Indonesia has relaxed entry regulations again. From now on, fully vaccinated travelers no longer have to take a PCR test after arrival in the Asian country and wait for the result in a hotel. However, the PCR test before departure to Indonesia remains mandatory.

Indonesia only canceled the PCR test on the third day after arrival for travelers on March 23, and the entry rules have now been relaxed further. Until now, arrivals had to have a PCR test carried out directly at the airport in Indonesia and wait for the results in pre-booked, CHSE-certified accommodation. If the outcome was negative, they were allowed to move freely in the country from then on.

This test and the associated waiting time are no longer necessary, and the booking confirmation from the hotel 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 due.

From now on, vacationers traveling to Indonesia only have to have a PCR test carried out before the start of the trip and carry the result in English with them. Samples may be taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. For travelers aged 18 and over, quarantine-free entry is only permitted if they can also present proof of a 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 chargeable PCR test on the fourth day. All travelers are also required to fill out a health declaration on the Indonesian app PeduliLindendi before departure. In addition, proof of health insurance covering COVID-19 may be required.
