The spirit of travel

Enjoy a relaxing stay "feet in the water" on the edge of Mandeh Bay, located approximately 2 hours' drive south of Padang.

Nicknamed the "Raja Ampat" of Sumatra, the Mandeh region is sublime, with beaches, paradisiacal islands of white sand framed by the Bukit Barisan mountain chain, its rice fields, and its tropical forest where you can still encounter gibbons in the wild, red langurs, deer and other species.

Comfortably installed in well-appointed rooms of a charming hotel, which offers lovely beachfront bungalows (with "feet in the water" suites), you will surely be in paradise.

Cubadak Island welcomes you and will delight you with its charm and white sand beaches. Diving, snorkelling or underwater snorkelling, you will be able to explore in particular a very beautiful coral reef, which is located right in front of the beach. Abundant and varied marine fauna awaits you there. Also possible to do marine trekking by canoe for the more experienced.

Les informations ci-dessous concernent les voyageurs ressortissants de l'Espace économique européen (EEE), de la Suisse et du Canada se rendant en Indonésie dans le cadre d'un séjour touristique. Les règles d'entrée pouvant évoluer, nous vous recommandons de vérifier les informations auprès des autorités officielles avant votre départ.

Passeport

Pour entrer en Indonésie, votre passeport doit être valide au minimum six mois après la date d'entrée dans le pays et comporter au moins deux pages vierges pour les tampons d'immigration.
Le document doit être en bon état (pas de pages détériorées, déchirées ou modifiées).

Visa : e-VOA obligatoire

Les ressortissants de l'Espace économique européen, de la Suisse et du Canada ne bénéficient pas d'une exemption de visa : un visa touristique payant est obligatoire. Nous vous conseillons de le demander en ligne avant le départ (e-VOA) sur le seul portail officiel evisa.imigrasi.go.id ; il peut aussi s'acheter à l'arrivée (Visa on Arrival).

À ce jour, il coûte 500 000 IDR (environ 25 €) et permet un séjour de 30 jours, prolongeable une fois de 30 jours sur place (60 jours au maximum). Il doit être utilisé dans les 90 jours suivant son émission. Une hausse du tarif a été annoncée sans date d'entrée en vigueur : vérifiez le montant avant votre départ.

Les autorités peuvent également demander :

  • un billet de sortie du territoire (vol retour ou continuation),

  • une preuve de ressources financières suffisantes pour la durée du séjour.

Formalités à l'arrivée

Avant votre arrivée, remplissez la carte d'arrivée All Indonesia, obligatoire pour toute arrivée internationale : elle remplace la carte papier, la déclaration de douane (ancienne e-CD) et la déclaration de santé. Elle est gratuite et se remplit jusqu'à 3 jours avant l'arrivée sur le portail officiel allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id (méfiez-vous des sites payants).

Ce formulaire permet de transmettre aux autorités certaines informations nécessaires à l'entrée sur le territoire :

  • informations du passeport

  • détails du vol et itinéraire

  • adresse du premier hébergement en Indonésie

  • déclaration des biens et devises transportés

Un QR code de confirmation pourra être demandé lors du passage aux contrôles douaniers et à l'immigration.

Santé et vaccinations

Aucun vaccin n'est obligatoire pour entrer en Indonésie depuis l'EEE, la Suisse ou le Canada, sauf en cas de transit par un pays à risque de fièvre jaune, auquel cas un certificat de vaccination international peut être exigé.

À titre préventif, il est toutefois recommandé de consulter un médecin ou un centre de vaccination avant le départ. Les vaccinations contre l'hépatite A, l'hépatite B, la typhoïde et la rage sont couramment conseillées pour les séjours en Indonésie. Un traitement antipaludéen peut également être recommandé selon les régions visitées (notamment en dehors de Bali et des grandes villes).

Voyage avec des enfants

Les mineurs doivent être titulaires de leur propre passeport valide couvrant la durée du séjour.

Dans certains pays européens, lorsqu'un mineur voyage sans l'un de ses parents, une autorisation de sortie du territoire peut être exigée selon la réglementation du pays de résidence.

Autres nationalités

Les conditions d'entrée peuvent varier selon la nationalité. Les voyageurs concernés doivent se renseigner auprès de l'ambassade ou du consulat d'Indonésie de leur pays de résidence.
