VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR INDONESIA

You can apply for a 30 day or a 60-day Tourist Visa or 60 day Social Budaya Visa at an Indonesian Embassy or Consulate before entering Indonesia. Prices and processing time differ quite a lot at the various embassies.

For example: the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur charge 170 Malaysian Ringgit (~40 €) for a 60-day visa and have it ready the next working day, if you are lucky, the same afternoon; at the Consulate in Penang apply before 12:00 and it is ready the next (working) day afternoon. Bring 2 passport photo's (red background), photo copies of return tickets to Indonesia and of financial credibility (like proof of 2000 US $ in traveler cheques or a copy of the two sides of your credit card, and if so, just black out your numbers to be on the safe side).

Embassies and consulates are open on working days from Monday to Friday. Closed on Public Holidays.

Make sure you dress properly: The embassy in KL annouces on their website www.kbrikualalumpur.org : " Visitors with short pants and/or sandals/slippers will not be permitted to enter Indonesian Embassy premises."
