Lombok plays the quiet and lovely little sister brilliantly, despite being overshadowed by her flashy elder sister. The pace is slow in Lombok, and the vibe is relaxed.

Swimming, snorkeling, diving, surfing, and fishing are all popular water sports along the coasts. Expats in Lombok typically work in the tourism and hospitality industries, such as hotels, restaurants, tour and travel, and arts & craft.

Choosing The Right Visa Agents in Indonesia When picking a visa agent in Indonesia, there are several aspects to consider to avoid any discrepancies or confusion: Recognize Fraudulent Visa Agents A sham visa agency may misplace crucial visa application materials or make mistakes while making the application. This could lead to additional costs or even losing visa eligibility. Hence, these con agents should be identified and avoided, or even reported. Make Sure If Your Visa Agent Is Registered According to Indonesian law, all visa agents in the country are required to be registered. Always choose a visa counselor who is not only registered but also well-known in the country. Check the Visa Agent’s Experience and Qualifications It is strongly suggested that one conducts a background check on the agent’s expertise, qualifications, and reliability in handling relevant visas, whether it’s an individual visa consultant or a visa agency. Knowing how long they’ve been in business adds another layer of security to one’s application. Make Sure Service Charges and Involved Fees are Transparent A reputable visa agent should have established fees for various services that are both reasonable and transparent. These costs must sometimes be easily visible on their website so that one may get a sense of what the average prices are.
