Do Hungarian Tourists Need a Visa for Indonesia?
Yes, a visa is required for Hungarian citizens visiting Indonesia for tourism purposes.
Hungarian passport holders are eligible for the Visa on Arrival (VoA). However, to skip the queues at the airport and ensure a hassle-free entry, we strongly recommend applying for the Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) online before you travel from Hungary.

Travel Advice for Hungarian Citizens in Indonesia
Flights from Hungary
There are no direct flights from Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) to Indonesia. The most convenient routes involve a single stopover in major hubs such as Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines). Total travel time is typically between 15 to 20 hours.
Power Plugs: No Adapter Needed
Great news for Hungarian travellers! Indonesia uses Type C and Type F power sockets (two round pins), which are exactly the same as those used in Hungary and most of Europe. Your Hungarian devices will plug directly into Indonesian outlets without the need for an adapter.
Currency and Payments
The official currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is generally NOT accepted at money changers in Indonesia. We strongly advise you to bring Euros (EUR) or US Dollars (USD) in clean, crisp notes to exchange. Alternatively, you can use your bank card to withdraw IDR from ATMs, which are widely available.

Visiting Bali: Tourist Levy
If your itinerary includes Bali, please note that all international visitors must pay a local tourism fee.
The Bali Tourist Levy is IDR 150,000 (approx. €9 - €10 EUR). To avoid queues at Denpasar airport, it is highly recommended to pay this fee online via the official "Love Bali" website before your flight.
