Was hoping to hear from anyone that has taken their thai friend/gf/spouse to Indonesia or bali island in particular. I looked at a couple of sites and seen that they can go visa free but are not on the list of visa on arrival. So ive determined they can go only for short stay on a visa exempt for 30 days and need a return ticket. Just to be sure, anyone done this recently?, landed at an indo airport and been given the visa exempt and on free they go or were there any problems. Is this something that you need to apply for in advance or just get the visa exempt on arrival?

Thanks for your time

You answered your own question. From the net you find that Thai citizens can travel for up to 30 days on visa excempt.

Visa excempt means that nothing has to be prepared except the flight booking returning within 30 days, and a vald passport.

No application in advance.

well the net isn't always correct, so I just wanted confirmation first hand

This is true... and I can personally vouch for the information.

Just be sure that her passport has more than 90 days validity... or Balinese Immigration can reject entry.

It will cost you about USD100 to "facilitate" her entry.

Been there... done that...
