Bali, Java, Kalimantan, Rinka - the names of these exotic islands are associated most of the tourists with compatriots with a rest in Indonesia. Washed by two oceans (Indian and Pacific), the largest island state in recent years is a popular tourist destination. Every year, numerous resorts in Indonesia attract millions of tourists, and the inhabitants of Russia among them are many. That is why many tourists are interested in the actual question, but do you need a visa to Indonesia, how and where to get it, so as not to spoil your impression of rest.
Visa application
It is worth noting that the visa for Indonesia for Russians can be implemented in two ways: at the embassy and on arrival. At the entrance to Indonesia, in addition to residents of Russia, citizens of Turkey, Canada, the USA, countries of the Schengen area , the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia can also obtain a visa right at the airport. Tourists who have the citizenship of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, visa registration in this republic should be carried out at the embassies. Citizens of those countries that are not listed in these lists must apply for visas to the visa departments.
If you decide to obtain a visa upon arrival in Indonesia, being a citizen of the Russian Federation, make sure that the validity of your passport is valid no less than six months in advance from the date of entry into the republic. In addition, a return ticket is required. So, the cost of a visa to Indonesia will be $ 25, but in the republic you can stay no more than thirty days. Please note, in the passport must be at least one blank sheet, so that it can be pasted on a special sticker.
Registration of this document in Russia will take longer. To obtain a visa, prepare in advance a passport , a copy of all its completed pages, two photos (color, 3x4). In the embassy, you fill out two forms. In addition, if you purchase tickets yourself, you should also provide them. If you are planning to travel to these exotic lands with your children, then take with them copies of their birth certificates. If the child is not yet nine years old, he is entered in the parent's passport, then a visa is issued for him free of charge. Children over the age of nine will be worth as much as their parents. Such a visa will cost about $ 60, but will give it to you if the outcome is successful in a week.
Arriving at the Indonesian airport, you will be asked to fill out an immigration card. It should be stored until departure from Indonesia. In addition, both at the entrance and at the exit from the republic it is necessary to pay a fee, which is equal to 10 dollars.
Features and limitations
Having issued a visa, in Indonesia you can not only stay up to 30 days, but also rent a different transport, acquire land and real estate. If you do not have the right to drive a bike, then for 12-15 dollars you can buy a license that will be valid for 30 days. A common opinion is that in Denpasar (the main Indonesian airport), Russian citizens are forced to show their armor
As for the restrictions, in Indonesia you can import no more than two liters of some alcohol, two hundred cigarettes and several perfume bottles for personal use. But electronics, prints and medicines of Chinese origin, pornographic products, explosives and weapons are forbidden to import! To export from the republic representatives of rare species of fauna and flora - a taboo! A similar ban applies to the export of turtle shells. Do not even try, because the penalty is big enough. But souvenir products are exported without any restrictions.
