World Watch® Report from UnitedHealthcare Global

Executive Summary for Indonesia An ethnically and linguistically diverse country, Indonesia consists of 17,000 islands spanning across the Indian and Pacific oceans. The islands, which are generally grouped by , include the Islands, / Island, Island, Island, Islands, Nusa Tenggara/Lesser , /Spice Islands and . Natural attractions ­­ such as beaches, active volcanoes and tropical forests ­­ proliferate across the islands. Diverse marine and wildlife, such as the dragon, serve to distinguish Indonesian biodiversity from the country’s Southeast Asian neighbors. The constitutional republic is the most populous Muslim­majority nation and fourth most populous country in the world.

Indonesia is a politically stable country under the leadership of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. Since coming to office in 2014, Widodo has focused on reforms by attempting to crack down on corruption, end intolerance of minorities and promote economic growth. While continuing sectarian tension, civil unrest, corruption and terrorism have served as impediments to progress, Indonesia’s economy remains the largest in Southeast , and relative political stability continues to attract increasing numbers of foreign investors.

The overall assessment of threats in Indonesia is High. Crime varies according to traveler location on the various islands of Indonesia. has a notably higher crime rate than other locations in the country, while tourist destinations such as Bali experience higher rates of opportunistic theft. Political and economic developments motivate frequent large­scale protests across Indonesia and have the potential to become violent. Separatist movements affect the security environment in some parts of the country, particularly and Papua provinces. Terrorism is a longstanding concern in the country, as evidenced by the 2018 Surabaya church bombings and occasional arrests of extremists and militant sympathizers. Natural disasters are a concern in Indonesia. The country’s position in an area known as the “” makes it prone to seismic activity, and it is not uncommon for powerful and potentially devastating earthquakes to occur. Flooding is also relatively common during the rainy season, which runs from November to March.

Although Indonesia has generally been able to avoid disputes between China and neighboring countries, Indonesia’s claim to the Natuna Islands has threatened this neutrality. An incident in 2016 demonstrated this tension most significantly, when Indonesian naval vessels fired warning shots at a fleet of Chinese ships fishing in waters claimed by Indonesia, injuring one Chinese fisherman. In light of continuous Chinese incursions into Indonesian waters, President Jokowi has increased the country’s military presence on the islands, equipping Natuna with a port and extending the runway of the islands’ Ranai military air base.

Economic Situation

Indonesia’s economy is the largest in Southeast Asia and the country is the only one in the region included in the Group of Twenty (G­20) major global economies. According to recent data, the service sector accounts for the largest percentage of the economy at approximately 45 percent, followed by the manufacturing and agricultural sectors at 22 and 13.5 percent of GDP, respectively. Indonesia recorded a GDP growth of 5.1 percent in 2017; the country is expected to maintain or increase this growth rate in 2018.

Despite an already relatively high and consistent growth rate, economic experts state that Indonesia has the potential to experience 6­8 percent growth rates if the government increases high­value, export­oriented manufacturing and takes advantage of opportunities in tourism, oil and gas. Currently, low­value manufacturing accounts for approximately 60 percent of manufacturing output; however, President Jokowi continues to implement economic policy packages in an effort to attract foreign investors who may expand export­oriented manufacturing. Standard & Poor’s upgrade of Indonesia’s sovereign credit rating to investment grade status in 2017 has assisted in these efforts, as the country has now obtained investment grade status from all three global credit rating agencies. In the tourism sector, Jokowi’s administration has attempted to address declining tourist numbers by expanding visa­free travel and allowing airlines access to additional locations in the country. The administration has also reduced foreign ownership limits of oil and gas in an effort to increase production; however, extensive regulatory issues in this sector remain obstacles to significant growth.

Inadequate infrastructure also remains a critical impediment to Indonesia’s ability to expand economically. The country’s sprawling geography has always presented challenges when it comes to physical connectivity. This shortcoming makes moving goods, services and people across the archipelago difficult and costly, and it makes it problematic for more impoverished areas of the country to take advantage of the same opportunities that are available on the main islands of Sumatra and Java. Jokowi’s administration is expected to take advantage of the country’s new investment grade status to encourage investments in national infrastructure projects. Security Issues Terrorist activity is a major concern, as evidenced by recurring anti­terrorism operations and past incidents in the country. Crime affects the country to varying degrees.

World Watch® Report from UnitedHealthcare Global Social unrest in the form of protests and strikes affect the security environment throughout Indonesia. Separatist movements are present in the Aceh region of Sumatra and the Papua provinces.

Terrorism

The threat of terrorism is a longstanding concern in Indonesia. While anti­terrorism efforts by both the military and the national police force have been successful in targeting terror groups and dismantling their organizational structures, the return of fighters from the Islamic State (IS) and Jabhat Fateh al­Sham (al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria) have counteracted much of the government’s progress. The national police force is currently tracking at least 600 Indonesian nationals living at home and abroad who have allegedly engaged in terrorist activities linked with IS, while the military estimates that secret sleeper terrorist cells are present in almost all of the country's 34 provinces. Returning fighters who are able to re­enter the country come equipped with fighting and organizational experience, as well as better connections to global terror groups, which are considered essential for financing large­scale attacks.

In the most recent example of this threat, in May 2018 three families with suspected ties to IS­affiliated Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) carried out a series of bombings in the province city of Surabaya. The suspects, including children and minors, carried out coordinated attacks on three churches as well as a suicide bombing targeting a police station the following day; 12 people died and more than 40 others were injured in the incidents, marking the deadliest to occur in Indonesia in a decade. The most recent attack to take place in Jakarta occurred in May 2017 when two suicide bombers affiliated with IS detonated explosives packed into pressure cookers near the Kampung Melayu bus terminal, located in a densely populated neighborhood in southeastern Jakarta. The explosions, which appeared intended to target security forces, killed three police officers and injured 12 other people, including six civilians. Prior to this incident, in January 2016 a team of at least five assailants conducted a multi­pronged attack on a cafe and a police post near the Sarinah Mall in central Jakarta. The attack, which was coordinated from Syria by IS member and Indonesian national Bahrun Naim, killed four civilians and injured 23 others.

Historically, the largest domestic terror group in Indonesia has been Jemaah Islamiyah; however, the government made great strides in dismantling that organization since 2009, and smaller groups affiliated with Islamic State constitute the greatest terror threat. They include JAD, Mujahidin Indonesia Timur and Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid.

Crime

The crime rate in most areas of Indonesia is moderate. Although violent crime primarily affects local citizens, foreign travelers have been the victim of violent crimes in the past. Incidents of banditry during road travel occur on occasion, and violent home invasions are a concern.

Crimes of opportunity ­­ including burglary, armed robbery, road banditry, scams and petty theft ­­ are the primary concerns for travelers to the country. Criminals frequently target foreigners for robbery. Motorcycle­borne robbers usually drive beside their victim, tearing away or cutting the victim's bag off with a knife, sometimes injuring the victim in the process. To reduce exposure to this type of crime, travelers should avoid walking next to the street and try to enter vehicles from the sidewalk rather than the street to the extent possible. Travelers should observe basic security precautions such as locking all entry points to their rooms, securing their valuables, refusing solicitations from strangers, remaining constantly aware of their surroundings (especially of potential threats), not walking alone at night or in remote areas, and not flaunting valuables or money.

Incidents of credit card fraud and express kidnappings ­­ a form of kidnapping where perpetrators drive the victim to ATM machines to withdraw as much money as possible and then release them ­­ have increased. Kidnappers who use this method often target women.

Protests and Social Unrest

Protests occur on a regular basis throughout the country. Protests having to do with national politics and economic issues can take place in most cities, but they are most pronounced in Jakarta, Surabaya and Medan. These protests can at times involve tens of thousands of people, but the majority are conducted without any violence or major disruptions. When violence does take place, authorities are likely to deploy security forces to forcibly disperse the crowds.

An issue of substantial concern is the rise of conservative Islamist groups, primarily the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), which now has approximately 3,000 members across Indonesia. Rather than take part in militant activity, groups like the FPI have

World Watch® Report from UnitedHealthcare Global sought to foster grassroots opposition to secularism, Christianity and non­Sunni denominations of Islam. Members of the FPI have carried out protests and raids against businesses or events percieved to offend the interests of Islam; these activities are particularly common during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan as well as dates commemorating important dates in other religions. Many of these raids result in violence, and several people have either been killed or injured in the past.

Travelers should note that there is an increased threat of violent protests across the country in the run­up to local elections on 27 June 2018. Sectarian violence may also increase, as politicians attempt to win supporters by taking a hardline stance on members of the Christian, Chinese, LGBT or other minority community.

Separatist Movements

The Indonesian government has grappled with the issue of separatism for decades. Most of those conflicts have been resolved, but certain issues, namely the Papuan independence movement in the Papua provinces and the Aceh separatist movement in western Sumatra, still present a security challenge to the Indonesian government and any businesses that wish to conduct operations there.

Papua

The movement for an independent Papua, which includes both and Papua provinces, has the potential to affect business travelers to Indonesia. While the conflict is far removed from Jakarta, it can have a significant impact on Western businesses, particularly those in the extractive industries, which is a substantial percentage of the Papua region’s economic output. Clashes between members of the Free Papua Movement and government forces happen regularly, particularly in the densely forested Jaya region. The Indonesian government maintains a vast security apparatus in the two provinces, including secret police and a network of informants. The situation in the region attracts considerable criticism from the human rights community. Approximately 100,000 Papuans have died since Indonesia took control of the region in 1963, indicating the extent of violent conflict.

Aceh

The province of Aceh, located in northern Sumatra, is currently governed by locals as a semi­autonomous area capable of enforcing its own laws. A 2005 peace agreement ended hostilities between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the government, granted amnesty to GAM rebels and conceded a limited self­government to the Aceh province. Thus far the peace agreement has been observed by government officials and GAM leaders.

While the overall security outlook for the province is stable, travelers should note that Aceh is the only Indonesian province to implement Shariah law, or Islamic religious law, and penalties have become increasingly severe. In 2017 authorities carried out a caning of two men accused of homosexual acts in front of a crowd of hundreds of spectators, drawing widespread international condemnation. Although the provincial government announced plans to move the punishment indoors, dozens of public canings have taken place over 2018, for crimes ranging from public displays of affection to gambling. Travelers to the province should take extra precautions to avoid offending the modesty of the province's conservative Muslim population, as well as inadvertently breaking the law in Aceh.

Police

Assistance from the Indonesian National Police (INP) is slow and ineffective. In general, the security force appears interested in deterring crime, but it lacks the funding, equipment, manpower and vehicles to do so effectively. Police force response times range from 30 minutes to several hours.

Country Tips

Travelers should not use cell phones in plain sight when traveling in a vehicle, especially when stopped. This can lead to unwanted attention from criminals. Foreigners should not wear any clothing or markings that identify their nationality or corporate affiliation. Travelers should note that the dry season ­­ which takes place roughly from May­October ­­ is often accompanied by heavy pollution produced by deforestation fires in the western part of the country. Such pollution has the potential to significantly reduce visibility in the affected areas, and often causes respiratory illness that can lead to death. Tap water in Indonesia is generally considered unsafe to consume.

World Watch® Report from UnitedHealthcare Global Customs/Immigration The Entry Requirements section reflects the most correct and up­to­date information to the best knowledge of UnitedHealthcare Global. Setting requirements for entry into the country is the sole prerogative of each country’s government, and requirements may change, sometimes with little or no prior notice. Travelers should always contact the diplomatic representation of the country prior to departure to verify entry requirements.

Passports and Visas

Passports (valid for six months after arrival) are required upon entry into Indonesia. There are three ways of entering the country: through visa waiver, visa on arrival (VOA) and visa in advance. Indonesia grants visa­free travel for up to 30 days to citizens of 169 countries. This is not extendable and does not allow the traveler to work in the country. Visas on arrival cost USD35 and can be issued to nationals of more than 65 countries. The VOA is generally extendable one time for a period of 30 days. Nationals of countries ineligible for the visa waiver or VOA programs must apply for visas through the nearest Indonesia embassy or consulate. Visas obtained through embassies or consulates range in price from USD50­100. The citizens of Afghanistan, Israel, Albania, North Korea, Angola, Nigeria, , Cameroon, Somalia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana, Tonga, Iraq require special approval from the Indonesian immigration services head office in Jakarta prior to travel, and must have a personal or company sponsor in the country.

Visitors should expect difficulty in obtaining permission to travel to or in the far eastern of Poso or West Papua. The Indonesian government may impose restrictions on travel within the country for some foreign travelers.

Health

Certificate of a yellow fever vaccination is required for all travelers over 9 months of age who are arriving from an infected area.

Entry/Departure Taxes

There is no airport tax levied on passengers upon embarkation at Indonesian airports. Departure taxes are included in the price of the departing flight.

Imports and Exports

Travelers may import up to 200 cigarettes, 25 cigars or 100 g of tobacco, and one 1 liter bottle of alcohol. Other items that are allowed are: a reasonable amount of perfume for personal use and a maximum of USD250 of personal goods per passenger (USD1,000 per family.) However, visitors should confirm that their items are legal under Indonesian law prior to arrival. For example, certain restrictions, fines and/or punishments may apply to items made from endangered species, as Indonesia is a member of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Indonesia also prohibits the import of pornographic material, fruit, cordless phones or commercial items substituted as baggage such as cardboard boxes. Furthermore, video and audio recorders, binoculars, film and sporting goods may only be imported by holders of tourist visas provided that they will be exported upon departure.

Travelers may import and export a maximum of IDR100,000,000 or the eqivalent in foreign currencies. All amounts exceeding IDR 100,000,000 must be approved by the Central Bank or External Affairs; equivalent amounts in foreign currency must be declared. Currency The official currency is the Indonesian rupiah (Rp/IDR). Coins are available in denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 rupiahs while banknote values range from 1,000 to 100,000 rupiahs. Cash (rupiah and U.S. dollars) is the preferred method of payment at establishments in Indonesia. Many major hotels and large businesses accept credit cards, but smaller operations usually do not. Travelers should also be aware that credit card fraud has become increasingly common in the region, and using cash can help guard against theft of one's personal information.

Travelers may have difficulty locating ATMs that use the same network as the provider of their ATM card; they should consult with their respective card issuers for confirmation that they can access their accounts in Indonesia. Banks may refuse to exchange rupiah for foreign currency that is torn or tattered. Businesses in rural areas and remote islands accept only local currency. Communications Indonesia has a fairly reliable telecommunications infrastructure for mobile phones in large cities. Rural areas generally rely on

The official language is Bahasa Indonesian, a variety of Malay; however, approximately 300 other languages and dialects are also spoken around the archipelago. Of these languages, Javanese is the most common with more than 70 million speakers. English and Dutch are the leading international languages.

Cultural Tips

Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population. As in other predominantly Islamic countries, using the left hand to pass or receive objects is considered very impolite. Consequently, visitors should use their right hand to eat or drink. Due to Indonesia's size and the fact that it is an archipelago composed of more than 16,000 islands, customs and mannerisms may vary subtly or significantly throughout the country. While the government is nominally secular and freely democratic, authorities generally follow sometimes repressive Muslim religious conventions. Officials often favor the strict interests of Islam ahead of the voice of other minority religious communities. Visitors should refrain from discussing political or religious issues as this may draw unwanted attention. There is a general underlying tension between the conservative Muslim population and the growing pervaisiveness of Western Christian influence in Indonesia. Such tensions can spark religious violence, and visitors should be respectful around churches, mosques and other religious sites. When shaking hands, most use a medium to light touch rather than a hearty shake. Some Muslims put their hands together in a prayer position and offer a slight nod when greeting another, especially if they are of the opposite sex. Being polite to officials of any sort is usually a good idea. Indonesians tend to frown upon on public displays of anger, so the most effective way of handling minor hassles is to smile and deal patiently with the situation. Indonesians smile to initiate social contact. It is considered polite to return the smile, even if making eye contact with a stranger. Visitors should drink only bottled or boiled water, and avoid uncooked foods, including vegetables. Visitors should also brush their teeth using only bottled or boiled water. Tipping is not uncommon in Indonesia; although, most hotels and restaurants include a 10 percent service charge in the bill making tipping unnecessary. The standard for gratuities at restaurants with no service charge is between 5 and 10 percent of the bill. Shoes are taken off before entering a home. The "thumbs up" sign usually signals someone to go first. Visitors should avoid public displays of affection with someone of the opposite sex. The soles of one's feet should not be pointed at another person. Also, one should never position their feet above another person's head, as this is very offensive.

World Watch® Report from UnitedHealthcare Global When speaking to someone, visitors should not put their hands on their hips. Visitors should note that many ethnic Indonesians are biased against ethnic Chinese Indonesians, as they are considered a wealthy minority and seen as having taken advantage of the local/indigenous population. In the past, Indonesians have harassed, brutalized and/or killed ethnic Chinese Indonesians.

Tips for Female Travelers

Female travelers are often seen by criminals as particularly vulnerable targets. In highly conservative cultures, foreign women may be perceived as promiscuous, inviting unwelcome or violent advances. Female travelers, in turn, are likely to encounter cultural mores that may initially seem startling or offensive. The purpose of this section is to apprise female travelers of such attitudes and customs, offer means to respond without giving offense, and promote a heightened sense for security among female travelers. The information offered below is not intended as advice, nor is it necessarily comprehensive in presenting the challenges female travelers may face. UnitedHealthcare Global encourages female travelers to thoroughly research the areas to which they travel to determine what precautionary measures to take and what to do should they become victims of crime while traveling.

Foreign women should dress conservatively (i.e. long pants, T­shirts and knee­length shorts) when traveling in Indonesia, particularly when entering religious buildings, where they must take care to cover their shoulders and legs. Although the dress code may be slightly liberal in resort areas such as Bali, women should always observe and attempt to emulate the way local women dress. Foreign women should note that, despite the fact that some women may participate in nude or topless sun bathing, the local population often considers it offensive. It is also important to note that the climate is particularly humid and visitors often sweat a lot. Therefore, women should avoid wearing clothing that may cling or become transparent when wet. Verbal sexual harassment is a concern in Indonesia, although this is usually targeted at foreign women traveling alone. Foreign women should refrain from traveling alone and take common sense precautions (i.e. do not open the door to strangers or, in some cases, even to acquaintances, do not walk alone at night, do not leave drinks unattended and always keep an eye on drinks, including when they are being mixed and poured.) Foreign women should use only licensed and well­known taxi services due to the higher probability of falling victim to crime in unlicensed taxis. Foreigners, especially women, should consider carrying their own toilet paper, moist towelettes or anti­bacterial/cleaning lotions, as even soap and water are not always available. However, due to low water pressure, discard toilet paper only in wastebaskets. Women should note that Western women are usually seen as promiscuous and on vacation for sexual relations (primarily due to Western cinema), which may lead to additional, but non­violent, attention from local men. Indonesians often like to ask personal questions, such as those regarding one's marital status or number of children.

Hospital Information

The quality of medical care in Indonesia is below international standards. Adequate care can generally be found in Jakarta, Jogjakarta, Surabaya and Bali, but elsewhere medical care may be severely limited, characterized by uncomfortable hospital accommodations and a general lack of up­to­date equipment. Hygienic standards are low and public hospitals lack adequate medications and supplies. Primary care and some secondary care are available in selected facilities in major cities but UnitedHealthcare Global may recommend evacuation in cases of serious medical conditions or emergencies requiring complex surgery, invasive procedures, blood transfusion, or if long hospitalization is required. Foreign physicians are not licensed to practice in Indonesia and, if there, they work as "consultants" under an Indonesian colleague. Likewise, Indonesian physicians are not likely to study abroad as the medical diploma obtained would not be recognized in Indonesia. This policy does not encourage international training of Indonesian medical staff. No hospital information was found for this location.
