonwealth Scholarships (UK): Available for students from Commonwealth countries.

DAAD Scholarships (Germany): Funded by the German government for international students.

Australia Awards: Provides scholarships for students from partner countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Researching and applying for scholarships can make studying abroad more affordable and accessible.

Step 5: Preparing for Your Visa Interview (if required)

Some countries, like the U.S., require an in-person interview for student visas. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

Practice Common Questions: You’ll likely be asked about your study plans, finances, and career goals. Be prepared with clear, concise answers.

Bring Required Documents: Have all your documents organized, including your acceptance letter, financial proof, and any other relevant paperwork.

Be Confident and Honest: The interview is a chance to demonstrate your commitment to your studies, so be sincere and confident in your responses.

Step 6: Post-Arrival Tips and Support

Many countries and universities offer orientation programs to help international students settle in. Here are some key things to consider after arriving:

Attend Orientation Programs: These programs introduce you to campus facilities, local culture, and essential resources.

Set Up Local Bank Accounts: It’s practical to have a local bank account for managing expenses.

Connect with International Student Groups: These groups offer a support network and a way to make friends from around the world.

Understand the Health Insurance Requirements: Some countries require students to have specific health coverage, so check the guidelines and arrange for insurance as needed.

Internship Visa Requirements: Everything You Need to Know by Country

An internship is one of the best ways to get practical experience by students in their area of specialization, professional networking, and increasing chances of getting some well-paid job after graduation. For those people who would like to intern abroad, the process is not always about finding an opportunity for internship, it could often be heading the visa application process.

Whether you are a student exploring new international countries or a company hosting international interns, it is very important that you are well-versed with the internship visa requirements. In this blog post, we are simplifying and breaking down some of the most popular internship destinations with their corresponding visa requirements. We will also show you how, using an internship service for students like Internship Finder, can make the entire process smoother and easier.

Why Visa Requirements Matter for Internships

For international students pursuing an internship abroad, understanding visa requirements is essential. A proper visa not only permits you to work legally during your internship but also avoids complications that could interrupt your program. With factors like destination country, internship duration, nationality, and whether the position is paid or unpaid, visa requirements vary widely. Let’s explore the most common visa requirements for popular internship destinations, and see how Internship Finder, a dedicated internship service for students, simplifies this journey. Whether you’re headed to London, Berlin, or even looking for a Stage in Amerika, here’s what you need to know.

Visa Requirements by Destination

United States: J-1 Visa for Interns The United States is a top internship destination for business, tech, and engineering. To intern here, the J-1 Visa is the most common option. This visa allows students and recent graduates to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months (or 18 months for certain trainees). The main requirements include a sponsoring organization, securing the internship prior to applying, proof of financial support, and a DS-2019 form, which is part of the application process.

United Kingdom: Tier 5 Temporary Worker – Government Authorized Exchange Visa This visa allows students to intern in the UK for up to 24 months, provided their internship provider is a licensed sponsor. Internship Finder, for instance, assists students in connecting with licensed sponsors, streamlining the visa process and removing much of the administrative hassle.

Canada: International Experience Canada (IEC) Canada’s IEC program is designed for youth from participating countries to work and travel within Canada for up to two years. For an internship, you’ll need a job offer or internship placement and proof of funds and insurance. Another option, the Co-op Work Permit, is available for students enrolled full-time but not covered by IEC.

Australia: Temporary Activity Visa (Subclass 408) Ideal for internships related to tourism, marketing, and business, this visa allows students to work in Australia as part of an approved program. This visa requires a confirmed placement and proof of health insurance, granting students a stay of up to 12 months.

European Union: Schengen Visa and National Visas Students pursuing shorter internships (up to 90 days within a 180-day period) can use the Schengen Visa for most EU countries. Longer internships require a National Visa, such as Germany’s National Visa or France’s Temporary Work Visa, both of which demand an acceptance letter from the employer and compliance with local regulations.

How Internship Finder Simplifies the Visa Process

Navigating the visa application process can be complex, but Internship Finder offers comprehensive support, making it a reliable internship service for students. Here’s how Internship Finder assists:

Visa Consulting: Our team provides step-by-step guidance for students, from document preparation to embassy appointments, to ensure each student fulfills the visa requirements seamlessly.

By partnering with a dedicated internship service for students like Internship Finder, students can reduce the complexity of this process and focus on their goals.

Travel from the UK to Paris: Requirements for 2024

For international travelers, like those from the UK, the top destinations around the globe are known as the City of Lights. Regardless of whether you are traveling out for a weekend or making it a family trip, business trip, or whatever category fits, a preparatory step for traveling from the UK to Paris should not miss some core entry requirements, specific visa aspects, and other crucial travel tips.

1. Do Citizens or Resident from the UK Need a Visa to Enter Paris?

Well, since 2024, the UK is no longer in the European Union, so UK citizens would need to be on the lookout for other rules that vary from one another. But for the UK Residents may require the French visa if you are travelling to Paris. Information related to the topic is as follows:

a. Short Term Stay Visas

UK citizens do not require a visa to visit Paris or any other country in the Schengen Area on holiday or to visit their families or on business, but once more only if the duration of your visit will not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period. If your stay is intended to be longer than 90 days, you must apply at the French visa at francevisaagent.co.uk for a long-stay visa.

b. ETIAS Authorization

As from 2024, British citizens will be required to apply for ETIAS-European Travel Information and Authorization System-before venturing into Paris. An ETIAS is not a visa but an electronic travel authorization that ensures you meet prerequisite criteria for entry. Its validity is for multiple entries over three years or the validity of your passport, whichever occurs first.

c. For UK Residents

Peoples who are living in UK and they are a UK Resident then you must apply for a French Schengen visa with having the required documents in which the mandatory documents are UK Residence permit number and BRP holder card to apply for a Visa.

2. Valid Passport: Required Travel Document

Your passport is considered the most vital travel document when going to Paris from the UK.

a. Validity of Passport

Travelers from the UK must have a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond their intended exit date from the Schengen Area. If your passport is approaching the expiration date, renew it before you face any last-minute problem with immigration during your trip to Paris.

b. Stamp on Your Passport

As soon as you arrive in France, your passport will have stamped onto it the beginning of your 90-day stay in the Schengen Zone. Always note and track entry and exit dates so you do not overstay.

3. Travel Insurance: Do You Need It?

Not mandatory for UK citizens going to Paris, But UK Residents may require and highly recommended:

a. Medical coverage

Health care in France can be costly, especially in an emergency situation. Travel insurance will also pay for doctor bills and assist in safeguarding you against any untoward incidents like getting sick or hurt or getting hospitalized during your visit.

b. Trip Cancellation and Delay

Insurance can also account for trip cancellations, delays, and lost luggage to free you from any anxiety at any unforeseen situations.

4. How to get to Paris from the UK

There are a number of easy ways to reach Paris from the UK. Whether it is flying, by train, or by road; these are detailed respective options: By Air

Flying is the most convenient travel option to Paris from the UK. Major airlines like British Airways, EasyJet, and Air France offer direct flights from cities like London, Manchester, and Edinburgh to Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport or Orly Airport.

Flight Duration: Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from London.

Ticket Prices: Prices vary but can range from £50-£200 depending on the season and how early you book.

b. By Eurostar

Alternative Route: Eurostar Train from London St. Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord would be the most scenic option.

• Travel Time: Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes.

• Fares: Generally in the range of £39-£150 depending upon how long beforehand you book and the class of travel.

c. Car or Ferry:

You can also drive from the UK to Paris. From Folkestone you can take the Eurotunnel to Calais, or take a ferry from Dover to Calais and then to Paris.

• Travel Time: Around 6 hours depending on traffic and stoppages.

• Expenses: There are ferry fares around £50-£100, and fuel will be on your expense as well.

5. Paris Currency and Spending

Even though the British Pound (GBP) is the accepted UK currency, France uses Euros (€). Here's what you want to know about Paris currency and payments:

a. Currency Exchange

Plan to exchange a small quantity of GBP for Euros when you get off the plane. It is also possible to change money at airports but usually charged at a fee.

b. Using Cards

Most businesses in Paris should be able to accept at least the major credit and debit cards, including Visa and Mastercard. Contactless payments are widely accepted and would make it very easy for UK tourists to buy things rather than carry large amounts of cash.

c. Budget

Paris tends to be a bit pricey, especially in touristic areas. Budgeting for meals, transportation, and attractions is essential. An average meal in a mid-range restaurant may cost as much as €15-€30.

6. Language and Communication

While most people in Paris can speak English, it is always a good idea to know some of the basic French phrases to make your trip go much smoother. Such phrases as "Bonjour" (Hello), "Merci" (Thank you), and "Parlez-vous anglais?" (Do you speak English?) can really go a long way in furthering goodwill.

7. Paris Transport: Navigating the City

Getting around once you're in the city is relatively easy. Paris has an enormous public transport network. Among these are the metro and buses as well as taxis.

a. The Paris Metro

The Paris Metro is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to get around the city. It has 16 lines that cover the entire city; it's easy to get to major tourist attractions like Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre-Dame.

• Metro Tickets: A ticket ranges from about €1.90. Mobilis is the day pass and costs between €7-€17 depending on the zone.

b. Taxis and Ride-Sharing

Taxis are available, but taxis for public transport are pretty expensive. Ride-sharing, such as Uber, is popular and relatively cheap.

8. Tips Before the Journey to Finally Arrive in Paris from the UK

a. Be Prepared for Tourist Hotspots

Some of the world's most famous sights can be found in Paris. Go ahead and reserve a visit to the Eiffel Tower or Louvre Museum so that you do not have to stand in serpentine queues for a long time.

b. Be Safe

Paris is regarded as a safe city. However, like in any other tourist destination, keep your wits about you and do not let loose especially near the metro stations as well as the tourist attractions.

c. Locals and Etiquette

Parisiens are proud about their culture and language. Local custom: respect local customs, try to speak French-just a few words can make you smile.

Conclusion

Traveling from the UK to Paris in 2024 is quite painless, exciting, if prepared for, to say the least. Let's just say anything you need to know concerning visas and passports, transport, and local tips can be found in this guide. Whether visiting Paris for the very first time or as an old hand, take your time to plan ahead, keep yourself well-informed, and soak up all that this incredible city has to offer. Bon voyage!

Indian Passport Holders: Exciting News! Free Visa Entry to Indonesia for Tourists from 20 Countries, Including India

Great news for Indian passport holders! Indonesia has announced a free visa entry policy for tourists from 20 countries, including India. This initiative is expected to be finalized by October 2024 and will make traveling to Indonesia much easier for Indian tourists. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting development.

Indonesia Announces Free Visa Entry

Indonesia is gearing up to welcome tourists from India with visa-free entry, eliminating the hassle of visa applications. This initiative, led by Indonesia’s Tourism Minister, Sandiaga Uno, aims to attract high-spending tourists from key countries, which will give a boost to Indonesia’s economy.

By removing visa requirements for Indian tourists, Indonesia hopes to increase foreign tourist arrivals, stimulate domestic spending, and boost foreign investment. The policy will also encourage the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy.

Why This Matters for Indian Tourists

Indonesia has long been a favorite destination for Indian travelers, with its beautiful beaches, rich culture, and vibrant cities like Bali and Jakarta. With the new visa-free entry policy, it will be even easier to visit these popular spots without worrying about visa delays or extra costs.

Before the pandemic, tourists spent an average of $900 during their stay in Indonesia. However, post-pandemic trends show visitors now spend around $1,600 per trip. This new policy aims to attract more “quality tourists” — travelers who stay longer and contribute more to the local economy.

List of Countries Eligible for Free Visa Entry

India is one of the 20 countries that will benefit from Indonesia’s visa-free policy. Other countries include:

Australia

China (PRC)

South Korea

USA

UK

France

Germany

Qatar

UAE

Saudi Arabia

Netherlands

Japan

Russia

Taiwan

New Zealand

Italy

Spain

And two additional Middle Eastern countries to be specified.

Tourist Visa Options for Other Travelers

If you still require a visa to visit Indonesia (for countries not included in the visa-free list), there are a few options available based on your stay duration and the activities planned:

Type B1–30 Days

Stay: Up to 30 days (extendable for an additional 30 days).

Cost: Rp 500,000 (Rs 2,557).

Activities: Tourism, family visits, meetings, conventions, exhibitions.

Stay: Up to 60 days per entry.
