GOOD TO KNOW

Before you take off

Which rules apply to French passport holders visiting Indonesia?

Read the visa requirements and their exemptions together. These results use your passport nationality; residence permits, other visas, transit and the purpose of your visit can change the applicable conditions. Add residence and transit in the checker when relevant.

Does a flight reservation replace a visa or a paid flight ticket?

No. Safeonward provides temporary flight reservations. A reservation does not give permission to travel on the flight and does not replace a visa. Check whether your airline or consulate accepts a reservation or requires a fully paid ticket before ordering.

Where should I confirm the requirements before departure?

Use the official source linked in this guide and check with your operating airline. The detailed rules are retrieved from the Emirates travel requirements service and may be cached for up to two hours.
