can not be registered.

after the date booked for your departure from Indonesia.

"KEEP
IN MIND THAT ANY TYPE OF PORNOGRAPHY IS PROHIBITED IN INDONESIA
NOT TO MENTION NARCOTICS AND WEAPONS."
-IMPORTANT: "After
changes in the laws of Indonesia regarding ilegal drugs, the use
and possession of narcotics (even for minimun amounts) are considered
a great ofense and have high punishments related in the law books;
prove of that are the growing number of the contingent of foreigners
prisioners of the penitentiary system of the country.- Don't take
risks!!"
- Change as less money as possible in the airport as the exchange
rates are better in town.
-When leaving the terminal you will be surrounded by people trying
to rent you a transport. There are public telephones outside and
also taxis with negotiable prices. Bargaining is a must.
