Visa
- Please consult with the Indonesian Consulate in your country/region to find out whether you need a visa to visit Indonesia. For example, if you are based in the U.S., please check visa requirements at Travel.State.Gov.
- Plan your air travel sooner rather than later, especially if your itinerary includes a stopover in a country where a transit visa is required. For example, if your flights include a transfer in the U.S., you may need to obtain an ESTA (https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta) or a transit visa (before you travel) in order to complete your journey to Indonesia. Please consult with your air ticketing agency and the consulates of the countries you will transit through for the latest requirement.
