Additionally, the embassy advised Indonesians to postpone or avoid travel to areas affected by the escalating conflict, particularly those that may pose threats to personal safety and public order.
Indonesian citizens were also reminded to secure their passports, identification cards, and ATM cards, and to prepare an emergency go-bag containing essential items in case an urgent evacuation becomes necessary.
The embassy encouraged WNI in Oman to register themselves through the Peduli WNI online platform managed by Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry. This step aims to facilitate communication and coordination should the situation further deteriorate.
For emergencies, Indonesians in Oman can contact the Muscat Embassy’s emergency hotline via WhatsApp at +968-9600-0210 to receive immediate consular assistance.
