Indonesia Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Visa is usually required for staying in Indonesia. Most travelers can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for up to 30 days. This is available at major international airports and some border crossings. To apply for it directly, you need a valid passport and a return ticket. For longer stays, you should obtain a visa online in advance.
The Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali is the best airport for international travel. From here, you can easily reach the main islands, while the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Jakarta is also very good for international flights. Both airports offer fast connections to local transport options that are great for off-road adventures.
The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Cash is predominant, especially in rural areas. Credit cards are often accepted in cities, but should not be relied upon during off-road trips. Bring enough cash to cover unexpected expenses, and use ATMs in larger cities for withdrawals.
Travel insurance is advisable, as medical care can vary. Vaccinations, e.g. against hepatitis A and typhus, are recommended. In certain regions, malaria prophylaxis is also important. A travel first aid kit with appropriate medications is also useful. Before traveling, ask your doctor for recommendations.
An international driving license is necessary to rent a car or motorcycle in Indonesia. Be aware that road conditions in rural areas can be challenging. Carefully check the rental terms and insurance policies to avoid unsafe situations. Always carry identification with you.
SIM cards for mobile phones are available at airports and in shops geared towards visitors. Providers such as XL Axiata or Telkomsel offer good coverage for off-road travel. A travel package is often cheaper. Bring your passport to complete the registration. Test the connection right after purchase.
