No. 35% window tint is illegal in Indonesia under Ministry of Transportation Regulation No. 16/2021. The law mandates a maximum 25% light transmittance for front side windows and 15% for rear side windows, with penalties including fines or vehicle confiscation. Local traffic authorities enforce this strictly, particularly in Jakarta and Surabaya.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Indonesia
- Light Transmittance Limits: Front side windows must allow ≥75% light (≤25% tint), while rear side windows require ≥85% light (≤15% tint) per Article 6(2) of Permenhub 16/2021.
- Front Windshield Restrictions: The entire windshield must remain untinted; any aftermarket film violates Article 7(1).
- Enforcement & Penalties: Local police and traffic units (e.g., Polda Metro Jaya) conduct roadside checks, issuing fines up to IDR 500,000 or seizing vehicles for non-compliance. The 2026 National Traffic Safety Plan may introduce stricter digital monitoring via ANPR cameras.
Non-compliant vehicles risk immediate impoundment, with owners required to remove tinting at their expense before release. Exemptions exist only for medical conditions, requiring prior approval from the Ministry of Health.
