•Prompted by the spread of Mpox, international travellers arriving at any of Indonesia’s ports must complete an electronic health declaration form called the SATUSEHAT Health Pass,
The ruling, which came into effect on August 30th, applies to both both foreign and Indonesians. The form can be completed at https://sshp.kemkes.go.id. After completion, arrivals will receive a barcode containing their health and travel information. This barcode will then be scanned at airport arrival gates.
Arrivals will also have to pass temperature check scanners prior to immigration. If a traveller’s temperature is above 37.5 degrees Celsius, they will be subject to further health screening. Anyone developing symptoms within 21 days of arrival should seek medical attention and present their barcode.
