Worth knowing
Komodo Park: Daily Visitor Cap
Since 1 April 2026 Komodo National Park admits about 1,000 visitors a day across Padar, Rinca, Komodo and the dive sites, booked in advance through the park's SiOra system (tour operators do it for you). There are no walk-in tickets, so book your boat and park day before you fly, especially for July to September and December. Park entry is about IDR 150,000 on weekdays plus a IDR 100,000 conservation fee; more on Sundays and holidays.
Heads up
Flores Volcano Ash and Flights
Eruptions of Lewotobi Laki-laki in east Flores cancelled dozens of Bali and Labuan Bajo flights in November 2024 and June-July 2025. No eruption was reported in 2026 up to October, but buy travel insurance that covers volcanic ash and keep a day spare.

Entry rules
Visa on arrival for up to 30 days, about ₹2,650
- Before you fly, buy the e-VOA (visa on arrival) at evisa.imigrasi.go.id: IDR 500,000, about ₹2,700, valid for 30 days. You can also pay at the visa-on-arrival counter in Bali or Jakarta, but the queue is long.
- Within 3 days before landing, fill in the free All Indonesia arrival card at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id. It replaces the old customs (e-CD) and health forms. Save the QR code. Do one card per traveller.
- Going to Bali, Nusa Penida or Lembongan: pay the IDR 150,000 (about ₹810) Bali tourist levy per person at lovebali.baliprov.go.id and keep the QR voucher. It is checked at the airport and at some attractions.
- To stay longer than 30 days, extend once by 30 days (IDR 500,000) on the same portal before the visa expires. The first extension may need a visit to an immigration office.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive, with blank pages; Confirmed return or onward ticket out of Indonesia; e-VOA approval (printout or PDF), or a card or cash for the visa on arrival; All Indonesia arrival card QR code; Love Bali levy QR voucher, for Bali; Hotel bookings for the stay.
India is not on Indonesia's visa-free list, so you need the visa on arrival or e-VOA. India was proposed for visa-free entry in June 2026 but left off the July 2026 list. Indonesia proposed in August 2026 raising the fee to IDR 750,000 online and IDR 1,000,000 at the counter; as of October 2026 it is still IDR 500,000 with no start date, so check evisa.imigrasi.go.id before paying. Use only the .go.id sites: look-alike sites charge extra for the e-VOA, the arrival card and the Bali levy.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
