Travel Guide
A free 30-day visa is granted upon arrival at any Indonesian international airport to citizens of most countries. Travelers can also apply for a 30-day tourist visa (EUR/USD), which can be extended once in Indonesia for an additional 30 days. If you are unable to obtain a 60-day visa on arrival, please contact the Indonesian embassy or consulate in your country for assistance. Important: Please ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from your planned date of entry into Indonesia. This is a mandatory requirement for visa issuance.
Each traveler is allowed to bring up to 1 liter of alcohol into Indonesia. It is also worth noting that cigarettes are significantly cheaper in Indonesia, with an average price of around 30,000 IDR per pack. It is strictly prohibited for travelers to bring illegal drugs into the country. Indonesia enforces severe penalties, including the death penalty, for drug trafficking and possession. The import of weapons and pornographic materials is also strictly prohibited under Indonesian law.
Eating in Indonesia can be very affordable. A meal at a local restaurant serving traditional Indonesian cuisine can cost as little as 3 USD per person, excluding drinks. For international visitors or in hotels, meal prices generally range from 5 to 15 USD per person. Please note that alcoholic beverages are relatively expensive compared to local food and non-alcoholic drinks, especially in tourist areas and licensed establishments.
Over the past decade, the price gap between Indonesia and Europe has decreased significantly. However, Bali and Indonesia remain an affordable destination, especially for those embracing a local lifestyle. That said, most tourists, even the more adventurous, tend to spend more, often guided by expectations of comfort and hygiene standards. It is important to note that the availability of budget accommodations has decreased in recent years, particularly in Bali and the Gili Islands. Additionally, some recreational activities, such as diving and white-water rafting, are offered at prices similar to those in Western countries. Price examples: Pack of cigarettes: 30,000 IDR Soap: 8,000 IDR Local beer (0.7 l): 35,000 IDR Beach sarong: 50,000 IDR
