For information, Jakarta Govenrment requires Exit and Entry Permit (SIKM) document for Jakarta residents who want to exit Jabodetabek and Jakarta residents who are outside of Jabodetabek who want to enter Jakarta.

From May 15 to June 3, total 630,825 users have accessed SIKM service from site https://corona.jakarta.go.id/id/izin-keluar-masuk-jakarta and Jakarta Government has issued 49,483 SIKMs. While 4,524 proposals are still in process.

In 3 days, Jakarta PMPTSP can verify more than 21,000 proposals because it still operates even on national holidays and weekends.

From total proposals received by PMPTSP, only 8.6 percent or 4,265 proposals that met the requirements thus SIKM could be issued electronically; 76.9 percent or 38,052 proposals were rejected; while 2,642 proposals should wait for validation by the guarantor.

"We remind people to be wiser in applying for SIKM because PMPTSP often find request that don't meet the requirements for SIKM. Such as applicants whose work is not related with 11 sectors that allowed to operate in Jakarta," she mentioned.
