The Indonesian government completely prohibits foreigners from entering the country for two weeks from the 1st of next month. This is a follow-up to the global spread of the new coronavirus infection mutation (Corona 19) from the UK.
According to Detic.com on the 28th, Foreign Minister Retno Masudi, who ended the meeting of the Council of State, said in a press conference, “(in the Council of State) it was decided to temporarily prohibit the entry of foreigners to the country from 1 to January 14, 2021 “. Revealed. He added: “We plan to apply various regulations to foreigners entering Indonesia from today (28) to 31.” However, high-level civil servants at ministerial level and above are excluded. This is the first time that Indonesia has blocked all foreigners from entering the country after the Corona 19 incident.
This policy is based on the judgment that the mutant virus found in the UK is highly contagious. In the case of departure or transit from the UK, entry has already been blocked. The Indonesian government explained: “The UK COVID-19 mutation has yet to be discovered (in Indonesia), but it is highly contagious so it is best to prevent it in advance.
The day before, the Indonesian government announced that it will conduct a quarantine at the hotel for 5 days after a genetic amplification test (PCR) for all incoming travelers from 10:00 pm on the 27th to the 8th of the following month. Inspection and accommodation costs are at your own expense. There was a movement to postpone entry after the 8th, as this was the case for all immigrants, including diplomats, but the announcement that foreigners entering the country would be banned from the 1st of next month was confusing. .
In response, the Korean embassy in Indonesia said: “It has been confirmed that holders of official passports such as the one-year long-term residence visa (KITAS), the five-year residence permit (KITAP) and diplomats can enter the country as an exception “.
