Travel Resources

Indonesia has introduced a health check requirement to enter the country.

This is related to the MPox virus.

Please see the below link for more information and the steps that you will need to take.

It is a simple questionnaire which generates a QR code which you should screen shot and save as you need to show to an official on arrival into Indonesia

Please, complete this after check in from your own country (or whichever country you are travelling to Indonesia from) as it requires your flight seat number.
