Indonesia has 4 license classes:
Penegak - Advanced
Penggalang - General
Siaga - Novice
Pemula - Entry Level
The entry level license in Indonesia permits the use of 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands with 10 watts output after passing a straight forward rules, regulations and operating type exam lasting just 20 minutes.
The exam appears to be set to meet the required amateur radio standards defined in ITU Recommendation M.1544-1 - https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/m/R-REC-M.1544-1-201509-I!!PDF-E.pdf
