Do I have to have travel/health insurance?
True that Balifrog! Yep loads of real dangers to worry about. In fact, one has about a 99% of catching the dreaded gravy bum in any Asian country. Luckily they're not swab testing everyone for that as well.- rams1980

PeduliLindungi and enter public places
We're in the Kimpinksi hotel for our quarantine. Bit dissapointing tbh, could've got the Mandarin Oriental for the same money but my wife said this hotel has good rep in Indonesia and it looked nice in photos to be fair. Room is a bit tired and not that clean in reality. Quarantine packages are...- rams1980

I need to go to an immigration office but I'll just take my UK vaccine certificates with me for that then. Sounds like not really an issue not having it otherwise then. Not worth the hassle of chasing it up. I'm a bit bored in hotel quarantine right now so should probably try and get these...- rams1980

Do I have to have travel/health insurance?
Oh ok, well they haven't communicated that well then! Anyway we entered Jakarta yesterday and it was an absolute nightmare that took 4 hours, but insurance was not asked for which was good as I didn't have any! I guess the $25k is for Bali for tourists from the 19 countries or they're just not...- rams1980

I'm having the same problem. My wife and I are in the UK and upoaded our UK vaccine certificates on the same website as you. My wife as an Indonesian had hers approved about 1 day later, got the Indonesian certificate all on PenduliLindungi. I waited a week and got nothing, logged back it and it...- rams1980

It's more of a recent thing to show you have cover for covid hospitalisation. Have you been through immigration in the last couple of months? Indonesia...rules unclear, change all the time but rarely enforced anyway lol- rams1980

Cool... that's reassuring. I'll just try and keep a low profile and cruise through immigration..lol I didn't need to show insurance to get my VITAS, had to get my wife as sponsor to sign a letter saying I would be financally independent for medical and living as I cannot work on this visa...- rams1980

That's a completely new one to me?! Never seen $25k before, $100k is plastered over loads of websites including Indonesian government ones, definitely for tourists. They just don't don't explain KITAS rules well. Not sure about your source on that, the link is broken. Thanks though.- rams1980

Do I have to have travel/health insurance?
So the rules change so quickly and information is inacurate and scarce. At the moment there is a $100,000 USD minimum insurance cover requirement to go to Indonesia, but my interpretation is that's aimed at B211 visa holders like for tourists visiting Bali or Riau Islands from the list of...- rams1980

How do I pay the USD fee for Limited Saty Visa?
Not entirely true. The visa process has to be initiated by an Indonesian sponsor, not neccesarily by one actually in Indonesia. Therefore your assumption that there'd be no problem processing payment locally in Indonesia is incorrect. I would actually go as far as saying that given it was for a...- rams1980

How do I pay the USD fee for Limited Saty Visa?
BRI wouldn't even take USD cash for us, had to open a dollar account just for that, pay in the cash and then send it from that account. Too much hassle. BNI seemed ok with USD cash as the only option. Mandiri didn't care if you have an account with them or not nor wether you pay in USD or...- rams1980

Hopefully I can now help others in these situations. Having read the above posts it's rather convincing but conflicting advice. I can now understand why because there's a lack of consistency with the Indonesian banks so people would've had different experiences. So I'm British currently in the...- rams1980
