Primera vez en Indonesia: lo que debe dejar resuelto antes de un viaje en barco por Komodo
Actualizado 10 octubre 2026
La mayoría de los visitantes necesita un visado de 30 días, un pasaporte con seis meses de validez, un billete de salida y la tarjeta de llegada All Indonesia, que es gratuita. A Labuan Bajo se vuela vía Bali o Yakarta; conviene llevar rupias en efectivo y hacerse a la idea de que en el mar la conexión será escasa. Cada tabla de abajo indica qué datos están comprobados y cuáles debe verificar antes de viajar.
Entrada: visado, pasaporte y tarjeta de llegada
Empiece por el pasaporte. Tiene que tener seis meses de validez a partir del día en que aterrice y dos páginas en blanco, y en el control piden un billete de salida o de vuelta, así que téngalo a mano.
Los ciudadanos de 97 países pueden comprar a la llegada un visado de 30 días, o tramitar ese mismo visado en línea, como e-VoA, antes de volar. El e-VoA tiene que estar aprobado antes de aterrizar. Use solo el portal oficial de inmigración, porque las agencias intermediarias cobran su propia comisión. La tarjeta de llegada All Indonesia, gratuita, se rellena en las 72 horas anteriores a la llegada. Si pasa por Bali, los visitantes extranjeros pagan además una tasa turística aparte, que también figura en la tabla.
Pendiente de verificar antes de viajar: el precio del visado. La tabla muestra la cifra que pudimos confirmar. En agosto de 2026 se anunció una subida, pero no encontramos ni fecha de entrada en vigor ni norma publicada, así que no damos la nueva cifra por buena. Consulte el portal la misma semana del vuelo. Según el anuncio, tramitarlo en línea con antelación saldría más barato que pagarlo a la llegada.
Somos una oficina de chárter, no de inmigración. Para su nacionalidad, manda la lista oficial, no esta página. Consúltela y luego reserve los vuelos.
| Visa on Arrival (VoA) is open to nationals of 97 listed countries; other nationalities must obtain a visa in advance through evisa.imigrasi.go.id | 97 countries (incl. most of Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, UK, Japan, South Korea, China, India, Gulf states) Regional immigration office page (updated 4 Nov 2025) says 97 countries; detik (24 Jan 2026, citing Ditjen Imigrasi) gives the same count and a country list. Show the official list link rather than reproducing it: https://www.imigrasi.go.id/wna/daftar-negara-voa-bvk-calling-visa (page would not load here). Permitted purposes: tourism, family visit, some business talks, government duties, purchase of goods, transit. Not suitable for volunteering, influencer/commercial content (gov.uk). ↗ |
|---|---|
| e-VoA is the same 30-day visa applied for online before travel (evisa.imigrasi.go.id); must be approved before arrival and then used within 90 days | Apply online; pay by Visa/Mastercard/JCB; e-VoA approval valid 90 days to enter 90-day entry window and card payment from travel2flores (updated 9 Oct 2026) and WeRoad (updated 19 May 2026). gov.uk confirms online application and that approval after entry is not valid. Warn travellers to use only evisa.imigrasi.go.id: third-party agents charge extra. ↗ |
| VoA / e-VoA price | IDR 500,000 per person (children pay the same) gov.uk page (last updated 7 Oct 2026) still states 500,000, payable cash or card on arrival. See voa_price_change: an increase was announced on 12 Aug 2026 but no effective date was found, so show 'IDR 500,000 (check current fee before you fly)'. Online card payment may add a small bank surcharge (travel2flores quotes IDR 519,500 for e-VoA by card). ↗ |
| Announced VoA fee increase: e-VoA IDR 750,000 and on-arrival VoA IDR 1,000,000 | Announced 12 Aug 2026 by Director General of Immigration Hendarsam Marantoko; NO effective date found; not confirmed in force Reporting conflicts: CNN Indonesia (13 Aug 2026) says 'bakal menaikkan' (will raise, not yet in force); Antara and RRI use present tense. Visasnews/Gebrak say the official portal still showed 500,000. No PP/regulation number found. Re-check evisa.imigrasi.go.id before publishing and consider wording like 'fee is IDR 500,000 and may rise - apply for e-VoA online in advance'. The announced logic: booking e-VoA online beforehand is cheaper than buying on arrival. sin verificar — confirme antes de viajar ↗ |
| VoA allows a single-entry stay of up to 30 days from arrival date | 30 days, single entry Also JOGJA regional immigration page and State Dept. ↗ |
| VoA can be extended once by 30 days (max 60 days total); extend before the first 30 days end | +30 days once; fee IDR 500,000; apply at an immigration office, at least ~7 days before expiry Online extension possible if you applied online (gov.uk). travel2flores (9 Oct 2026) says since 1 June 2025 a visit to the immigration office for fingerprints is needed, otherwise the extension may be refused: medium. Overstay fine IDR 1,000,000 per day (gov.uk, State Dept); over 60 days can mean detention, deportation, ban. ↗ |
| Visa-free entry (30 days, not extendable) for citizens of ASEAN countries | Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam travel2flores (updated 9 Oct 2026) and WeRoad (19 May 2026) agree. The old 169-country visa-free scheme was suspended in 2020 (Antara/Kontan). The official BVK list page (imigrasi.go.id) would not load: confirm before publishing. ↗ |
| WeRoad lists additional visa-free partner countries (Suriname, Hong Kong, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Turkiye) | Unverified Single commercial source, not confirmed by any government page found. Do not publish without checking imigrasi.go.id. sin verificar — confirme antes de viajar ↗ |
| Passport must be valid at least 6 months after arrival date and have at least 2 blank pages | 6 months validity, 2 blank pages State Dept says the same ('6 months validity beyond your arrival date'). ↗ |
| Proof of onward or return travel is required to get a VoA | Return/onward ticket ↗ |
| All Indonesia digital arrival card (immigration + customs + health declaration) is required before arrival; it is free | Fill in within 72 hours before arrival at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id (or app) Mandatory at all international airports since 1 Oct 2025 (Wego, updated 8 Jun 2026). Third-party sites may charge: official one is free. Carry the QR code. ↗ |
| Komodo Airport (LBJ) is listed as an airport that handles VoA | Yes (per travel2flores) Page advises checking that international flights are operating. Most visitors clear immigration at DPS/CGK/SUB and arrive in Labuan Bajo on a domestic flight. ↗ |
| If arriving via Bali: separate Bali tourist levy for foreign visitors, not included in the visa fee | IDR 150,000 per person (pay at lovebali.baliprov.go.id) Relevant because DPS is the main gateway to Labuan Bajo. Does not apply if you only transit airside; check Love Bali rules. ↗ |
Vuelos a Labuan Bajo, y los diez minutos hasta el puerto
El aeropuerto de Komodo (LBJ) está a dos o tres kilómetros del pueblo, a unos diez minutos en coche de la marina. La mayoría de los viajeros hace escala en Bali, Yakarta o Surabaya. De Bali a Labuan Bajo hay más o menos una hora y diez minutos de vuelo; desde Yakarta, entre dos horas y media y tres. Hay pocos vuelos internacionales directos, así que cuente con un tramo nacional.
Las aerolíneas y los horarios de la tabla son rutas que hemos visto operar y tiempos de vuelo aproximados, no un calendario garantizado. Los horarios cambian, así que compruébelos el día que compre los billetes.
Nuestra regla: aterrizar el día antes. La recogida, gratuita, es a las 09:30 de la mañana de la salida, en su hotel o en el aeropuerto, y un vuelo con retraso es la causa más habitual de perderla. En un 3D2N, Vinca vuelve a atracar en Labuan Bajo entre las 11:00 y las 12:00 del último día, así que reserve el vuelo de vuelta para después de las 14:00. Si solo puede llegar esa misma mañana, mande a la oficina su número de vuelo y le diremos con franqueza si llega a las 09:30. En la página de hoteles verá dónde dormir cerca del puerto.

| Most travellers connect through Bali (DPS), Jakarta (CGK) or Surabaya (SUB); Lombok (LOP) and Kupang (KOE) are smaller feeders | DPS, CGK, SUB DPS is the main international gateway connection. Dive Tribe lists SUB as seasonal (about daily April-October). Check schedules: they change. ↗ |
| Typical direct flight times to LBJ | DPS ~1 h 10 min to 1 h 20 min; SUB ~1 h 30 min; CGK ~2 h 30 min to 3 h; LOP ~1 h Operator pages (komodoresort says DPS about 1 h). Times are block-time estimates. ↗ |

Dive Tribe also lists Lion Air on DPS/CGK: low. ↗ |
| Direct international flights are limited | Kuala Lumpur (AirAsia) confirmed; Singapore (Scoot, ~2x weekly) reported by one operator only airportroutes shows KUL only. Dive Tribe says Scoot SIN Thu/Sun and AirAsia KUL Thu/Sat, and notes Jetstar Asia (SIN) launched Mar 2025 then shut.

| Airport to town distance and time | about 2-3 km; roughly 10 minutes by car to the harbour/marina area Wikipedia: 3 km from centre; komodoresort: 2 km and harbour about 10 minutes. Airport taxi counter fixed price about IDR 50,000 to most town addresses (Dive Tribe, low); arrange hotel/boat pickup in advance. ↗ |
Dinero, teléfono, electricidad y agua
Lo práctico es llevar rupias en efectivo. Hay cajeros a lo largo de la carretera del puerto y en el aeropuerto, pero ninguno en las islas ni en el parque, así que saque dinero antes de embarcar. Las tarjetas se aceptan en hoteles y restaurantes grandes, a menudo con recargo. Los warung, los taxis y las tiendas pequeñas cobran en efectivo. En la tabla verá los límites y comisiones habituales de los cajeros.
La propina se agradece, pero es opcional. Los guías locales dan cifras distintas, así que la tabla muestra márgenes. Dé la propina al final del viaje, en billetes en buen estado.
Todas las tarjetas SIM se registran con el pasaporte. Telkomsel tiene la mejor cobertura en la zona de Labuan Bajo, y una eSIM instalada antes de volar se activa al aterrizar. Navegando con Vinca, la señal y el wifi local de a bordo solo funcionan cerca de Labuan Bajo y a ratos entre islas, así que cuente con estar casi siempre desconectado. La corriente es de 230 V, con enchufes de dos clavijas redondas, y hay más cortes de luz que en Bali: un teléfono que deja cargando por la noche puede amanecer a medias. Lleve una batería externa. El agua del grifo no es potable; beba agua embotellada.
| Currency is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR) | About IDR 16,000-16,500 per USD and 17,500-18,000 per EUR (mid-2026) Exchange rates move: do not hard-code. Rupiah is the only practical currency in Labuan Bajo (Dive Tribe). ↗ |
|---|---|
| ATMs: BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI along Jl. Soekarno-Hatta near the harbour and at Komodo Airport arrivals; none inside the national park or on the islands | Available in town; take cash before boarding Airport has only 1-2 machines and sometimes one working (Dive Tribe). BCA/Mandiri most reliable with foreign cards; BRI sometimes restrictive. ↗ |
| Typical ATM single-withdrawal limit | IDR 1,250,000-3,000,000 per transaction; ATM operator fee about IDR 25,000-50,000 plus your home-bank fees Newer BCA/Mandiri up to IDR 3 million. Daily limit set by your home bank. Decline dynamic currency conversion. ↗ |
| Cards are accepted at hotels, dive operators, boat charters and larger restaurants (often with a 2-4% surcharge); warungs, markets, taxis and small shops are cash/QRIS only | Carry cash QRIS generally needs an Indonesian account or local e-wallet. travel2flores (9 Oct 2026) says cards are unreliable across Flores generally. Suggested cash for a boat day: IDR 300,000-500,000 per person; multi-day: IDR 1-2 million in small notes (komodoresort, July 2026). ↗ |
| Tipping is appreciated, not compulsory. Check whether a service charge is already added | Restaurants 5-10% if no service charge; boat crew IDR 50,000-100,000 per guest per day (liveaboard crew box about 5-10% of trip price); rangers/trek guides IDR 50,000-100,000 per group (komodoresort) to IDR 100,000-300,000 (Dive Tribe); dive guides IDR 50,000-300,000 per day; porters IDR 10,000-20,000 per bag Two operator guides give overlapping but different ranges: present as ranges, in cash, in clean notes. ↗ |
| All SIM cards must be registered; foreigners register with a passport | Passport required; max 3 prepaid numbers per identity per operator Komdigi Ministerial Regulation No. 7 of 2026 (reported 27 Jan 2026); foreigners present passport/KITAS under Article 6. Telkomsel Tourist SIM historically also asked for the phone IMEI (Tempo, Apr 2024). ↗ |
|---|---|
| Telkomsel has the best coverage in Labuan Bajo and offshore; XL is a decent town backup but weak rural/offshore | Telkomsel first choice Signal is patchy on boats and absent at many dive sites; sometimes available at Padar and Komodo Island. Operator opinion, not a measured map. ↗ |
| eSIMs: install before flying, activate on landing; some are data-only; one passport can register up to 3 Telkomsel eSIMs | Typical 25 GB / 30 days about USD 15-22 Komodo Airport has a Telkomsel kiosk but prices are reportedly up to ~3x official outlets (IDR 400,000+ vs ~200,000 for 25 GB). GraPARI shop in Labuan Bajo can register SIMs (travel2flores). Prices change. ↗ |
| Mains electricity | 230 V, 50 Hz; plug types C and F (two round pins) Indonesia's official tourism site. Dive Tribe adds that power cuts are more common than in Bali, mostly brief, and boats have limited 12 V/USB charging: charge everything before boat day, bring a 10,000 mAh+ power bank (medium). ↗ |

| Tap water is not safe to drink; use sealed bottled or filtered water | Bottled water only State Dept: bottled water from major brands with intact seal is generally safe. Boats normally supply drinking water, ask your operator (no source found, not stated as a fact). ↗ |

Temporada, costumbres y salud
La estación seca va de abril a noviembre, y la de lluvias, de diciembre a marzo. Aun en los meses secos, julio y agosto traen viento y mar picado en las travesías. En la página de cuándo ir encontrará la tabla mes a mes.
Flores es mayoritariamente católica, y Labuan Bajo es un puerto de población mixta. En el pueblo y en las aldeas, cúbrase hombros y rodillas; deje el bañador para la playa y el barco, dé y reciba las cosas con la mano derecha y pida permiso antes de fotografiar a nadie. En los senderos del parque, cada caminata la dirige un guardaparques. Los guías aconsejan quedarse al menos a dos metros de un dragón. Es un consejo de los guías locales, no un aviso oficial del parque, y por eso la tabla le asigna una fiabilidad baja.
Contrate un seguro de viaje que cubra la evacuación médica, porque los hospitales suelen pedir el pago por adelantado. En Labuan Bajo hay un hospital privado y uno público, y los casos graves se evacuan en avión. Hay dengue y rabia, así que protéjase de los mosquitos y vaya al médico si le muerde cualquier animal. No se exige ninguna vacuna para entrar. Lleve los medicamentos con receta en su envase original.
| Dry season April-November, wet season December-March | Dry: little rain, calmer seas (windy/choppy transits July-August); Wet: short heavy downpours, February heaviest, rougher seas especially Dec-Feb Wikipedia (Labuan Bajo, tropical savanna Aw): 1,425 mm rain/year, wettest January (291 mm), driest September (21 mm); daily mean about 25 C, mean daily max about 31 C (peak Oct about 32 C).

| Flores is predominantly Roman Catholic; Labuan Bajo is a mixed port town with a Muslim minority and Bajo coastal communities | Catholic majority; relaxed but not anything-goes travel2flores (9 Oct 2026) and Dive Tribe.

No vaccination is required for entry (State Dept). ↗ |
| Serious or specialist cases are evacuated: Bali about a 1 h 10 min flight; Jakarta 2.5-3 h; Singapore about 3 h | Bali / Jakarta / Singapore Dive Tribe's own durations (it says Jakarta 1.5 h, which conflicts with its flight page); use flight_time values and keep this generic. sin verificar — confirme antes de viajar ↗ |
Reservar con seguridad, y lo que puede cambiar el puerto
Reserve solo con un operador autorizado y pague contra una factura con el nombre de la empresa, el barco, las fechas y lo que incluye. Pida el número de registro: el nuestro es 1805260128363, y en el cuadro del operador figura la dirección de PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia en Labuan Bajo. Desconfíe de los paquetes demasiado baratos, de que le ofrezcan un barco distinto al de las fotos y de cualquiera que le pida pagar en una cuenta personal. En 2026 siguió habiendo viajeros que se quedaron tirados después de pagar a un revendedor, así que guarde sus conversaciones.
El puerto también tiene la última palabra. El permiso para zarpar lo da la autoridad portuaria, la KSOP, no nosotros, y puede suspender las salidas con poco margen. Hubo varios cierres entre diciembre de 2025 y principios de 2026, y otro en agosto de 2026. Las normas del puerto cambian sin mucho aviso, así que pregunte a la oficina qué se aplica en su fecha.
Ese día lleve el pasaporte encima, porque la tarjeta de embarque y la entrada del parque llevan los nombres tal como aparecen en él. Si un cierre obliga a cambiar la ruta, cambia la ruta, no la tarifa, y eso debe saberlo antes de pagar.
| Book only with a verifiable licensed operator; check legality before paying | Ask for NIB/business licence, ASITA membership (ASITA NTT), an office in Labuan Bajo, a written itinerary and an invoice ASITA NTT (4 Aug 2025) and the Ministry of Tourism (27 Jul 2025, https://en.antaranews.com/news/369213/ministry-warns-use-trusted-sources-to-avoid-labuan-bajo-scams) urge verified operators and advance booking. Typical fraud listed by ASITA: unlicensed operators, boat in photos differs from boat provided, agents disappearing after payment, too-cheap packages. ↗ |
|---|---|
| 'Cheap open trip' or resold seats can end with no boat: documented cases of tourists stranded at the harbour after paying | Pay the licensed boat company or a verified agent; keep chat records Floresa (11 Apr 2026): three tourists waited five hours on 6 Apr 2026 and another group of 20 was held in 2025 after an agent failed to pay the boat owner. Cases ended without sanctions. Do not name the operators. ↗ |
| Buying a boat or trip from people approaching you at the pier, or from unverified drivers, is the highest-risk route; tourists without a booking in peak season are the usual targets | Book ahead; do not pay individuals without an invoice ASITA says tourists without prior bookings 'may turn to unverified operators'; a driver defrauding British tourists on 2 Aug 2025 is reported. No source found describing 'pier boat sellers' as a defined scam: the pier wording is an inference. sin verificar — confirme antes de viajar ↗ |
| Do not pay individuals or personal accounts without a written invoice naming the company, boat, dates and what is included (park fees, meals, harbour fee) | Invoice + company bank account Ministry advice is generic: verify payment terms and costs in advance. The 'company account' rule is common-sense guidance, not an official regulation. ↗ |
| Flying a drone in the park without permit is illegal; the Rp 2,000,000 per unit per day fee applies and a SIMAKSI special entry permit is arranged through SiOra | Apply at least 7 days ahead; permit + payment confirmation carried to the park Process/lead time from a single operator FAQ; the fee amount is from PP 36/2024 (see park_fees).

The article does not mention an ID check, and boarding at unofficial points can bypass it (KSOP says sanctions apply). Operators will ask for your full name as in your passport, and SiOra requires passport number, so carry your passport on board and keep a photo of it. ↗ |

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Se puede prorrogar el visado de 30 días?
Sí, una vez, por otros 30 días, hasta un total de 60. Pídalo en una oficina de inmigración con margen, aproximadamente una semana antes de que se cumplan los primeros 30 días, y cuente con tener que ir en persona para las huellas. Quedarse más tiempo del permitido supone una multa diaria, y si el exceso es largo puede acabar en detención o en prohibición de entrada. Un viaje en barco de 3D2N cabe de sobra en los primeros 30 días.
¿El aeropuerto de Komodo es internacional? ¿Dónde se pasa inmigración?
El aeropuerto de Komodo (LBJ) es internacional desde abril de 2024, pero tiene pocos vuelos internacionales directos. La mayoría de los visitantes pasa inmigración en Bali, Yakarta o Surabaya y llega a Labuan Bajo en un vuelo nacional de entre 1 y 3 horas. Antes de comprar, compruebe que su ruta aterriza donde usted cree.
¿A qué distancia está el aeropuerto del puerto?
El aeropuerto de Komodo está a dos o tres kilómetros del pueblo y a unos diez minutos en coche de la marina. Si tiene un viaje reservado con nosotros, la recogida en el aeropuerto o en su hotel es gratuita, a las 09:30. Si toma un taxi en el aeropuerto, pacte el precio antes de subir y pase a la oficina su número de vuelo.
¿Me funcionará la tarjeta en Labuan Bajo?
En hoteles, chárteres y restaurantes grandes, normalmente sí, a menudo con un recargo de unos pocos puntos porcentuales. Los warung, los taxis y las tiendas pequeñas cobran en efectivo. Hay cajeros en el pueblo y en el aeropuerto, y ninguno en las islas. Nuestra factura puede pagarla con enlace de tarjeta, Wise, Revolut o PayPal, que suma un 7.2 por ciento.
¿Qué documentos tengo que llevar el día de la salida?
El pasaporte original, la entrada electrónica del parque o el código QR, y una foto de ambos. La tarjeta de embarque y la entrada del parque llevan los nombres tal como aparecen en el pasaporte, y el de la tarjeta tiene que coincidir con el del manifiesto del barco. Tenga a mano también la factura, con nuestro número de registro 1805260128363, y sus conversaciones, por si surge alguna duda en el muelle.
¿Y si la autoridad portuaria suspende las salidas en mis fechas?
La autoridad puede suspender las salidas por mal tiempo con poco margen, como hizo en enero de 2026 y otra vez en agosto de 2026. Si somos nosotros quienes cancelamos la salida, le devolvemos el importe íntegro en un plazo de 14 días. Si el mar o el parque obligan a cambiar la ruta, cambia la ruta y la tarifa se mantiene. Para lo demás está un seguro que cubra el viaje por mar.
