To travel to Indonesia, you must be vaccinated with at least 2 COVID-19 vaccine doses. You'll also need to take a COVID-19 (PCR) test on arrival and self-isolate at your hotel, accommodation, or home until you receive a negative result.

Partially vaccinated 6-17 year olds may be required to complete vaccinations by local authorities after a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result.
