Granite Pireci April 12, 2022 18:04

Indonesia has relaxed its entry regulations again. From now on, fully vaccinated travelers no longer have to take a PCR test after arriving in the Asian country and wait for the result in a hotel. However, the PCR test before departure to Indonesia remains mandatory. Indonesia had only canceled the PCR test on the third day after arrival for travelers on March 23rd, and now the entry rules have been further relaxed. Until now, arrivals had to take a PCR test directly at the airport in Indonesia and wait for the result in a pre-booked, CHSE-certified accommodation. If the test was negative, they were allowed to move freely around the country from then on. This test and the associated waiting time are no longer necessary, and the hotel booking confirmation is no longer required. However, the prerequisite is that the body temperature does not exceed 37,5 degrees Celsius on arrival, as Check24 reports. Otherwise, a PCR test is still required. From now on, holidaymakers travelling to Indonesia only need to take a PCR test before departure and carry the result in English. The sample must be taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. For travellers aged 18 and over, quarantine-free entry is only permitted if they can provide proof of full vaccination in addition to the negative corona test. Without full vaccination protection, a five-day quarantine must be spent in an assigned hotel, which also includes a paid PCR test on the fourth day. All travellers must also fill out a health declaration in the Indonesian app "PeduliLindungi" before departure. In addition, proof can be provided
