Damn. That looks bad mate. I am really sorry to see that.
VW people will keep cars in there for a long time. I don't know why but that's how they are, even here in Trivandrum. It took them one month to replace the front bumper and left side headlight of a friend's Jetta here.
30k is a little steep but then if you opt for insurance, I think they will replace the door rather than denting and re-painting it. If it is only for denting and re-painting, 30k is too steep. Clarify that with the dealers. If the do not agree on replacing, get a quote from a local friendly neighbourhood garage who is known to do a good job.
I had a big dent on my rear door. VW quoted around Rs. 15k (if I remember right) and I got it done outside for Rs. 3500.

And when you look at the door now, you wouldn't know that it has been worked on.
