As a foreigner who plans to visit Indonesia for a short stay less than 90 days, there is no need to register your imported devices’ (cell phone, handheld computer, and/or tablet) IMEI numbers.
However, those who stay for more than 90 days may register their IMEI on arrival.
Swipe the infographics above for more information regarding IMEI registration, or simply access bit.ly/FAQ-IMEI.

They still need to register your IMEI number. Any local shop can register it as a tourist phone.
Enjoy your holiday !

I’m a foreigner. Registering IMEI is free but u will be taxed on your phone and other items you brought in. Just because registering will allow me to use the local SIM card. I’ve been to other countries but do not face such rule. The authorities will have relook into this.
