Planning a trip to Bali in 2025? There’s a brand-new update that every traveler needs to know about before they fly. Starting 18 August 2025, Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport introduced a new digital arrival system called “All Indonesia.”
This new online arrival card is designed to make the entry process faster and easier by combining multiple forms into one. But if you’re confused about what it means for your upcoming trip, don’t worry. In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything step by step in plain English.
What Is the “All Indonesia” Online Arrival Card?
Think of the All Indonesia card as a one-stop form you fill out before you fly. It combines:
- Your Customs Declaration (what you’re bringing into the country)
- Your Health Pass (replacing SATUSEHAT)
Instead of juggling multiple paper or digital forms, you now just fill out one online form before you arrive in Bali (or anywhere else in Indonesia as the rollout expands).
When Did It Start?
The new system launched on 18 August 2025 as a trial at Bali airport (Ngurah Rai). It will gradually expand to other major airports and entry points across Indonesia, including Jakarta and Surabaya.
So if you’re landing in Bali after this date, you’ll be asked to use the All Indonesia system.
Who Needs to Fill It Out?
Short answer: everyone.
- International tourists
- Returning Indonesian citizens
- Business travelers
- Families traveling with kids (parents fill the form on behalf of children)
Yes, even Indonesians coming back home need to complete it.
When Should You Fill It Out?
You can submit the form within 3 days (72 hours) before your flight.
👉 Official website: allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id
👉 Mobile app also available for convenience.
Pro tip: Don’t wait until the last minute. Do it as soon as you’re within the 72-hour window to avoid airport stress.
What Happens After You Submit?
Once you complete the form, you’ll receive a QR code via email.
- Save it on your phone (take a screenshot).
- You can also print it as a backup.
- Upon arrival, simply show your QR code to officials at immigration or customs.
The QR code links to your details (travel, customs, health), which makes the arrival process much faster.
Important: This Is NOT Your Visa
One of the most common confusions is thinking this replaces your visa. It does not.
- If you need a Visa on Arrival (VOA), you still have to apply separately.
- You can do this online via evisa.imigrasi.go.id or directly at the airport.
- The All Indonesia card is only for declarations, not permission to enter the country.
Bali Tourist Levy Still Applies
Since February 2024, Bali introduced a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (around USD $10). This is separate from your visa and arrival card.
- You can pay online before your trip via the official Love Bali app/website.
- Or you can pay at designated counters upon arrival.
So remember: you’ll need three things—visa (if required), tourist levy, and the All Indonesia arrival card.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the All Indonesia Arrival Card
- Go to the official site (or app): allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id
- Fill in your details: passport, flight info, accommodation, health declaration, customs items.
- Submit the form within 3 days of your flight.
- Check your email for the QR code.
- Save the QR code on your phone (and print a copy just in case).
- On arrival in Bali, show the QR code at immigration/customs counters.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Waiting until the day of travel to fill the form (site may be slow).
- ❌ Forgetting to save the QR code.
- ❌ Thinking it replaces your visa (it doesn’t).
- ❌ Not paying the Bali tourist levy.
- ❌ Filling the form outside the 72-hour window (too early won’t work).
Why This Matters for Travelers
Indonesia is moving toward a fully digital entry process. By combining multiple forms into one, the government hopes to:
- Reduce long queues at immigration.
- Make the process more efficient for travelers.
- Cut down on paperwork and human error.
For tourists, this means less hassle and more time to enjoy your holiday.
