TL;DR
Disable VPN when using the Indonesia e-visa website, and manually verify the passport issue date field — the system may auto-fill today's date instead of the correct one.
Whether Bali accepts older-format passports remains unclear — official sources and AI assistants give conflicting answers. Best to confirm directly with the consulate or recent travelers.
When filling out the visa application form, manually check the passport issue date field — the system may auto-populate today's date instead of the actual issue date. Leaving this incorrect can result in visa rejection or having to reapply.
The Indonesia visa website only works properly without a VPN. With VPN enabled, document uploads hang indefinitely. Disable VPN completely before accessing the site and uploading passport scans.
If passport scans won't upload and the process is stuck, the likely cause is an active VPN. Try disabling it and restarting the upload.
