Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Euro to Indonesian Rupiah exchange rate?
The EUR to IDR exchange rate typically ranges between 16,500-18,500 IDR per 1 EUR. Bank Indonesia allows the rupiah to float while occasionally intervening for stability. The strong euro gives European travelers exceptional purchasing power in Indonesia, and Bali is hugely popular with Dutch, German, French, and Italian tourists. Europe has a small Indonesian community (30,000+) plus thousands of European expats living in Bali and Jakarta. Our converter updates every 30 minutes with real mid-market rates.
Is Indonesia expensive for European tourists?
Indonesia is very affordable for Europeans, especially outside Bali tourist zones. With €1 EUR buying 16,500-18,500 IDR, travelers from Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy find excellent value. Local meals €1.20-3, budget hotels €7-17/night, domestic flights €20-65, temple entries €0.65-7. Bali tourist areas (Seminyak, Ubud) approach Western prices, but Java, Sumatra, Lombok, and Flores offer far better value. Your euros stretch significantly—Indonesia is one of Southeast Asia's best budget destinations.
How can Indonesians in Europe send money to Indonesia?
European-based Indonesians can use: Remitly (good Indonesia coverage), Wise (competitive rates to BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI), WorldRemit, Western Union or MoneyGram (extensive network across 17,000 islands); digital wallets (GoPay, OVO, Dana increasingly accepted); or bank transfers. For communities in Netherlands, Germany, France sending to Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, or Java villages, compare total IDR received—differences can be 2-4%. Specialized services save significantly versus European banks.
Why does the rupiah fluctuate against the euro?
IDR volatility reflects: Indonesia's emerging market status with capital flows, commodity price swings (major palm oil, coal, nickel exporter), Bank Indonesia vs ECB policy, inflation dynamics, trade balance fluctuations, and global risk sentiment. The euro's strength amplifies the exchange rate. For European Indonesians and Dutch/German/French expats in Bali, rupiah weakness (higher EUR/IDR) means more rupiah per euro—beneficial for remittances and living costs but reflecting Indonesia's developing economy status.
When is the best time to send euros to Indonesia?
Rupiah tends to gradually weaken, but timing big swings is difficult. For monthly family support, consistent transfers work well. For large transfers (property in Jakarta/Bali, business investment, family events), watch: Bank Indonesia policy meetings, commodity price trends (Indonesia exports palm oil, coal), ECB decisions, and emerging market sentiment. Send when EUR/IDR is elevated (rupiah weak) to maximize rupiah received. Rate alert apps help catch favorable moments.
