On 15 August 2026 a 7.7 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of East Nusa Tenggara, causing a number of fatalities and injuries. There has also been widespread damage to infrastructure and buildings in the region. Strong aftershocks have happened and may continue to occur. If you are in the Flores Islands you should follow the advice of local authorities including any evacuation orders.
New Zealanders in the region should expect travel delays, contact your airline or travel agent for updates prior to travelling to airports.
New Zealanders needing assistance can contact the 24/7 consular emergency line on +64 99 20 20 20
There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. Indonesia has a higher threat of terrorism, and areas where tourists and foreigners visit, such as embassies, hotels, and bars, are possible targets.
Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Indonesia should be aware of are:
New Zealanders travelling or living in Indonesia should have a comprehensive travel insurance policy in place that includes provision for medical evacuation by air and coverage for high risk adventure activities.
See below for detailed travel advice.
Indonesia does not recognise dual nationality (over the age of 18). This may limit your access to New Zealand consular assistance. New Zealand consular assistance will be provided to those who entered Indonesia on a New Zealand passport and who do not hold Indonesia citizenship. Travellers should read our advice on dual citizenship.
