Registration after arrival

3 months

Indonesian law obliges owners or managers of lodging to give data on foreign guests when an immigration officer asks (Art. 72(2)). Failing to do so after the request is punishable by up to 3 months' detention or a fine of up to Rp25,000,000 (Art. 117). The Directorate General of Immigration describes how lodging owners or managers report foreigners who check in at a hotel through its APOA application. The UK government says travellers in private accommodation must register with the local police and could be fined 5 million rupiah if they do not; hotel guests are registered automatically. Australia's Smartraveller says people staying in a private residence, including a private Airbnb or a rental, must register when they arrive.
