    IEMI registration for non phone devices

    I visited Indonesia for 6 weeks during August/September 2022. During that time, I was using T-Mobile (using a SIM card from the US), which allowed roaming and a limited amount of high-speed data. I'm trying to understand this blocking mechanism, and what it will mean for my next trip in...

    Indonesia Second Home Programme - All Retirement Stay Permits Abolished and Existing Holders Scheduled for Expulsion in Case of Non-Compliance

    I've just finished reading all the posts from the start, and one thing that's still not clear is the option of buying a property in lieu of the IDR 2 billion. As I understand this, it's either one, or the other to satisfy the visa requirements. With regards to this property purchase option, I...

    Vaccine Booster Requirement for Domestic Air Travel

    Hi Snpark, She will use her Indonesian passport/KTP for the domestic flight. My guess is they won't care if she's got a US green card - if indeed they are checking... FWIW, we just came back from a 6 week trip this past July/August, and the only thing we had to show was our physical vaccine...

    Vaccine Booster Requirement for Domestic Air Travel

    I had a question on interpretation, regarding the most recent regulations on domestic air travel related to whether or not the "third dose" is required. I'm referring to this document: SURAT EDARAN NOMOR 24 TAHUN 2022. Specifically paragraph G, items 3a, and 3b. What I'm reading on item 3a...

    Recent travel back from DFW to JKT

    We are currently on our trip from Houston to Solo, and wanted to share a few details about our experiences. First of all, this was an award ticket from United (Star Alliance), and our total planned stay in Indonesia was originally for 30 days exactly using the VOA. So our trip, went from...

    March 2022 final update no quarantine

    Thanks Wisnu for that link! From there I was able to dig a little more, and get to the original web based document from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. I'll save the link on my iPhone, and print a copy to have handy in the airport - just in case not everyone got the memo. Here is that link.

    March 2022 final update no quarantine

    I'm still trying to figure out how the single dose Johnson & Johnson is evaluated by the airline/airport staff. My PeduliLindungi is now set up. Went to the https://vaksinln.dto.kemkes.go.id/ website and registered my vaccine. It asked what type, and selected Johnson & Johnson. Next day went...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    In my case, will be using Singapore Airlines on the IAH-SIN-DPS. There's a technical (fuel) stop in Manchester, UK, and a 6 hour transit in Singapore - however will stay within the airport. My understanding is this will be a "direct" flight.

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    Yes, good point - I did see that mentioned in one of the sources. In any case, quite happy not having to deal with the B211a. Still need to get a PCR test on arrival, but can go directly to the hotel. I believe one of the reasons for the 4 days, is that another PCR test is required on the 3rd...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    It looks like the visa on arrival has been reinstated starting this week, according to several news companies, but nicely detailed in indonesiaexpat.id. Apparently it's only for 23 countries, and can only be issued at the Bali airport. Additionally it looks like there will be a Rp500.000 tax...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    It's not official just yet, but according to The Bali Times, Bali will "trial" quarantine free entry starting on, or before March 14. The stipulation is to be fully vaccinated, "or a booster" - which I'm inclined think means "and a booster". So if meeting these requirements, you still get a...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    So this new "double vaccinated" rule has me wondering about a couple things. The Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine is considered to be equivalent to having the first and second dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer. In that case, it should be considered fully vaccinated - i.e. "double...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    In looking at the online visa website, I believe that it would be the VK (Visa Kunjungan). Of course that is for the current situation. If the Indonesian government goes back to the visa-on-arrival in the coming months, I would use that.

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    In my checklist I think there's also a requirement for having proof of health insurance at this current time. If that's still a requirement in July, then not a big deal. Just so many little details, and everything has to be in order. I'll be the first to celebrate if these requirements fade...

    Quarantine back to 7 days starting December

    That is something I somehow missed along the way - so very good to know. Thanks. The main thing I'm doing in advance is getting the airline reservations in order. Will be using mileage points, and the seats for the best flights seem to be disappearing with the limited allocations the airlines...
