Mobility

Q. How should I do to plan my flight to Yogyakarta?

NOTES:

At the Airport’s Immigration desk when entering Indonesia, you must present your Visit Visa Index C9 since you are participating in the Summer School.

If you plan to have a vacation in Indonesia before the Summer School is held, to avoid the risk of deportation and the uncertainty of visa approval from the Immigration authority, there will be several options to be chosen:

  1. If you haven’t received your Visit Visa Index C9 in your vacation period, you can pass the Immigration check with an ASEAN citizen visa exemption or Visa on Arrival for your vacation solely. Hence, you need to leave Indonesian territory to enter another country/or your home country first, and then get back to Indonesian territory to join Summer School by showing your Visit Visa Index C9; or
  2. If you have received your Visit Visa Index C9, you can have a vacation as your first agenda in Indonesia by showing that visa in the Immigration check, and after that, you must consecutively join the Summer School at UGM, without exiting Indonesian territory to enter another country (as the Visit Visa Index C9 is a single-entry type visa); or
  3. Reschedule your vacation after the Summer School concludes, as the Visit Visa Index C9 stay period spans 60 days starting from your arrival date in Indonesia. </aside>

Q. Can we make a payment in Singaporean Dollars or US Dollars in Indonesia?

No, you cannot. The law regulates that all transactions in Indonesia must be done in Indonesian Rupiah.

You can bring an Indonesian Rupiah in cash by obtaining it in money changers or withdraw it from an ATM (with payment card brands such as Cirrus, Visa, JCB, Union Pay, Plus, American Express, Discover, and Maestro).

You can also use your Singaporean bank app to do QR code payments in Indonesia.
