New Restrictions Placed on Foreign Citizens Entering Indonesian Territory Amidst Implementation of Emergency PPKM

  • In an attempt to support Indonesia’s ongoing Emergency Public Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat - "PPKM") policy which is being aimed at mitigating the spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), including from areas that lie outside of Indonesian territory, the Minister of Law and Human Rights ("Minister") has now issued Regulation No. 27 of 2021 on the Restriction of Foreign Citizens Entering Indonesian Territory During the Period of Emergency Public Activity Restrictions ("Regulation 27/2021").
  • During the emergency PPKM, the Minister will restrict the movements of any foreign citizens that attempt to enter into or transit through Indonesian territory. However, these restrictions do not apply to the following foreign citizens: 1) Holders of diplomatic and service visas (visa dinas); 2) Holders of diplomatic and service-stay permits; 3) Holders of limited-stay permits and permanent-stay permits; 4) Foreign citizens working as part of health and humanitarian missions; and 5) Transportation crews (alat angkut). Said foreign citizens will be required to comply with the stipulated health protocols, while the foreign citizens outlined under point (4) above will first be required to secure a recommendation from the relevant ministries/agencies in charge of organizing the handling of COVID-19.
  • Foreign citizens who have secured stay permits and who are currently in Indonesian territory may be issued new stay permits (i.e. visitor visas or limited-stay visas) after they have first secured official approvals. In order to obtain said visas, a foreign citizen’s guarantor must submit an electronic application to the Director-General of Immigration and pay the relevant visa approval and visa fees.
  • Regulation 27/2021 has been in force since 21 July 2021.
