Indonesia doesn't recognize such a thing. To fly from Surabaya to Jakarta regardless of it being the initial leg of an international flight, requires a negative PCR test because that's the rule for domestic travel.

He can get a driver to drive him 10 hours to Jakarta to start his flight home and he'll also have a negative antigen test, but before he does we want to know whether the airport will have a checkpoint to check all passengers for a negative PCR test? Has anyone departed Jakarta recently and know if there's a checkpoint for all passengers to see documentation of a negative PCR test or does he just need to satisfy the airline requirements for the destination? Thank you for anything you can share!
