Time in Tarakan, Indonesia

Time zone: WITA (UTC/GMT +08:00) — Asia/Makassar

Tarakan runs on WITA. That places it 8 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+08:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select Asia/Makassar.

Tarakan does not change its clocks. The same UTC+08:00 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.

Tarakan is one of 144 Indonesia cities here, spread over 4 time zones; do not assume the rest of the country reads the same clock.

Population: about 242,786 — 22nd largest of the 113 Indonesia cities indexed here.

Current gap between Tarakan and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

Where the two working days actually meet, expressed in Tarakan local time.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

Same zone, same time — each of these sits on Asia/Makassar alongside Tarakan, including through any clock change.
