Is it true that the Embassy reminds China citizens not to tip when entering and leaving Indonesia?

March 1 1 The website of the China Embassy in Indonesia in March 1 1 announced that in view of the phenomenon that China citizens were asked for tips when entering and leaving Indonesia, Judy, Consul General of the China Embassy in Indonesia, recently met with Hadono, Acting Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Indonesian Immigration Department, and Kaharuddin, Director of the Immigration Department of Su Jianuo Hada International Airport.

Judy said during the meeting that in recent years, with the rapid development of China-Indonesia relations, more and more China citizens have come to Indonesia for tourism and business. Recently, the Embassy received some complaints from China citizens that they were asked for tips by immigration officials at the airport when they entered and exited Indonesia. It is hoped that the Indonesian side will attach great importance to this matter and immediately take effective measures to prevent this kind of phenomenon from happening again and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China citizens. This is also in Indonesia's interest.

Both Hadono and Kaharuddin said that Indonesian Immigration Bureau attached great importance to complaints from China citizens, and asking for tips was the behavior of individual immigration officials. Once found, those involved will be severely punished. Indonesia welcomes China tourists to complain to Indonesia in time through the Embassy of China in Indonesia.

The Embassy of China in Indonesia once again reminds China citizens who come to Indonesia for tourism and business: Don't tip Indonesian immigration officials when entering or leaving the country. At the same time, abide by relevant Indonesian laws and regulations. In case of emergency such as asking for tips, please contact the Embassy and Consulate of China in Indonesia in time.
