Can you bring a drone to Indonesia?

• Drones

  depends on specifics

  Nationally, Indonesia doesn't restrict bringing a drone through customs and doesn't require registration or a licence for recreational flying of Open Category drones under 25kg, per Ministry of Transportation Regulation PM 37/2020. Bali is a documented exception: local reporting describes a 2025 directive requiring pre-arrival drone registration through the SIPP-TA/SIPUDI system for all drone weights before flying there.

  The national regulation (PM 37/2020) is confirmed via Indonesia's official legal-database domains, though not read as full primary text in this pass. The Bali-specific 2025 registration directive is secondary-sourced only and should be treated as unconfirmed until a primary DGCA Indonesia document is found — don't assume it applies outside Bali.
