TRAVELLER'S CHECKLIST

Indonesia is a truly remarkable country, and to ensure you get only the best out of your trip to Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia, we highly recommend reading the following information. During your stay at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, should you need any medical advice, please call the Operator at ext. 0.

Before you go:

See your doctor and dentist and ensure you are in the best of health before you leave.
Check if your routine vaccinations are up to date.
Arrange a copy of your personal health record to carry when you travel. Include copies of your medication prescriptions.

Take any medicines you require in their original packaging, including any information leaflets, with them clearly labelled with your matching passport name and your doctor’s name. Bring enough medicines to cover the trip, and extra in case of delays, with no more than a 30-day supply.
Please be advised that narcotics and psychotropic drugs are strictly prohibited by the Government of Republic of Indonesia and may result in severe penalties (including the death penalty).

Required Vaccinations:

The only vaccine required by international regulations is yellow fever. Proof of vaccination will be required only if you have visited a country in the yellow-fever zone (primarily some parts of Africa and South America) within six days of entering Southeast Asia.

Recommended Vaccinations:

• Covid-19: required for all travellers to enter hotel premises. Guests who cannot be vaccinated due to health conditions are exempted, in which case a Doctor’s certificate is required.
• Cholera: oral vaccination is recommended for travellers. Vaccination is not 100% protective, and hygiene, food and water precautions must still be taken.
• Typhoid: for travellers who may eat or drink outside major restaurants and hotels.
• Polio: one-time booster recommended for any adult traveller who completed the childhood series but never had a polio vaccine as an adult.
• Yellow fever: required for all travellers over one year of age arriving from a yellow-fever-infected area in Africa or the Americas. Not recommended otherwise.
• Japanese encephalitis: for travellers who may spend a month or more in rural areas and for short-term travellers who may spend substantial time outdoors in rural areas, especially after dusk.
• Hepatitis A: recommended for all travellers.
• Hepatitis B: recommended for all travellers.
• Rabies: for travellers and children spending a lot of time outdoors, or at high risk from animal bites, or involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with animals.
• Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): two doses recommended for all travellers born after 1956, if not previously given.
• Tetanus-diphtheria: revaccination recommended every ten years.

Malaria medication: there is no malaria in the cities of Jakarta and Bali. However, if visiting malarial areas, take chemoprophylaxis a week or more beforehand, as malaria in the country is resistant to the medication chloroquine.

MEDICAL CHECKLIST

Recommended items for a convenient personal medical kit:

• Antibacterial cream
• Antihistamine – there are many options
• Antiseptic (e.g. Betadine)
• Contraceptives
• DEET-based insect repellent
• First-aid items such as scissors, bandages, thermometer (but not a mercury one) and tweezers

HEALTH TIPS

Tap water inside Hotel Indonesia Kempinski is filtered so it is safe to drink. However, it is not safe to drink tap water outside the hotel. To avoid the typical risk of travellers’ diarrhea, we advise you to always drink bottled water or carbonated beverages, provided that the seal is intact. Avoid eating or drinking anything offered by street vendors, including ice cream or ice cubes, which can be made from unsafe water.

To avoid risks from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, Zika or chikungunya, it is important to regularly apply DEET-based insect repellent every four hours, especially when travelling outdoors.

VISA INFORMATION

The main visa options for visitors to Indonesia are:

Visa in Advance Visitors can apply for a visa before they arrive in Indonesia. Typically, this is a visitor’s visa, which comes in two types: 30 or 60 days. Details vary by country; contact your nearest Indonesian embassy or consulate to determine processing fees and times.

Visa on Arrival Citizens of over 65 countries may apply for a 30-day visa when they arrive at major airports and harbours (but not most land borders). The cost is USD 35; be sure to have the exact amount in US currency. Eligible countries include Australia, Canada, much – but not all – of the EU, including France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK, plus New Zealand and the USA.
