Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.

Indonesia is party to the and Maldives to the 1968 Vienna Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Maldives to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Indonesia.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
