Indonesia VTL has never been a two-way quarantine-free, and now Indonesia imposed 10 days quarantine to incoming international travellers in the latest rules update.
UPDATE 7 FEBRUARY 2022: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠️:
Read this before going on Indonesia VTL, Indonesia BANNED TOURISTS to Jakarta, you can still travel to Bali.
All international arrivals to Indonesia will have to undergo quarantine for 5 days. This is not specifically for those from Singapore.
Basically, an even more special treatment will apply if you are coming to Indonesia from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Nigeria. Except for returning Indonesians in particular, you will need to undergo 14 days of isolation.
Indonesia have been doing well in managing the pandemic in the past few months. Therefore, they would not want to risk another wave of infection.
This move is just after other countries, in this instance, South Korea, also imposed 10 days of quarantine.
Omicron Variants Rapid Development
Singapore previously imposed additional Antigen Rapid Test for VTL travellers on Day 3 and Day 7 upon arrival. We had covered this quite extensively through the article below.
