When should I fill out the All Indonesia card?

Complete it within the recommended window shortly before arrival, typically a few days before landing. Check the current timing on the official portal.

Do I still need a paper customs form?

The digital card replaces older paper forms, but always confirm current requirements before you travel, as procedures can change.

Is the All Indonesia card the same as a visa?

No. It is a customs and arrival declaration, separate from your visa or visa on arrival. You may need both.

Does everyone need to complete it?

It generally applies to international arrivals. Verify whether it applies to your situation on the official government site.

What if I have trouble with the online form?

Complete it on a stable connection before travel and save the QR code. If issues arise, check for assistance at the airport and official guidance.

All Indonesia Arrival Card for Bali 2026: 10 Things Travelers Should Know

MyGlob Editorial March 24, 2026 7 min read

Arriving in Bali in 2026 involves a little digital admin beyond your visa and tourist levy. Indonesia uses an electronic arrival card, often referred to under the All Indonesia or e-arrival banner, that captures your travel and personal details before you reach immigration. It is quick to complete, but knowing how it works in advance saves you from fumbling with your phone in the arrivals hall. Here are ten things every traveller heading to Bali should understand about the arrival card.

01
Pick #1
It is a digital declaration — not a paper form
The old paper cards you used to scribble on the plane have largely given way to an online arrival card. You complete it on a website or app, submit it, and receive a QR code. That QR code is what officers or gates scan on arrival, so the whole process is designed to be paperless and fast.
02
Pick #2
It is separate from your visa and the tourist levy
Travellers often conflate the three. Your visa (or e-VOA) grants permission to enter, the Bali tourist levy is a tourism contribution, and the arrival card is a declaration of who you are and where you are going. You may need all three, and each is handled on its own platform.
03
Pick #3
Fill it in shortly before you fly
Arrival cards are usually meant to be submitted within a window of a few days before arrival, not weeks ahead. Aim to complete it in the day or two before departure, once your flight and accommodation details are final, so the information is current and the QR code is valid for your entry.
04
Pick #4
Have your travel details ready
The form asks for passport information, flight number, arrival date and your address in Bali. Keep your passport, e-ticket and hotel booking open in another tab so you can copy the details accurately. A wrong flight number or mistyped passport number can cause confusion at the gate.
05
Pick #5
Each traveller usually needs their own card
Families and groups should not assume one submission covers everyone. In most cases each person, including children, needs an individual arrival card. Some platforms let one person submit on behalf of a family group, but you will still generate the required records for each traveller.
06
Pick #6
Save the QR code offline
Airport Wi-Fi can be slow when several flights land together. Screenshot your QR code or download the confirmation so you can show it without needing a signal. A printed copy is a sensible backup if your phone battery is low after a long flight.
07
Pick #7
There may be a customs or health element
Indonesia's arrival process can combine immigration, customs declarations and, at times, health information into the electronic flow. Read each section carefully and declare honestly, particularly if you are carrying goods over duty limits or items that must be declared.
08
Pick #8
Use only official platforms
There are unofficial sites that charge a fee to fill in forms that are free on government platforms. Stick to the official Indonesian government channels for the arrival card to avoid unnecessary charges and to keep your personal data safe.
09
Pick #9
Double-check before you submit
Once submitted, corrections can be awkward. Review your name spelling, passport number, dates and address before hitting submit. Small typos are the most common reason travellers get pulled aside for manual checks.
10
Pick #10
Keep it with your other entry documents
Group your arrival card QR, your visa or e-VOA, and your tourist levy voucher in one place on your phone, ideally in a single folder or notes entry. Having them ready in order means you breeze through arrival rather than searching screen by screen at the counter.
11
Pick #11
Good to Know
Digital entry requirements evolve, and the exact name, platform and scope of the arrival card can change between seasons. Before you travel, confirm the current process on the official Indonesian immigration and customs websites, and check your airline's pre-departure guidance, which often summarises what you must complete before boarding.
