There are different points of entry into Indonesia where visa free entry is facilitated. If you are coming from Kuching, Sarawak, then Pontianak( Supadio International Airport ) would be your point of entry to Indonesia. |
Direct flights from Pontianak( Supadio airport ) to Palangkaraya( Tjilik Riwut airport ) are limited so check airline schedules carefully to allow yourself adequate time to clear immigrations before boarding your flight to Palangkaraya.
An alternate visa free entry point is of course Jakarta airport, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Direct flights from Jakarta to Palangkaraya are available. We strongly recommend you check Garuda Airlines for flights available. If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to email us.
