Passengers flying into Bali and a host of other Indonesian destinations are now required to complete a digital arrivals declaration via the All Indonesia app.
As of September 1, 2025, international visitors traveling to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Banten, Juanda Airport in East Java, or I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali must download the new app to submit streamlined immigration, customs, health, and quarantine declarations. The form can be completed up to three days before departure.
The app will also be required for travelers arriving at six international seaports in Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia’s national news agency reports, including Batam Center, Nongsa, Marina, Sekupang, Harbour Bay, and Bengkong.
Following an initial trial period at the above locations, the government says it plans to roll out the free app to all airports, airlines, and international ports across the country. The app can be accessed via allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or downloaded on the Google Play Store and App Store.
Several countries, including Thailand and the United Kingdom, have launched similar digital entry authorizations this year.
“With the application, the arrival process is not only shorter and safer, but also more user-friendly for all passengers, including the elderly, children, and people with disabilities,” Yuldi Yusman, of Indonesia’s Ministry of Immigration, said in a statement. “The application is not only about convenience, but also about protecting our country. Every piece of data provided helps ensure the security, health, and integrity of our borders.”
On top of the new app requirement, Bali’s provincial government has reminded visitors of its mandatory tourist levy, which requires all international visitors to pay a fee of 150,000 IDR ($10) before arrival or during their stay.
The levy is intended to support the preservation of Balinese culture, heritage, and environment, and payment can be made online, at designated counters on arrival, or through authorized hotels and tour operators.
Following a spate of tourist misbehavior, new guidance was also released earlier this year urging visitors to honor Balinese customs and cultural practices, dress respectfully in modest clothing, and use licensed guides when visiting natural or cultural sites.
Speaking at a press conference in April, Bali’s governor Wayan Koster reminded tourists to “behave respectfully,” pay the mandatory tourist tax before or during their stay, and exchange currency at authorized money conversion points.
