COVID-19. Can we travel to Indonesia from France?<\/mark><\/strong> As of this writing (June 7, 2022), foreign travelers are again allowed to enter Indonesia without quarantine. There is no need to present a PCR test upon arrival if one is vaccinated. The 30-day tourist Visa on Arrival (VoA) is reinstated at all airports (500,000 IDR, about 35 \u20ac, renewable once), the B211A-tourism visa is also valid again. The following are still required: a certificate of vaccination with two or three doses for at least 14 days (one dose for the Johnson & Johnson), an insurance covering Covid-19 (for an amount of at least 13 400 \u20ac), as well as the registration on the application PeduliLindungi<\/a>\u00a0for smartphone (iOS<\/a> or Android<\/a>).

In this month of July 2018, I land in the Alor archipelago, in the east of Indonesia, not far from Timor. I settle down for eight days on the island of Pantar at Alor Divers<\/a>. A nice little diving resort created by a Franco-Slovenian couple, Gilles and Neya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
