Quarantine duration shortened to 5 days
Travelers are still required to present their vaccination certificate, PCR test result (up to 72 hours before departure), and proof of booking at a hotel/residence for the quarantine process upon arrival. The new regulation shortened the quarantine duration to only 5 days, and travelers must undergo PCR re-testing twice during this period (on arrival and on the 4th day of quarantine). All quarantine and testing expenses are paid by the traveler.
The following are additional provisions that foreign travelers must comply with:
- Short Visit Visa or other entry permits in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Proof of ownership of health insurance with a minimum coverage value of USD 100,000 which includes financing for COVID-19 related expenses.
- Install and use the PeduliLindungi app on their phone, which can be downloaded here.
Those who do not possess a valid visa can apply online, while KITAS or KITAP holders aged 12-17 who have not been vaccinated in their home country can be vaccinated in Indonesia after their second PCR test. The cost of visa application with an agent ranges between USD 350 to 500 depending on the services provided, please contact us for more information on this.
