Visa Requirements to Indonesia from Dubai

Citizens from UAE must obtain a visa prior to entering Indonesia. They are eligible for an on arrival visa. This allows them access to the region for a maximum time of up to thirty days. Non UAE passport holders residing in Dubai, depending on their nationality, need to get an e-visa, or can get a visa on arrival. Make sure to follow the guidelines prior to travel and ensure your passport has more than six months validity from the date of your stay.

When is the best time to visit Indonesia?

The dry season from May to September is a better time for tourists as Bali, Lombok, and the Gili Islands are splendid places to visit during this period. It allows for sun-bathing, swimming, and other outdoor activities. Even the wet season from October to April comes with its perks such as lesser crowding at tourist venues which is ideal for relaxation and cultural excursions in Ubud and Yogyakarta.

Best places to visit during Indonesia tour packages from Dubai

For a beach and culture combo, my top pick would be Bali due to the lavish beach hotels in Nusa Dua and cultural retreats in Ubud. If you are interested in business and city life, you would love Jakarta. For more tranquil settings, enjoy Yogyakarta’s rich history and the outdoor activities such as diving at Komodo Island. There are different types of lodgings from budget to five-star hotels on almost every island.
