You asked this question before. 

The news is still the same:

Foreigners are generally not allowed to practice the medical arts in Indonesia aside from a few exceptions and extenuating circumstances.

It doesn’t matter if the hospital in Indonesia is an international hospital or one which mostly treats Indonesian citizens.  The fact remains…foreign MD’s are not allowed to practice medicine here except in unusual and extenuating situations.  Two examples of those kind of extenuating situations was the Boxer Day Tsunami and the first Bali bombing where triage specialists and other foreign specialists were allowed to volunteer and offer their assistance.

If Salahedinhezo is totally committed to practicing medicine here in Indonesia then he will need to pursue Indonesian citizenship and also be aware that Indonesia does not allow for dual citizenship.  That process…obtaining Indonesian citizenship is both time consuming and expensive.

While this requirement may seem rather draconian, the fact is that Thailand, which is a well acknowledged leader in “medical tourism” viz, Bumrungrad, the requirements there are similar to here in Indonesia.
