It is never easy to plan a trip to a foreign
country. If you go to a new land without even the basic knowledge a lot of
things can go wrong. It is not just about the difference in culture, but also
the difference in laws. As a tourist you need to know all the important stuff.
To help you out here are some tips that will make your trip to Indonesia easy,
comfortable and enjoyable.
§ Like most of
the countries, when entering Indonesia your passport should be valid for at
least 6 months and should also have 6 blank pages. Along with that you need
tickets to prove your onward passage. After passport and tickets, the next
thing you need is visa. There are 12 countries for which a trip to Indonesia is
visa free. This means that the citizens of these countries can enter without
the need of a visa. Besides that there are 65 countries for which ‘visa on
arrival’ is possible. Citizens of the rest of the countries need to get a 30
day tourist visa from the local Indonesian embassy.
§ There are
many amazing cities in this country. You will need at least a month to visit
them all. If you do not have that much time, you should at least have a plan.
Make a list of all the cities you want to visit and plan what you will do
there. Search for things like tempat makan di Bandung and tempat nongkrong di Jogja
on the internet.
§ Indonesia has a vast range of
cuisines. If you are really interested in food, you should plan a wisata
kuliner. Try out all the cuisines this country has to offer. Just be
careful about your health while doing so.
§ It is always a good idea to have phone
number and address of your country’s embassy in Indonesia.
