In March 2026, Indonesia simultaneously celebrates the vacations of Nyepi (the Balinese New Year, marked by total silence and a halt to all activities) and those of the’Eid el-Fitr (marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan). The Indonesian government has introduced collective vacations, called Cuti Bersama, to allow people to celebrate these religious holidays and travel with their families. During this week, the administration is operating on minimum service, taking visa processing systems offline to synchronize technical maintenance with these national holidays.
