15-16 August 2007
Facilities An overhead projector and a computer projector (for powerpoint presentations) will be available. Semarang does have many local photocopying facilities, however, we highly recommend that participants bring enough copies of their handouts with them, as those that are at the hotel are expensive, and others are rather far away. **Please email Thomas J. Conners <oranghutan AT cbn.net.id> as soon as possible if you have any other technical requests. Visas Citizens of many foreign countries require a visa to enter Indonesia; conference participants most commonly choose to enter with a tourist visa. For some nationalities, visas are available at the entry port to Indonesia, while for other nationalities, visas must be obtained in advance from an Indonesian consulate in another country. Participants are advised to check with their travel agent, or with a reliable website, such as that of the Indonesian Embassy in Australia. As of early 2007, the situation was roughly as follows. Nationalities not requiring a visa for Indonesia include Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Macao, Philippines and a few others. Nationalities requiring a visa obtainable on arrival include Australia, New Zealand, several major EU countries (recently revised to include also the Netherlands), USA, Canada. and Russia. Citizens of some unfortunate countries are required to obtain their visas in advance, before arriving in Indonesia. Basic tourist visas, as well as visa-free entry permits, are generally valid for a 30-day stay. It should be noted that visa-free and visa-upon-arrival facilities are restricted to specific ports of entry to Indonesia; otherwise you need to get a visa before leaving home.
