Indonesia intriduced the All Indonesia Arrival Card—a unified digital travel declaration platform for all international travellers.

What Is the “All Indonesia” Arrival Card?

The All Indonesia Arrival Card is a free, fully digital form designed to simplify entry procedures. It merges declarations for immigration, customs, health, and quarantine into one seamless submission, replacing paper-based or separate online forms such as SATUSEHAT (health declaration) and e-CD (customs).

What You Need to Know: Key Details at a Glance

  • Filing Window: Complete the form up to 3 days (72 hours) before arrival via the official website or mobile app. It takes approximately 2.5 minutes to fill.
  • Transport: It must be completed both when entering by air and sea.
  • Submission Process: Upon completion, you’ll receive a QR code via email. This must be presented—on your device or printed—at customs and immigration upon arrival.
  • Fellow Travellers: The All Indonesia Entry Card can be completed in one application for all travellers entering the country together on the same means of transport.
  • Not a Visa: This does not replace your visa requirements. Travelers must still secure the appropriate visa—such as e-VOA, Visa on Arrival, or visa-free entry for eligible nationals. Read all info on your visa for Sumatra.
