All passengers on international flights must complete a new arrival declaration form via the All-Indonesia application from today (September 1), the Indonesia Directorate General of Immigration, Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Service, has announced.
Currently, the requirement applies to international passengers arriving at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Jakarta; Juanda Airport, Surabaya, East Java; I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali; and international seaports in Batam, Riau Islands.
Yuldi Yusman, acting director general of immigration, said the pilot programme for the All-Indonesia application would gradually expand to all airports, airlines, international seaports, and border crossings.
Yuldi said that All-Indonesia represents a step forward in creating efficient public services, noting that the application makes the arrival process at airports and ports faster, safer, and more accessible for all passengers, including individuals, groups, the elderly, people with special needs, and children.
He explained that the application was introduced to simplify the international passenger arrival declaration process and provide a smoother, faster, and more secure travel experience.
The All-Indonesia application integrates immigration, customs, health, and quarantine forms into a single digital system. Passengers can complete the form for free up to three days before arrival.
He added that Indonesia aims to provide the best experience from the very first step for both foreign tourists and returning citizens, which is why the arrival card has been integrated into the system. With this integration, international passengers will no longer need to complete a separate electronic customs declaration (e-CD), as the entire customs process is now part of the All-Indonesia digital system. The application also allows the Ministry of Health to detect potential risks of contagious diseases, enabling a swift response at the country’s entry points.
The application is also mandatory for passengers carrying animal, fish, or plant commodities and their derived products, to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. It simplifies reporting for quarantine inspection and supervision, helping to ensure national food security and economic protection.
Yuldi urged all international passengers, both foreign nationals and Indonesian citizens, to report their arrival through the application. The form can be accessed on the All-Indonesia website or by downloading the app from the Google Play Store and App Store.
“This application is not just about convenience; it’s also about protecting our country. Every piece of data you provide is key to ensuring the security, health, and integrity of our borders,” Yuldi concluded.
