Travelling from Singapore
Going to Indonesia?
Southeast Asia · About 2.5 hours to Bali; under an hour to Batam and Bintan · pays in IDR
From Bali holidays to quick Batam and Bintan island escapes, Indonesia is a go-to for Singaporean travellers. Data coverage is good in tourist areas but patchier off the beaten track.

Your eSIM for Indonesia
Airalo
Airalo's Indonesia coverage holds up well in Bali and the main islands. For a short Batam or Bintan trip, a small plan is more than enough.
Your travel card for Indonesia
YouTrip
Indonesia leans on cash outside resorts, but YouTrip is useful for hotels, tours and bookings — hold Indonesian rupiah to dodge the FX fee.
Before you depart
Lounge access at Changi for the trip out
Before you fly to Indonesia
- Install your eSIM before you fly, so data works the moment you land in Indonesia.
- Load Indonesian rupiah (IDR) onto your travel card to lock in the rate.
- Check whether a credit card you already hold includes airport lounge access.
- Download offline maps for Indonesia in case you land before your eSIM activates.
- Remember a data-only eSIM has no local number — use WhatsApp or Telegram for calls and OTPs.
