Indonesia to Require Digital Arrival Card From October 2025: How to Prepare

Indonesia is making big changes to its entry process for international travellers. Starting September 1, 2025, the country will begin rolling out a new digital arrival card called “All Indonesia.” At first, it will only be required at the international airports of;

• Jakarta (CGK)
• Denpasar-Bali (DPS)
• Surabaya (SUB)

However, starting from October 1, 2025, the requirement will expand to every international airport in the country.

What is the “All Indonesia” Arrival Card?

The arrival card is a digital form that all international travellers must complete in addition to their visa (e-VoA, e-Visa, or visa-on-arrival). It brings together checks from immigration, customs, health, and quarantine into one system, replacing the separate processes used before.

Rollout Schedule

• September 1, 2025: Launch at Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), and Surabaya (SUB) international airports.
• October 1, 2025: Expansion to all international airports, including Medan, Makassar, Manado, Komodo, and Sumatra.
• Land and sea border posts may also join the system starting October 1.

How to Complete the Form

Travellers can submit the arrival card online up to three days before entering Indonesia. The process is free and applies to everyone, including Indonesian citizens. The form can be filled out via:

If you forget to do it in advance, you can still enter Indonesia. On arrival, travellers will need to scan a QR code at the airport and complete the card online before clearing customs and immigration.

What You’ll Need to Complete the Arrival Card

When filling out the “All Indonesia” arrival card, keep these details ready:

Personal Information

• Nationality, full name, date of birth
• Passport number and expiry date
• Contact details (phone and email)

Travel Plans

• Arrival and departure dates
• Visa, KITAS, or KITAP number (if applicable)

Transport Information

• Flight or vessel details
• Airline or ship name
• Airport or port of entry

Accommodation

• Hotel name or full address of stay

Declarations

• Any current health symptoms
• Recently visited countries
• Items you’re bringing in (food, plants, electronics, etc.)
• Number of checked bags
• IMEI numbers for phones, tablets, and laptops

Other Forms You Need to Fill

If you arrive at an airport or port not yet covered, you’ll still need to submit the SATUSEHAT health pass and complete the e-CD customs form. Once ‘All Indonesia’ is active nationwide, these steps will be merged into the single platform.

Why Filling It Out Early Matters

Completing the form before your trip will save time. Passengers who wait until arrival may face longer delays at CIQ (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine) checkpoints while their details are processed.

Final Thoughts

For travellers, the new “All Indonesia” arrival card is more about preparation than complication. Filling it out in advance will make entry smoother, avoid delays at the airport, and ensure you’re ready for Indonesia’s updated border procedures in 2025.
