Online registration for the conference is open. You need to complete the registration so our event organizers could include your name in our conference participants list, work on your immigration documents, prepare your conference ID’s, T-shirts and conference materials, meals, and snacks and many more action points to ensure that your flight and participation in our conference will be worry free and seamless.

3. INDONESIA ENTRY VISA

There is no need for an Entry Visa for a Filipino to enter INDONESIA. All you need to present to the INDONESIAN airport authorities are your passport, a return ticket and if asked, purpose of visit and proof of accommodation during your stay in the country (to be provided by our office).  Please double check your passports expiration date. The Philippine immigration officers won’t allow you to leave the country if your travel date falls within 6 months prior to expiration. If you are Philippine born but holding a non-Philippines passport, you must check with the INDONESIAN embassy for their visa requirements for citizens of the country shown on your passport. For other nationalities who need to apply for entry visa to Indonesia, our office will provide the necessary documents – invitation to the conference, status as IT missionary or trainee, etc.

4. AIRLINE TICKETS

You may directly book your flights at your desired airlines or the travel agency of your choice. 

Please take advantage of the prevailing low airline rates. As of this writing, the cost of round-trip ticket is much lower than a plane trip to Davao, Palawan, Ilocos Norte, and other provinces in our country. The rates may not hold for long so don’t wait for the price to go down. The possibility is far more in favor of costs going up.

10. CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS

All ITP missionaries, alumni and partners are invited to the conference. If you would like to invite your friends or relatives to the conference, we would require that they be of the same faith. The conference is not an evangelistic gathering, and the topics will not suit those coming from a different religious background.

They will be classified as SPECIAL GUESTS.

11. ACCOMODATIONS

We are compiling a list of accommodation options which will be posted on the next Info Pack. There are hotels offering dormitory type rooms and backpackers hotel that will be included in the list. We are also looking for possible hosting groups that could accommodate for free some of our least funded members.

12. PRE-DEPARTURE BRIEFINGS

Our office will provide an important pre-departure briefing/meeting to be handled by our office support staffs, a few days before your departure. The objective is to prepare all of you for your airport immigration encounter – both here and in Indonesia. We want to make sure that all bases are covered well before sending you out to Indonesia. You will be provided with all the required departure documents to include ITP documents stating the nature of the event, conference program, and accommodation guarantee, etc.

13. TRAVEL CLEARANCE

The Philippine government requires all government employees to first secure clearance before they are allowed to travel outside of the country. If you are a government employee and could not present the document upon the demand of our airport immigration authority, you will be denied boarding. Please make sure you secure one as early as possible. We have missionaries in the past who were not allowed to board because of their failure to attend to this important requirement. Our office will issue the needed certification explaining the reason for your trip to Bali, Indonesia.

14. VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER INDONESIA

Q: I am not vaccinated. Can I come to Indonesia ?

A. The Indonesian government has lifted the vaccination requirements for all incoming travelers. Just like in any airport, there will be temperature checks upon arrival (you would not even notice it. They have scanners pointed at all arriving passengers that would indicate the temperature level of all individuals) Those found with feverish symptoms will be referred to their department of health for further handling.

15. PRAYERS AND INTERCESSION

Please always include the conference and the organizing staffs in your prayers. Pray also for GOD’s provision for all those who will be attending the conference. Pray for the 8th CUTTING EDGE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2025 and ACCESS 2 MISSION TRAINING in BALI to be fruitful and successful.

Looking forward to walking the streets of BALI with you.

ALL FOR GOD’S HONOR AND GLORY!!!
