Current Travel Situation
Romania to Indonesia: What You Need to Know
Indonesia does not offer visa-free access to Romanian citizens. However, Romania is on the list of nationalities eligible for visa on arrival (VoA) at Indonesian international airports and seaports. Bali is by far the most popular Indonesian destination for European tourists including Romanians, offering beaches, rice terraces, temples, and a vibrant wellness and yoga scene.
How to Get There
Indonesia combines naturally with Singapore (easy Changi connections), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), and Thailand. The overland and island-hopping Southeast Asia circuit is a classic backpacker route.
Money & Banking
Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Romania uses the Romanian Leu (RON). Exchange USD to IDR on arrival at licensed money changers (rates are often better than banks and better in Bali than at the airport). Revolut supports IDR. ATMs (BCA, Mandiri) are available in tourist areas. Cash is essential for local warungs, markets, and smaller businesses.
Practical Tips
Bali offers Ubud's rice terraces and monkey forest, Seminyak and Kuta beaches, Uluwatu temple, Tegallalang rice paddies, and excellent surf. Lombok and the Gili Islands are accessible by fast boat from Bali. Java offers Yogyakarta, Borobudur Buddhist temple (UNESCO), and Mount Bromo volcano. Indonesians are predominantly Muslim; dress modestly outside beach areas. Traffic in Bali can be heavy; renting a scooter is common but carry an international driving permit.
