Documents needed when preparing to live in Indonesia
This was good information for us while preparing to move to Indonesia. You should be well prepared with all these documents on record.
Medical records
Obtain immunization records for family members. Request copies of any recent medical tests such as blood tests, EKG, radiology scans and chest X-rays, as well as records for recent surgery, serious illnesses or ongoing medical conditions. Keep records of family members. blood types. Allergies to medication should be noted. If any family member requires prescribed medication, ask your doctor if you could obtain a supply of medication that will last until your next home leave as Indonesian pharmacists may not have the drugs required by your family. Your pharmaceutical purchases abroad may also be covered by insurance at home. Once you have been to Indonesia and know what is available, you will know what you must purchase at home in the future.Dental records will also be useful to bring to Indonesia for any ongoing care. If you are near or far sighted, bring optical prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. These can be filled by opticians in Indonesia.
Academic and employment records
International schools in Indonesia will require copies your child's academic records and a character reference for enrollment processing. This includes any extracurricular activities that your child is currently taking part in. Music assessment records may also be required for your child to continue music lessons in Indonesia. Ask your child's school for copies of curriculum they have followed.
Bring along academic records for your spouse if he/she may seek work in Indonesia. Bring along reference letters proving you and your spouse's past work experience.
Legal documents
Bring notarized copies of your will, power of attorney, birth certificates, name change records, marriage certificate/s, divorce documents, custody agreements as well as photocopies of previous passports and your driver's license.


Does one need a visa to go to Indonesia? If not, then what other requirements do they need? I believe that passport is also needed.
