Starter activities in Indonesia
These rows prove the country hub works as a useful browse page before the full dataset is researched.
bring medical cannabis into a country
BNN says cannabis remains a Group I narcotic under Indonesia’s narcotics law and cannot be used, cultivated or used for treatment outside tightly controlled research discussions. No general traveller exemption for medical cannabis was identified in the official sources reviewed.
download pirated movies
Indonesia's Copyright Act gives creators exclusive economic rights over reproduction and distribution, and using those rights without permission is infringement. Downloading pirated movies is not recognised in the official sources reviewed as a general lawful entertainment exception.
drive without licence
Indonesia requires drivers to hold a valid SIM to drive on the road. Official police guidance says driving without a SIM is a criminal traffic offence.
gamble online
Official Indonesian government sources treat online gambling as illegal and subject to criminal enforcement. The government blocks gambling content and law enforcement pursues online gambling cases under criminal provisions.
bringing duty free goods
Indonesia allows personal passenger goods within official duty-free and tax-free limits. Customs provides a USD500 personal-goods exemption and separate adult excise allowances for limited alcohol and tobacco.
bring electronics without declaring them
Indonesia allows personal passenger goods within the personal-use rules and the passenger exemption, but goods above the allowance or non-personal-use items must be declared and taxed. Customs says the customs declaration is the core passenger import document and should be completed honestly.
bring food into a country
Indonesia allows some food for personal use, but animal and plant products require health certification and official BPOM sources cap processed food for personal consumption brought by a passenger. Non-compliant food can be stopped at the border.
bring tobacco over the allowance
Adult passengers get only a limited excise exemption for tobacco in Indonesia. Customs says excess excisable passenger goods above the allowance are destroyed.
