COVID-19: Quarantine requirements eased for foreign nationals

IMPACT – MEDIUM

The Indonesian government has eased its COVID-19 quarantine requirements for foreign nationals entering the country.

Key Points:

• Foreign nationals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but have not received a booster shot must now quarantine for three days instead of five days. Such travelers must take a PCR test upon arrival and on the day before the quarantine ends.
• Foreign nationals arriving in Indonesia must continue to have proof of a COVID-19 vaccination certificate, proof of a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before departure, and a quarantine-hotel reservation before arriving in Indonesia.

Additional Information: Children who are not fully vaccinated and under the age of 18 will be required to quarantine with their parents. Foreign nationals traveling as tourists must have a travel insurance policy that covers COVID-related medical costs of at least $25,000. Business travelers are exempt from the travel insurance requirement.
