Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The government has again relaxed the provisions of the health protocol for overseas travelers (PPLN).One of them, is the provision of mandatory PCR tests upon arrival.If previously the PCR test was applied to every foreign traveler even though they had received a complete vaccination, now the PCR test only applies to suspected Covid-19 symptoms, for example symptoms of fever or body temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius.The above provisions are stated in Circular (SE) 17/2022 concerning Health Protocols for Overseas Travel During the 2019 Corona Virus Disease Pandemic, which was signed by the Head of the Task Force, Suharyanto on April 5, 2022."In the event that PPLN detects symptoms related to Covid-19 or has a body temperature above 37.5 degrees, it must undergo RT-PCR re-examination," the provisions in the SE said, as quoted by CNBC Indonesia, Wednesday (6/4/2022). ).The obligation to undergo RT-PCR retest for Indonesian citizens (WNI) will be borne by the government.However, the cost of RT-PCR re-testing for Foreign Citizens (WNA) is borne independently by the foreigner concerned.However, the government still requires foreign travelers to show a negative RT-PCR result in their country/region of origin whose samples were taken within a maximum period of 2x24 hours before departure and attached at the time of the health check.The conditions for entering the territory of Indonesia through the entry point are complying with the health protocol, and PPLNs are also required to use the PeduliLindung application and download the application before departure.PPLNs, both Indonesian citizens and foreigners, are also required to show a physical or digital certificate card as proof that they have received the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days before departure as a requirement to enter Indonesia.At least, there are several entrances for foreign travel, whether through airports, seaports, to the National Cross-Border Post (PLBN).Here's the list:Raja Haji Fisabilillah, Riau Islands;Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, West Nusa Tenggara;Sultan Hasanuddin, South Sulawesi;andAnjung Balai Karimun, Riau Islands;and
