Indonesia Introduces New Digital Arrival Form for All Travelers

 

Starting September 1, 2025, Indonesia will launch a Digital Arrival Form that every international traveler — whether visiting for tourism, business, or even Indonesian citizens returning home — must complete in addition to their visa (e-VOA, e-Visa, or VOA).

This new system combines immigration, customs, health, and quarantine declarations into a single online platform, replacing multiple separate forms previously required. 

Rollout Schedule

• September 1, 2025: Pilot phase at three major international airports:

  • Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta / CGK)

  • Bali (Ngurah Rai / DPS)

  • Surabaya (Juanda / SUB)

• October 1, 2025: Expansion to all international airports across Indonesia, including Medan, Makassar, Manado, Komodo, and Sumatra. Authorities also plan to extend the system to land and sea checkpoints later.

Travelers must complete the form within 72 hours (3 days) before arrival, and it is completely free of charge.

The form can be submitted online at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id

Why This Matters

This digital arrival system replaces older forms such as SATUSEHAT and the Electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD). By consolidating everything into one platform, Indonesia aims to make border control faster, easier, and paperless for both travelers and officials.

For visitors, it means less confusion and a smoother entry process — as long as you complete the form on time before your flight.

How to fill out Indonesia Arrival Card

On Arrival in Indonesia

After submitting the form, travelers will receive a QR code. This must be shown at immigration and customs checkpoints along with your passport.

• If you fail to complete the form before traveling, you can still enter Indonesia. However, you’ll need to fill it out upon arrival, which may cause delays at Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) counters. 

What You’ll Need to Complete the Form

Before submitting, prepare the following details:

• Personal details: nationality, full name, date of birth, passport number & expiry date, contact number, email.

• Travel details: arrival and departure dates, visa number (e-VOA, KITAS, or KITAP if applicable).

• Transport details: flight number, vessel details, and port of entry.

• Accommodation: hotel name or full residential address in Indonesia.

• Declarations:

  • Countries visited recently

  • Any current health symptoms

  • Items to declare (food, electronics, restricted goods, etc.)

  • Number of checked bags

  •  IMEI numbers of mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops)
