JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The Transportation Ministry has retracted a ban on international tourists entering Indonesia via Soekarno-Hatta airport that came about due to incorrect wording in a recently issued circular letter.

A previous ministry circular letter No.11/2022 issued on Sunday (Feb 6) stated that foreign tourists and returning Indonesians from overseas vacation "may only enter" through the Bali, Batam and Bintan airports, a list that excludes the airports in Jakarta and every other region.
