If you are entering Indonesia from abroad, a tourist visa on arrival or an electronic visa is typically needed for short visits, and rules can change, so verify current requirements before international travel."

        "answer": "Since you are departing from Pekanbaru, which is already in Indonesia, you are looking at domestic flights. The best airport for you depends on your destination within the country. Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta is the main hub with the most connections across the archipelago and serves as the gateway for international long-haul flights. Bali Ngurah Rai is ideal for beach resorts and has many domestic links. Surabaya Juanda works well for East Java, and Medan Kualanamu is the key entry for North Sumatra. For onward trains, Jakarta has the best rail connections across Java."
