Furthermore, foreign visitors will no longer be required to undergo RT-PCR tests upon arrival as long as they pass the body temperature screening.
Requirements for foreign visitors are proof of vaccination and negative PCR test taken two days prior to arrival, so they no longer need to undergo another test in Indonesia, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto explained after a cabinet meeting in Jakarta.
The Indonesian government has applied the visa exemption agreement among ASEAN member nations since July 2006.
International airports in Yogyakarta, Medan, Makassar, and Pekanbaru will be reopened to boost international arrivals./.
