Starting today, Monday, September 1, 2025, a new regulation applies to all international passengers entering Indonesia. Arrival declarations are no longer done manually; instead, they must now be completed through a digital application called "All Indonesia".
This step is part of the government’s broader transformation to simplify entry procedures at the country’s borders. The digital system integrates immigration, customs, health, and quarantine requirements into a single, practical, and accessible application.
First Phase at Key Hubs
In its initial phase, the requirement applies at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Tangerang, Banten), Juanda International Airport (Surabaya, East Java), I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (Bali), and Batam International Port (Riau Islands).
However, the government has confirmed that the trial will be gradually expanded to cover all international airports, seaports, and even land border crossings in Indonesia. This means every international traveler—both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals—will use the same unified digital system.
Acting Director General of Immigration, Yuldi Yusman, as quoted by Antara, described All Indonesia as a “major leap” in public service. According to him, the app is not only about efficiency but also about providing a faster, safer, and more passenger-friendly travel experience, including for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children.
“All Indonesia is a step forward in realizing efficient public services. With this application, arrival procedures at airports and ports are not only faster and safer but also more inclusive for all passengers, whether traveling individually or in groups, including seniors, persons with disabilities, and children,” he said.
One App, All Arrival Matters
Previously, passengers had to fill out multiple separate forms. Now, everything is integrated into a single platform. All Indonesia combines the functions of the immigration arrival card, customs declaration form (including the electronic customs declaration/e-CD), health declaration, and the reporting of goods subject to quarantine.
The form can be completed up to three days before arrival in Indonesia—or even after landing. There is no fee for filling it out.
Passengers simply need to access the official website at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. According to the official website of Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the app also offers several additional features designed for convenience, including:
- Auto-Fill Data: saves passport and flight information for future trips.
- Real-Time Notifications: provides reminders and updates about arrival procedures.
- Multilingual Support: available in Indonesian, English, and Mandarin.
- Data Protection: ensures information security with multi-layered encryption.
Cross-Agency Synergy
As reported by Kompas, the app is the result of collaboration across multiple government agencies. From the customs side, passengers are no longer required to fill out a separate electronic customs declaration (e-CD), as all customs data is already integrated into the application. This speeds up the flow of goods and makes baggage inspections more efficient.
From a health perspective, data integration enables the Ministry of Health to conduct early detection of potential infectious diseases from abroad. If any indications arise, a rapid response can be carried out directly at the airport or seaport.
Meanwhile, in terms of quarantine, the app must also be filled out by passengers carrying animals, fish, plants, or related products. The purpose is clear: to prevent the spread of pests and diseases that could threaten food security and the national economy.
