Overview

Explore Indonesia...​ 

Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands in Southeast Asia. It is known for its diverse cultures, active volcanoes, and rich biodiversity.

Fun Fact: Indonesia is home to the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon. It can grow up to 3 metres long and weigh 68kg. With venomous bites and a carnivorous diet, they can hunt prey much larger than themselves, but these fascinating and fearsome creatures are only found on five islands within Indonesia.

Indonesian Rupiah

The currency used in Indonesia is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR), which was introduced on August 17, 1945, the same day it declared its independence. 

Asia

Asia is the largest and most populous continent, covering about 30% of the Earth’s land area and home to more than 4.7 billion people, roughly 60% of the global population. It is traditionally divided into several regions, each with distinct cultures, languages, and historical influences. Known for its vast diversity, Asia is home to major world economies like China, India, and Japan, as well as iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Arabian Desert, while also being a centre of innovation, rich traditions, and some of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth.

Visa Guidelines

To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Indonesia.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip!

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.

Passport Validity (Minimum):

  • 6 months after entry into Indonesia

UAE Residency Validity (Minimum):

  • 3 months after expected return to UAE

Parent/Guardian NOC:

  • Required

School/College NOC:

  • Required

Almost all nationalities will be required to apply for a visa to enter Indonesia. To confirm the entry requirements for your child, please click here.

Note: As your child will be travelling as part of a school trip, please select their nationality first, then choose 'General, Family, or Social,' followed by 'Tourism, Family Visit, or Transit' to view the available options.

We recommend that all minors travelling internationally, without a parent or guardian, carry both a signed parental NOC and a school NOC with them. Samples of each are provided below. This can help to mitigate any potential issues at border control and streamline the immigration process.
