Apple's mobile phone can only be single card in Indonesia.

From September 15, 2020, all devices that use Indonesian local SIM cards and have not been used on local SIM cards before April 18, 2020 must be registered in the national database of the customs website here with their internal IMEI numbers. After filling in and submitting the online form, a QR code will be generated, which must be saved and submitted to the customs upon arrival to complete the registration process.

It is worth noting that there are value restrictions and tariff obligations: everyone who arrives in Indonesia can use the above procedures to register two pieces of equipment with a value of less than 500 dollars for free, but more equipment or equipment with a value of more than 500 dollars will be taxed by more than 40% (30% if you have an Indonesian tax number). If you forget to submit the form before arrival or show the QR code to the customs after arrival, registering after arrival will result in the full value of the mobile phone being taxed, regardless of the price or quantity. Travel calls using international roaming are not affected, but if you use a local SIM card, your device will be blocked.
