Indonesia
Indonesia has no freedom of panorama, so selling images of modern landmarks needs permission; the ancient temples are old enough to be public domain.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site management for heritage and temple shoots; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial shoots and heritage sites (Borobudur, Prambanan) charge fees
Personal photography needs no permit. Heritage and temple sites require permits and fees for commercial gear. Avoid military and government installations.
Drone / airspace
Regulated by the DGCA; drones over 2kg or beyond hobby use need permits, with restrictions near airports and heritage sites
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph in public, but publishing an identifiable person's image without consent can breach the 2022 Personal Data Protection Law
Get consent before commercial publication.
Freedom of panorama
Restricted (no freedom of panorama)
Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014 lists no panorama exception, so you generally cannot sell images of copyrighted modern buildings or public art. Copyright runs life plus 70 years; older monuments are public domain.
Practical notes
- Borobudur and Prambanan restrict tripods and commercial gear and charge for shoots; arrange a permit in advance.
- Selling a print of a modern Jakarta tower or public sculpture can infringe, with no panorama defense.
