- As the government has now officially extended the implementation of Public Activity Restriction (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") Levels 2, 3 and 4 within the areas of Java and Bali until 23 August 2021, the Ministry of Transportation has confirmed that the new regulatory framework that addresses transportation requirements is identical to its previous iterations, specifically Circular of the COVID-19 Handling Taskforce ("Taskforce") No. 17 of 2021 on the Provision of Personal Domestic Travel During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period, as well as Circular of the Taskforce No. 18 of 2021 on International Health Protocols During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period.
- Generally speaking, the travel requirements that are now in force restrict mobility to and from locations within Java and Bali at the regency/city level and are now uniformly regulated (without any areas’ specific PPKM levels having to be taken into consideration). Said travel requirements now break down as follows: 1) Travel to and from locations outside of Java and Bali requires travelers to show a first dosage vaccination card and the negative result of an RT PCR test taken a maximum of 2 x 24 hours prior to departure at the least (for air travel); and 2) Travel between cities/regencies within Java and Bali now requires the following: a) Air travel: passengers are required to show negative antigen test results (for fully vaccinated passengers) or negative RT-PCR test results (for passengers who have received a first vaccination only); and b) Travel via other modes of transportation: travelers are required to show a first dosage vaccination card and the negative results of either an RT-PCR test or antigen test at the least.
- Furthermore, the following provisions also apply in terms of travel within the areas of Java and Bali: 1) Persons younger than 12 years of age are still prohibited from traveling; and 2) Logistics and goods transportation drivers are exempted from the vaccination card requirements outlined above.
