INDONESIA
Assembly, headed by a President elected for a 5-year term. The House of Representatives consists of elected politicians, each representing at least 40,000 residents of the country. CLIMATE OF INDONESIA Indonesia has a tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 21°C to 33°C. In mountainous regions, temperatures can be cooler. The climate can be roughly divided into two seasons: wet and dry, influenced by monsoon winds that bring either moist or dry air masses to the islands. However, in many parts of the country, differences between seasons may not be very noticeable due to constant heat and high humidity. Typically, the rainy season lasts from November to April, with the wettest months being January and February, and the dry season from May to October. However, in northern Sumatra and central and northern parts of Maluku, seasons may be reversed. Additionally, each island may have its own microclimate, further complicating the picture. USEFUL TIPS FOR TRAVELING TO INDONESIA To obtain a 30-day visa on arrival, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure from Indonesia, and you must present a ticket for your departure from the country. Visa on arrival is not available for all countries, so it is advisable to check visa regulations before traveling. Entry and exit can be made through one of the 15 airports and 21 seaports officially designated as «international gateways» by the Immigration Department of Indonesia.

HEALTH For entry into Indonesia, vaccinations are not required.
If you plan an extended trip involving travels and visits to less developed tourist zones, especially outside Bali and Java, consider getting the following vaccinations: typhoid, hepatitis A and B, tetanus, polio, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. In Russia, some of these vaccinations are mandatory and administered from childhood. Malaria vaccinations may be necessary in certain areas of Indonesia. The most common illness when visiting Indonesia is stomach upset. Drink only bottled water and avoid unfamiliar food. If you experience diarrhea, avoid spicy and fatty foods, alcohol, coffee, milk, and fruits. Consume young coconut, toast, rice, bananas, and noodles. Prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids. The sun has a strong effect on the skin; beware of sunburns and use sunscreen. CURRENCY The currency of Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah. The exchange rate against the dollar fluctuates frequently; check with your agency before your trip.
