Although Stated Negative, Immigration Monitor One Chinese Citizens Enter Karimun

TRIBUNBATAM.id - The Directorate General (Dirjen) of Immigration for Republic Indonesia prohibits the entry of foreigners from China to Indonesia.

This applies after Director General of Immigration issued regulations related to preventing Corona virus outbreaks.

The Immigration Regulation is contained in Permenkumham Number 3 Year 2020, Article 5 paragraph (1), (2) and (3).

Immigration Offices throughout Indonesia have temporarily suspended the granting of visa-free or on-arrival visas to every citizen of People's Republic of China.

In addition, foreigners who within the past 14 days were in People's Republic of China were also not permitted to enter Indonesia.

"This rule comes into force from February 5, 2020 until February 29, 2020. But the possibility can be extended," said Head of Immigration Office of Class II Tanjungbalai Karimun, Darmunansyah.

Darmunansyah mentioned the day before the regulation took effect, or on February 4, a Chinese citizen headed to Karimun.

The foreigner arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport and underwent immigration and checks by Port Health Office (KKP).

Then he continued his journey to Batam City.

In Batam, he was again examined by Immigration and KKP officers.

"From Batam he headed for Karimun. We coordinated with Batam KKP and Karimun KKP. The results of the examination were negative," Darmunansyah said.

Although declared negative, foreigners from People's Republic of China are still monitored by Tanjungbalai Karimun Immigration officers.
