About 150,000 people were killed in Banda Aceh in the tsunami of December 26, 2004. Parts of the city were permanently underwater. Many aid agencies have since been present to help rebuild. The long-standing conflict between the Aceh independence movement (GAM) and the Indonesian military (TNI) was for the time being resolved with the peace agreement of 15 August 2005. The peace process has been quite smooth since then.
In 2006, the province held its first direct and democratic local elections. In 2007, the first democratically elected governor, Irwadi Yusuf, was sworn in. Banda Aceh has a rainforest climate, with nearly constant average temperatures. The average annual temperature in the city is 27°C. However, the city has wetter and drier seasons, with June to August being the driest months of the year.
Banda Aceh does not have a true dry season month, where less than 60 mm of rain falls on average. On average, the city receives just under 2,000 mm of rainfall per year. Foreigners no longer need a travel permit (Surat Jalan) to enter Aceh, but an Indonesian visa is required.
By Bus[Edit]
It is possible to get a 30-day visa on arrival at Banda Aceh Airport. The embassy in Kuala Lumpur can sometimes process the visa on the same day if you complete all the paperwork before noon, although this should only apply to Malaysian residents. There are direct night buses, with a journey time of 9 to 13 hours - from Medan to Banda Aceh.

The nearest major (international) ferry terminal is Belawan Port, near Medan. Picks up ships originating from Batam, Indonesia (a common route when originating from Singapore). The Penang Ferry is no longer in operation. From Ulhee-lhee, the port of Banda Aceh, you can go to Pulau Weh and Pulau Aceh.
The main means of transport are becak (motorcycle taxis) and labi-labi (public minibuses). Due to the sudden influx of cash after the tsunami, residents have become accustomed to over-indebtedness, but now stabilization has returned. Examples of becak fares are: Airport - Grand Mosque: Rp 40,000.
