6. How does the inspection process take place upon arrival in Indonesia?

When you arrive at the Indonesian airport/port, you need to show your QR code profile at PeduliLindungi. Then,the officer will direct you to the health checkpoint to check document requirements and body temperature.

• If you have no COVID-19 symptoms and body temperature is below 37.5 degrees Celsius, you are eligible to continue your trip with temporary green status for 30 days in the PeduliLindungi website or application.
• If you show COVID-19 symptoms or have a body temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius, then you have to do RT-PCR test at the airport/port and wait for the result in the hotel.

You are not allowed to go outside the hotel and interact with other people while waiting for the RT-PCR test. 

If the test result is negative, you are allowed to travel domestically. However, if the test results are positive, you need to isolate in accordance with applicable regulations. International travelers under the age of 18 are also required to undergo isolation if their parents or caregivers/travel companions are tested positive for COVID-19.
