Visa

To enter Jakarta, Indonesia, you may need a visa, depending on your nationality. Several visa options exist, including the Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA), which can be applied for online before arrival, and other visa types for longer stays or specific purposes. For more information regarding visa requirements, please visit the following link.

Weather

Jakarta experiences consistently high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, with occasional afternoon showers even during the dry season. We recommend wearing lightweight, breathable attire and staying well-hydrated at all times. A compact umbrella or rain jacket may also be useful. Additionally, as indoor venues such as hotels, shopping centers, and conference facilities are typically air-conditioned at low temperatures, bringing a light jacket or sweater is advisable for your comfort.

Traffic Advisory

Severe traffic congestion is a daily occurrence in Jakarta, particularly during peak hours. We strongly recommend allowing ample travel time when commuting to meetings, events, or scheduled engagements. Delays are often unpredictable, and failure to plan accordingly may result in missed appointments or key sessions. For reliable and convenient ransportation, travelers are advised to use Grab or Bluebird Group taxis (including Bluebird and Silverbird), both of which are widely available and trusted in Jakarta.
