Easy Way to Register IMEI at Indonesian Airport 

It is so ridiculous, they charge 40% tax if you, as a foreigner, want to use your own phone with an Indonesian SIM. I get that they want to fight the illegal import of phones, but this solution is just wrong.

Well, This is More Complicated Then it Was Pre-2018 The Indonesian Customs is Kinda Messed Up.

How is the value calculated my old phone for example might have cost $700 in 2013 but that is not its current value any more, what can I expect?

I get the needs but also kind of sad. IMEI Blacklists were designed to fight mobile phone theft but its now getting used this way. IMEI gets blacklisted after a theft has been reported and carriers share that blacklist. Indonesia took themselves out of it in order to address custom and duty dodging instead. For the record, you need a cellular modem to have an IMEI, if you use your laptop or ipad on wifi only (No SIM Card), then you dont have an IMEI and therefor you do not need to register. This only affect devices with LTE modem from which you plan to use on an Indonesian Cellular Network During your trip. If you plan on using VoIP mostly over wifi internet (No SIM card and No Voice or Data Plan from an Indonesian Cellular Carrier) then you should be fine as long as the border patrol agent has that understanding.

I already reached jakarta and no one from airport customs asked me to register my Mobile imei when I filled the form infront of that officers. Now.. I have to pay 40% tax of the price for my old Mobile. It's so stupid 🙄.. Why they not provide all informations from customs at airport. Not even mentioned in flight booking or other websites. I'm really confused about the idea behind this rule and now I decided to use wifi and make WhatsApp calls and messages only during stay..

Can you please write the name of the website & application here? I can't grasp it only by hearing! Thank you 🙏

New Indonesian way to squeeze tourists 🤣

As an indonesian living abroad the Country I found this also very difficult to go back my home town with my family ! totally ridiculous !! Idk its is really for safety but actually this is one of the reason tourism in Indonesia won't back as normal because everything seems arranged to be complicated ! 😭 well if that so how about tourist purchase Sim card from Grapari Telkom are better ? Even the validation only temporary but i need my devices keep exists for 45 days !

Kenapa pas saya balik tidak ada petugas sama sekali padahal saya sudah registrasi dan mau scan tidak ada petugas sama sekali dan di suruh buru buru ke tempat karantina. . Tanggal 30 kemarin

Laptops don't have an IMEI, they have Device ID number I think? also foreigners don't have a tax number - I am confused.

How do you register outside of airport, can we pay customs online?

Om mau tanya, kalau sudah dapat pembebasan setelah registrasi karena nilai HP masuk ke dalam kategori USD 500, apakah IMEI harusnya pada saat kita cek di website Kemenperin dalam status terdaftar, karena diteman saya statusnya tetap tidak terdaftar dari Okt 2022...terima kasih sebelumnya🙏

how can an indonesian activate his imported phone

It is very clear that this measure is to combat the illegal trade in the sale of mobile phones but, as a tourist, absolutely i need to keep & use my phone, do i have to pay that 40% tax?? In Pakistan, they ask you to register only without pay anything & you have 60 days, if you stay more then you will have to pay the tax, Does Indonesia have the same system? Or do I have to pay tax directly as soon as I arrive at the airport? Unfortunately, the video is Ambiguous, beside the music is so loud!!!

Going to Indonesia only for 1 or 2 days and this news is simply inconvenient, realizing you have to pay nearly 800k to use your phone for only 2 days 😅 this is so messed up

I did the registration upon arrival my stay here initially for 3 months but now i may stay longer and now as its over 90 days its blocked so any one here who can tell me what should i do now or how to extend or how to re register imei again, i renewed my work visa for 3 more months now.please suggest

Stupid Regulation for tourist and diaspora, and it is definettly going wrong in all aspect and tourism in 2022. Indonesian Custom on 2023 also they will put a Tax on a Kimchi for hand carry 50%. 😂

Just bring a smartphone with international sim-card specifications and buy a local sim card and ask a native to activate the local sim-card with his KAKA document

Teman saya bawa hp s10 dari Malaysia tetap suruh bayar pajak padahal harga dah di bawah 500 dolar, ikut harga pasar padahal suruh bayar 1.5jt

keren

kalau cuma pulang kampung sementara, kenapa harus daftar imei juga?? mau beli simcard turis aja, ygpaspor indo ga boleh Hadeeehhh nyusahin aja

This is so fucked up, have you ever visited foreign country but should pay for IMEI tax just in order to use your phone? If you never, then you should be a shame of yourself.

Tambah pajak banyak duit beli mobil mahal 😅😅

ridiculous rules

nasty background music is too loud and distraction, and girls is so vocaly weak.

Everything in Indonesia is soooo easy 😩

Stupid rules 🤦🏽‍♂️ more corruption
