Getting There — InLaLi

InLaLi will be held in Jakarta, the current capital of Indonesia. Jakarta is well served by many major airlines.

There are several options for getting from the airport to the center of town, including a new train, shuttles, and ample taxis. Blue Bird Group is slightly more expensive than other taxis, but has a good reputation. A taxi ride from the airport to Semanggi will cost about IDR 200,000 depending on traffic and weather.

Visa Information

The following information was compiled from various sources and is subject to change. Participants are encouraged to check with their nearest Indonesian embassy for the latest information relevant to their country of citizenship. One source is the website of the Indonesian Embassy in Australia.

Depending on your country of citizenship and the length of your planned stay, you may apply for a visa-free visit, visa-on-arrival, or several types of visas issued in advance at Indonesian missions abroad.

Please note:

  • Citizens of countries neither on the visa-free list nor on the visa-on-arrival list are required to apply for a visa overseas before travelling to Indonesia.
  • For a stay of more than 30 days, nationals of ALL countries must apply in advance for the appropriate visa (tourist, business, social-cultural, etc.) at an overseas Indonesian Consulate or Foreign Mission before departing for Indonesia.
  • In calculating your stay period, both day of entry and day of departure will be counted as full days by the Immigration Department.
  • On entering Indonesia, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
  • You may be required to show an outbound ticket and/or prove that you have sufficient funds for your stay (e.g. by showing a credit card or travellers’ checks).
  • Those who enter Indonesia with a visa-on-arrival may now extend their visa by an additional 30 days by taking their passport, the fee (perhaps around Rp350,000), and their outbound ticket to any Immigration Office (‘Kantor Imigrasi’). Only one extension per entry is allowed. Allow at least a week for processing. Note also that immigration officials may try to verify your address with a visit (“Survei di Lapangan”).
