From September 2025, all visitors to Indonesia’s most popular destination must complete a new digital entry form within 72 hours of arrival – here’s everything you need to know to avoid delays at immigration.
Planning your next escape to Bali? There’s a crucial new requirement you must complete before boarding your flight. From 1st September 2025, Indonesia has introduced the All Indonesia Declaration Card – a mandatory digital form that streamlines your entry process into the Island of the Gods.
What Is the All Indonesia Declaration Card?
The All Indonesia Declaration Card is a unified digital portal that consolidates immigration, customs, and health procedures into a single form, replacing multiple separate processes like SATUSEHAT health declarations and electronic customs declarations. Think of it as your one-stop digital entry solution – but remember, it doesn’t replace your visa requirements.
Key Dates and Locations
The rollout follows a phased approach:
- 1st September 2025: Mandatory at Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), and Surabaya (SUB) international airports
- 1st October 2025: Extended to all international airports across Indonesia, including Komodo, Makassar, Manado, Medan, and sea/land border crossings
How to Complete Your Declaration
The process takes approximately 2 minutes and must be completed within 3 days before arrival. Visit the official website select your language and “Foreign Visitor” to register your arrival.
You’ll need to provide:
- Personal details (passport number, nationality, contact information)
- Travel information (flight details, accommodation)
- Health declaration (recent symptoms, countries visited in the last 21 days)
- Customs declaration (luggage count, items requiring declaration)
Upon submission, you’ll receive a QR code via email, which must be presented to immigration and customs officers upon arrival. The service is completely free – avoid third-party websites charging fees for this government service.
Important: This Isn’t Your Visa
The All Indonesia Declaration Card is not a visa. You still need to obtain the correct visa for your visit – whether that’s a Visa on Arrival, e-VOA, or other visa types depending on your nationality. Both applications must be completed at least 48 hours before travel.
What This Means for Sustainable Travel
This digital transformation aligns with sustainable tourism principles by reducing paper waste and streamlining processes. The Indonesian government aims to reduce wait times at airports and improve efficiency in handling incoming passengers while ensuring essential information is gathered securely.
The move also supports Indonesia’s broader tourism strategy. With Bali experiencing increasing visitor numbers, the government is working to balance tourist infrastructure needs with effective visitor management.

- Have your flight details and accommodation information ready
