This page covers a direct flight to Indonesia. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
You're travelling to Indonesia (ID). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Indonesia: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-04-30). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
Your itinerary touches Uganda (UG) and Indonesia (ID), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.

Indonesia (ID) restricts or bans the import of: codeine, morphine, some psychiatric medications, CBD products. The risk is real — travellers have been detained at customs for over-the-counter products that are routine elsewhere. If you take any prescription medication, look up the active ingredient against the restricted list above before booking. Always carry the prescription bottle plus a doctor's letter naming the medication and the condition it treats. Adding your medications to your profile (optional) lets us tell you specifically which of yours match. Indonesia has strict drug laws; carry prescription + doctor's letter.
Indonesia requires proof you'll leave before they let you in. At check-in the airline often asks for this — without it, they can deny boarding because the carrier becomes liable for flying you back. Easiest fixes, in order: (1) book a refundable return or onward flight, (2) use a one-way bus / train ticket out, or (3) buy a temporary onward-ticket reservation through a service like OnwardTicket. Have whichever you choose printed or on your phone before you reach the counter.
Indonesia (ID)'s immigration officers can ask arriving visitors to show they have enough money for the stay — some travellers are never asked, others are pulled aside at the same border on the same day, so plan as if you will be. Approximately $30/day per person. Accepted: Cash or bank statement. Indonesia may request proof of sufficient funds Have a recent bank statement, a credit card with available limit, or a sponsor letter ready — the goal is to have a documented answer the officer can check in 30 seconds, not a debate.
Your Uganda (UG) passport requires an e-Visa for Indonesia. e-Visas need an online application, may require supporting documents (photos, itinerary, hotel bookings), and have processing windows from same-day to two weeks. Apply before booking the flight. Source: Wikipedia visa matrix, synced 2026-07-12T08:42:48.605925+00:00.
Because you're flying in from Uganda (UG), Indonesia (ID)'s entry rules require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. The standard document is the yellow WHO Yellow Card (ICVP) signed by the clinic that vaccinated you. If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons a physician-signed exemption letter is the alternative — both check-in agents and border officers vary in how strictly they accept exemptions, so plan for the strictest reading. Add your YF status to your profile for guidance specific to your situation.
