Business visits to Indonesia

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Liberian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see evisa.imigrasi.go.id.

Common tourist traps

  1. Drink spiking

    How it works: Spiking linked to sexual assault is reported in Bali, Lombok and the Gili Islands, including after inviting new acquaintances to hotel rooms.

    How to avoid it: Watch drinks being made, never leave them alone, do not accept drinks from strangers.

  2. Bag-snatching in Bali

    How it works: Bags are often snatched in busy tourist areas.

    How to avoid it: Conceal your bag and carry only essentials.

  3. Card fraud and fake ATM helplines

    How it works: Cards are copied out of sight; fake "help" numbers on ATMs are used to get card details.

    How to avoid it: Keep your card in view and call only your bank's official number.
