New Quarantine Provisions: Quarantine Exemptions Introduced for Certain Foreign Officials

  • The spokesperson for the Task Force ("SATGAS") for the Mitigation of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), Wiku Adi Sasmito, affirmed in a recent statement that SATGAS COVID-19 had recently issued Circular No. 25 of 2021 on Health Protocols for International Travel During the COVID-19 Pandemic, which obliges all foreign nationals and Indonesians arriving in the country from overseas to undergo a period of quarantine.
  • However, exceptions to these mandatory quarantine requirements are now available for foreign nationals that hold diplomatic and official visas, foreign officials and state visit delegates from the G-20 member states, as well as persons arriving under the Travel Corridor Agreement (TCA) scheme. Exemptions for Indonesian citizens are available for persons traveling under emergency health conditions that require special care, as well as for persons who have lost close family members. However, any Indonesian citizens that arrive from 11 officially listed countries in which rapid transmission of the Omicron variant is occurring will have to undergo a mandatory 14 days of quarantine.
  • Furthermore, relaxations and reductions in quarantine durations and/or permission to implement home quarantine may be extended to Echelon I officials who arrive back home after the completion of their official duties overseas. However, it is important to note that this relaxation is only available if said officials submit a home-quarantine request three days prior to their arrival in Indonesia. It should also be noted that the mandatory reporting of RT-PCR results on day nine of any period of quarantine applies to all individuals that are undergoing home quarantine. (ANT)
