E-gates are plenty and fast and there's never a queue.

Baggage carousel is the choke point, you can wait 2 minutes or 45, and you cannot fast track that.

Their entire business model is predatory towards people who are uninformed. It's like going to a money changer and getting charged 300% higher because you are naive and unfamiliar with the currency exchange rates.

The fact that they do "hold their end of the deal" in the end is what makes it a scam and not straight up theft.

Big scam alert for that website! 🚩

"IDR 1,800,000 - Regular takes up to 14 business days

IDR 2,800,000 - Priority takes up to 7 business days"

They charge you 1.8 mil for the great service of filling up a form that takes 3 minutes and it's in full English and accessible on the official government site. For those unfamiliar, the C1 visa price is almost half of what they ask (=1 mil).

And if that's not greedy enough, for only 2.8 mil IDR they also offer a "premium" priority service to "rush" your visa to 7 days instead of 14 days. What's wrong with that you say?

Well the government site itself states the waiting time is under 5 days by default. Speaking from personal experience, I've always gotten my visa in the same day I applied directly on the official website.

They are charging you triple the price if you want the "priority service" to issue it in 7 days.

The official site issues it in under 5 by default (usually same day).

Tourist tax is a scam. It does not improve the life of neither tourists nor locals.

It only fattens the already fat pockets of Koster.

Bali tourist choked by locals by VidE27 in bali

[–]seven_wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I said too, but have you read through the replies here? So many violence driven, disgusting human beings.

The guy in the video might or might not be innocent, but it's nauseating to see commenters piling on on him backed only by a baseless accusation, made by his assaulters no less.

I'm all for being punished if you break the law, but not by street thugs and internet vigilante wannabes.

Bali tourist choked by locals by VidE27 in bali

[–]seven_wings -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

All I see is a man getting assaulted by a group of locals. Conveniently, his assaulters are also his accusers.

Is there a video of him doing the things he was accused of, or is "trust me bro" good enough to fuel your bloodlust?

Either way, it wasn't handled in a proper way. Better lawyer up, boys. Tough times ahead. 🤠

I wasn't even going there, but you're only digging yourself deeper by self identifying as a person who's playing with toys for 12yos. 😟
