Sorry, I don't want to open a new topic
I have a question about what conditions must be met when coming to Indonesia. Maybe one of my colleagues has returned and knows what is currently required at the Jakarta airport

I just got back from Raja Ampat yesterday. My advice to you is when you arrive in Jakarta airport, go straight to Visa-on-Arrival (VoC) booth ASAP to avoid a long line. Have US $35 ready to pay up the VoC fee.
Don’t worry about getting the PeduliLindungi app.
Make sure you stay 30 day or less in Indonesia. Otherwise, you’ll need to extend it or pay Rp.1 million / day penalty for over staying in the country.

Another tip:
If you would like to be connected / having internet access whenever there are cellular phone service available, bring an unlocked smartphone with simcard slot available, like old iPhone (prior to iPhone 14). When you exit the arrival gate (after passing through the Customs booth), go to Telkomsel booth to get their internet simcard installed into your unlocked smartphone.
I had them installed the biggest GB data for Rp.500,000 ($35) to an old unlocked iPhone 6 Plus for 30-day internet access and use it as personal Hotspot to my AT&T iPhone 14 Pro Max from US. It works fine.
If that is not an option for you, you can get WiFi access while you’re in Blue Manta for a fee.

Yes. See the address, below. Go to Kantor Imigrasi (Immigration office) and fill out the visa extension form there. You are allowed to extend the VoC for another 30 days.
