If You're Traveling Over 250 km, You Must Show Your Vaccine Card

You need to be prepared because from now on there is a new regulation circular. This is a requirement for travel using land transportation. 

The Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has just released Circular Letter No. SE 90/2021.

This is regarding the Amendment to the Circular Letter of the Minister of Transportation No. SE 86/2021 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Land Transportation during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

"Through SE 90/2021, we at the Directorate General of Hubdat would like to convey that the perpetrators of long trips by land and crossing transportation modes with a minimum distance of 250 km or a travel time of 4 hours to and from Java and Bali must show a vaccine card at least the first dose," Budi said through his statement, Monday (1/11/2021).

"Meanwhile, a certificate of RT-PCR results is needed for a maximum of 3×24 hours or antigen for a maximum of 1×24 hours before the trip," he continued.

The provisions of the travel requirements apply to users of individual motor vehicles, motorcycles, public motor vehicles, and crossing transportation.

Meanwhile, long-distance travelers by land transportation and ferry transportation from and to areas outside Java and Bali Island are also required to show a vaccine card at least the first dose and a certificate of RT-PCR results a maximum of 3×24 hours or antigen a maximum of 1×24 hours before travel.

"We began to apply this certificate effectively as of October 27, 2021. And with SE 90/2021 it is valid until a limit to be determined later and can be extended according to the needs in the field.

Therefore, he appealed to regional leaders, both Governors, Mayors, the Covid-19 Task Force at the central and regional levels, UPT Ditjen Hubdat, and all land transportation infrastructure providers to coordinate and supervise the implementation of this regulation in the regions.

In addition, for drivers and assistant drivers of logistics vehicles traveling domestically in the Java Island and Bali Island areas, the following provisions apply:
