Indonesia: boom in international arrivals and economic repositioning

In the first five months of 2023, Indonesia recorded the arrival of 4.12 million international visitors, representing a 4-fold increase over the same period in 2022, as indicated by figures from the National Statistics Office.

In May, the number of foreign visitors to Indonesia was 9.21 % higher than in April, an increase attributed to various international events. Statistics show that the Southeast Asian country welcomed 945,590 tourists in May, compared with 865,810 in April.

What's more, the World Bank has placed Indonesia in the top bracket of middle-income countries, according to the Indonesian president Joko Widodo. This year, Indonesia regained its ranking as gross national income per capita rose to 4,580 USD, an improvement on last year's 4,140 USD, which had kept it in lower-middle income status for the second year running due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The World Bank classifies countries into 4 economic groups: low income (USD 1,135), lower middle income (USD 1,136 to 4,465), upper middle income (USD 4,446 to 13,845) and high income (over USD 13,845).

There are no longer any health restrictions on travel to Indonesia

Since June 9, 2023, travel to the Indonesian archipelago no longer requires a Covid-19 vaccination certificate. The Indonesian authorities in charge of coronavirus management announced in Circular (SE) No. 1 of 2023, published last month, that vaccination is now recommended rather than mandatory for entry into the country.
