Indonesia Updates Entry Requirements – Quarantine-Free Entry for Those Fully Vaccinated

As part of reopening its borders, Indonesia has been updating its entry requirements making it easier for those looking to visit. Taking effect from 17th July 2022, new policies were announced by the nation’s COVID-19 Task Force including that travellers do not need to present a negative result of an RT-PCR test taken before embarkation. Those who can show proof of full vaccination do not have to quarantine making this destination an ideal place to visit with safe accommodation on offer too at beachside properties like The Residence Bintan. Such hotels have stringent health and hygiene measures in place and are also ideal for hosting events in Bintan be it for meetings, weddings or private functions.

As part of Indonesia’s arrival protocols, tourists who are partially vaccinated or unvaccinated need to quarantine for five days and conduct an RT-PCR test on the fourth day. Additionally, the country offers those from ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) destinations a visit visa exemption when it comes to tourism; in a positive move, the number of nations whose citizens can obtain a visa on arrival for tourism has increased as well. Travellers should keep in mind such regulations are subject to change and always check for further updates before they visit.
