Current Travel Situation
Myanmar to Indonesia: What You Need to Know
Indonesia and Myanmar are both ASEAN members, and the visa-free arrangement reflects ASEAN solidarity. Indonesia has been active in ASEAN diplomacy regarding Myanmar's political situation, advocating the Five-Point Consensus, but this has not affected the bilateral travel arrangement. Myanmar citizens traveling to Indonesia for tourism or short visits do not need to apply for any visa in advance.
How to Get There
No direct flights currently operate between Myanmar and Indonesia. The most common route is Yangon (RGN) to Bali (DPS) via Singapore (SIN) on Scoot or Singapore Airlines, or via Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on AirAsia or Batik Air; total journey time around 6 to 9 hours. Yangon to Jakarta (CGK) follows similar connecting routes. Garuda Indonesia, Batik Air, Lion Air, and Citilink offer good onward connections from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
Money & Banking
Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The Rupiah is not easily obtainable outside Indonesia, so bring USD, THB, or SGD to exchange on arrival. Money changers in Bali (especially around Kuta and Seminyak) and at airports offer competitive rates. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas and accept international Visa and Mastercard. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants but carry cash for local markets and warungs (small local eateries). Bali has a tourism levy of 150,000 IDR (approximately $9 USD) payable online before arrival at lovebali.baliprov.go.id.
Practical Tips
Bali is the most popular destination for regional tourists. The dry season (April to October) is the best time to visit. When visiting Hindu temples in Bali, dress modestly and wear a sarong around the waist; these are often provided at temple entrances. Tap water is not safe to drink anywhere in Indonesia; buy bottled water. Ride-hailing apps Grab and Gojek work well across major cities. Bargaining is expected at traditional markets but not in fixed-price shops.
