Jakarta Embassy Processing time

[BCV&BEV 0]

First off, yes, I am totally aware there is a chance he will be denied. I am all too aware of how that works. We will just hope that the interviewer's coffee was the right temperature, their trip to work was pleasant, and they are in a good mood.

Aside from that, the embassy stated it would take 2-3 biz days to process an approved visa. We interview of Feb the 4th (Tuesday) so it should, in theory be ready on the 7th (Friday). How realistic is this timeframe? For those who have gone through the approval process, has it taken longer than 3 days to be ready?

I don't have vacation time so the time off to fly over there is all unpaid leave. I had thought of buying return tickets for the 10th which gives them 4 business days. I need to make this trip as short and inexpensive as possible. Is 4 business days realistic or should I stay longer?

I know this is a very specific question on an embassy so hoping other Indonesian vjers can chime in here.

Thanks,

-Ben

If all the requirements they ask are complete, the visa will be issued in three or four business days. But if the requirements they ask are not complete then they will ask you to complete it in a time frame they will give, once you complete it they will process the visa and issued it in three or four business days. Indonesian embassy is easy to deal with, confident+eye contact+smile are the best recipe to get the visa

good luck!
