Current Travel Situation
Croatia to Indonesia: What You Need to Know
Indonesia expanded its visa on arrival program to include citizens of Schengen Area member states, and Croatia qualifies following its Schengen accession in January 2023. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago nation, comprising over 17,000 islands. Bali, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Komodo Island are major destinations. The VoA can be extended once for an additional 30 days at an immigration office.
How to Get There
The B211A tourist visa is available as an advance e-visa alternative, processed online before travel. This can save time on arrival.
Money & Banking
Indonesia uses the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). ATMs are available at airports and throughout tourist areas. Carry some USD for initial expenses including the VoA fee.
Practical Tips
Prepare $35 USD in cash for the VoA fee. The VoA can be extended once for 30 more days at a local immigration office (total 60 days possible). Bali is the most popular destination; consider traveling during shoulder season (April-June, September-October) to avoid peak crowds. Download Grab or Gojek apps for local transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Croatian citizens need a visa to visit Indonesia?
Croatian citizens can obtain a visa on arrival (VoA) in Indonesia. Croatia's Schengen membership since January 2023 qualifies Croatian passports for Indonesia's VoA program. The fee is $35 USD for a 30-day stay.
How do I get a visa on arrival in Indonesia?
Upon arrival at a designated Indonesian airport (Ngurah Rai/Bali, Soekarno-Hatta/Jakarta, and other VoA-eligible ports), proceed to the Tempat Pemeriksaan Imigrasi (TPI) VoA desk before passport control. Pay $35 USD in cash and receive your VoA stamp.
Can the Indonesia visa on arrival be extended?
Yes. The VoA can be extended once for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) in Indonesia. The total maximum stay on a VoA is 60 days. Apply for the extension before the initial 30 days expire.
Is Bali the only destination in Indonesia worth visiting?
No. While Bali is the most famous destination, Indonesia has extraordinary diversity. Java (Borobudur UNESCO temple, Yogyakarta), Lombok, Komodo Island, Sulawesi, Raja Ampat (world-class diving), and Flores are all outstanding destinations.
What currency does Indonesia use?
Indonesia uses the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Denominations are large; a single euro is worth thousands of rupiah. ATMs are available in tourist areas. Carry USD cash as backup, particularly for the VoA fee and remote island travel.
What should Croatian visitors know about Bali customs?
Bali is predominantly Hindu within majority-Muslim Indonesia. Respect temple dress codes (sarong required at most temples). Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, brings the entire island to a standstill for 24 hours each year. Plan around this event.
Are there direct flights from Croatia to Indonesia?
No direct flights connect Croatia to Indonesia. Connections via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar), Singapore (Singapore Airlines), or Kuala Lumpur (AirAsia) serve Denpasar/Bali or Jakarta. Total journey time is typically 16-22 hours.
