If Indonesia is calling, there’s one new pre-travel step to check off before you board. As of September 2025, Indonesia has rolled out the All Indonesia Arrival Card, a new digital entry system designed to make the arrival process faster and easier. Think of it as your all-in-one pass through immigration, customs, and health formalities.
Here’s what it means for your trip, and how to make sure your arrival is as effortless as the days that follow.
The basics: One form, all done
The All Indonesia Arrival Card replaces multiple forms with one simple online process. You’ll no longer need to fill out:
- The old Immigration Arrival Card
- The Customs Declaration (e-CD)
- The Health Declaration / SATUSEHAT Pass
- Any quarantine or health forms
Every traveller needs to complete it—even infants. And yes, it’s free. Just remember: this card doesn’t replace a visa. You’ll still need a valid visa or Visa on Arrival (VOA), depending on your nationality.
When and where you’ll need it
Starting 1 October 2025, the card is required at all international entry points, including airports, seaports, and land borders across Indonesia. That means whether you’re flying into Bali before a domestic connection, arriving directly in Labuan Bajo, or embarking at Sorong or Serangan Harbour, the new form applies to you. Completing it in advance will save you valuable time upon arrival.
How to do it (and when)
You’ll need to fill out the form within three days of your arrival. To do so, visit allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or download the All Indonesia mobile app (Apple/Android). Don’t fill it out too early, as the system only accepts submissions within 72 hours of your landing. Then, enter your personal and passport details, travel dates, visa type, flight number, and place of stay, as well as answer a few health and customs questions.
Accuracy matters here; even a small typo in your passport number can cause hold-ups at immigration. If you’re bringing dive electronics, drones, lithium batteries, or other gear, declare them honestly to avoid any issues.
Once you’ve submitted the form, you’ll receive a QR code via email or directly in the app. Take a screenshot and keep it accessible—airport Wi-Fi can be spotty, and you’ll need to show the QR code at immigration and customs.
If you forget to complete the card in advance, you can still do it upon arrival using self-service kiosks, but be prepared for longer queues and slower processing times. To make your journey smoother, complete it before you fly and sail through the arrival process with ease.
