    For some reason, immigration has decided that new Indonesian passports are issued without a signature. Neither a digital signature nor a signature column is anywhere on the passport. This has resulted in Germany rejecting these passports due to not being compliant with their regulation. VFS...

    On-shore visa applications now need to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination.

    Covid Vaccination for foreigners in Indonesia (Main Thread)

    Hi, Since this is a recurring topic, and information is inconsistent, it would be good to have a thread specifically for how foreigners can obtain Covid-19 vaccinations in Indonesia. Also of interest is any avenues for non-resident foreigners. For the public option (free from the gov't)...
