Just days after Indonesia had reacted to the Omicron variant and increased the quarantine period to 7 days, now the government has passed a new regulation increasing the mandatory quarantine to 10 days.

The mandatory quarantine for eligible foreign nationals Indonesians (WNA) is now 10 x 24 hours. Depending on the time of your arrival and the time of your 2nd PCR in the quarantine hotel the day before check-out this could mean 9 or even 10 nights in the hotel. 

This regulation will take effect on 3rd December 2021.
