Indonesia — Legal Help

Sex work illegal. Critical: 2022 penal code criminalises ALL extramarital sex (effective Jan 2026), including for foreigners. Aceh applies Sharia (caning). LGBT+ severely criminalised in some provinces. Bali still relatively permissive culturally but legal exposure now real.

Embassies & consular help

If you are detained, ask police to notify your embassy — they can provide a lawyer list and consular visits, but cannot pay fees or intervene in the case.

Locations from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), verified 2026-07-23. Confirm the emergency number on your embassy's official site before travelling.
