Getting Ready for Your Trip to Bali

This page explains how foreign visitors can complete Indonesia’s “All Indonesia” arrival registration before entry, using the official government portal.

Note: You do not need to download an app. You can complete the process in your browser via the official website.

“All Indonesia” Arrival Card — What It Is & How to Use It

Indonesia has introduced a single digital entry form called All Indonesia. It combines arrival information in one online process, and may include immigration, customs, and health-related sections depending on your travel profile and current requirements. This page explains what it is, who it applies to, and how to complete it.

Key Facts for Foreign Visitors

  • Complete the form within 3 days before arrival (ideally within ~72 hours). Always follow the timing shown on the official portal.
  • Average completion time: about 2–3 minutes, if you have your passport and flight/accommodation details ready.
  • After submission you receive (or are shown) a QR code. Save it (screenshot or email) so you can show it when requested at immigration and customs.
  • Free of charge — there are no fees. SCAM ALERT: do not use third-party sites that charge money. Use only the official .go.id link below.

Steps to Complete the Arrival Card

  1. Visit allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id.
  2. Select English and choose Foreign Visitor (or the appropriate traveler category).
  3. Enter the required details:
    • Personal details: nationality, full name, date of birth, passport number & expiry, contact info.
    • Travel and VISA details: arrival/departure dates; enter your e-Visa, ITAS, or KITAP number if applicable.
    • Transport & accommodation: arrival airport/port, flight/ship number, hotel or address.
    • customs declarations. This section replaces the old e-customs form 
    • Health declarations (replacing the SATUSEHAT form)
  4. Submit the form and save your QR code (screenshot is usually sufficient).
  5. On arrival, present the QR code when requested at the customs (on your phone or printed).

What the Card Does (and Doesn’t) Do

  • It can save you time: it lets you pre-submit arrival information before you reach immigration/customs.
  • It is not a visa: this is not a visa and does not replace visa requirements.

Visa Requirements Remain Separate

You must still hold the correct visa for your visit (e.g., Visa on Arrival, e-VOA, visa-free entry for certain nationals, or other visa types based on nationality and purpose).

Applying for Family Members

You can add multiple family members in one session by entering each traveler’s details individually. Follow the portal prompts for children and dependents.

Helpful Tips

Using a Desktop

  • You do not need to use the MRZ (passport scan) feature — manual entry is fine.
  • Double-check that your name matches your passport and use an email you can access on arrival.

Using a Mobile Device

  • You do not need an app — the browser version is sufficient for most travelers.
  • If the portal offers Scan MRZ, you may use it to auto-fill your details, or enter them manually.
  • Keep a copy of your QR code available offline (e.g., screenshot) or bring a printout.

Info, Prices & Signup

The airport code for Bali is DPS (Denpasar).

However, the airport is located south of Kuta — not in Denpasar city.

Full name: I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport

DPS is well-connected internationally, served by a range of full-service and budget airlines from across the globe.

Do not bring more than the equivalent of IDR 100,000,000 (approximately AUD 10,000) in cash into Indonesia. Amounts above this limit must be declared and may be subject to tax.

Yes, you can. International flights to Jakarta are sometimes significantly cheaper than flying directly to Bali, especially during peak seasons. Travelers with flexible time — such as backpackers — often choose this route.

After arriving in Jakarta, you can catch a domestic flight to Bali on the same day using airlines such as Citilink, Super Air Jet, Batik Air, AirAsia, Lion Air, or Garuda Indonesia. One-way fares range from USD 50 to 150.

Important: Allow at least 4 hours between your international arrival in Jakarta and your connecting flight to Bali. You’ll need to clear immigration, collect your luggage, and transfer to the domestic terminal.
