Hi. You can get a health certificate from any clinic or hospital in the Banyuwangi area. It takes 15 minutes and the price should only be around 30k to 100k Rupiah.

Good morning,

You know until what time it is possible to obtain a medical certificate. Where is the fastest place to get it. Thanks in advance

Hi. We bought our masks for 85k Rupiah on Shopee and had them delivered to our hotel in Bali. Masks are also included with Ijen tours, or you can usually rent them at the entrance for 45k.

Great! Thanks for the update.

The blue fire was excellent, albeit very overcrowded and mismanaged, we saw about a dozen people turned away who had made the trip solo, like I had planned on a scooter.
There are guides waiting around at the entrance point, so it is entirely possible people MAY be able to ride up with the doctors note and hire a local (possibly)
I am guessing that these people either wanted to pay on arrival (Which isn’t possible now) or didn’t have the correct documentation or guide with them, cant say as we didn’t speak to any of them.
So for now the easiest thing is a doctors note for around 100,000Rupiah (£5/$6) which includes weight, height, blood pressure, and heart rate assessment, whole process takes about 1 hour and certificate is issued immediately upon payment.

Sure, thanks! Let us know how your trip goes and I’ll try to keep the article updated as well for anyone reading it in the future.

yea I can imagine the same, but it was more a word of warning for the time being while it is enforced just so as not to catch any unsuspecting visitors to your page out.
It nearly caught me out, although I always research all sites I visit as I don’t usually do tours unless I have to, but even a few of the tour operators i spoke to today as of the 9th Jan when I am doing my trip knew nothing about it.

Thanks, noted, although I expect that rule will probably be short lived (like usual). According to Detik there’s already been some pushback from Indonesians unhappy with the new rule.
