JAKARTA — July 13, 2026 — Indonesia has officially replaced the old paper arrival forms with a unified Digital Arrival Card system. All international travellers entering Indonesia by air, sea, or land must now complete an online pre-arrival declaration — commonly known as the Indonesia Arrival Card or e-CD (Electronic Customs Declaration).
This mandatory digital system integrates immigration, customs, health, and quarantine declarations into a single platform, streamlining border processing and reducing queues at entry points. The system became mandatory starting September 1, 2025 at major international airports including Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Ngurah Rai (Bali), and Juanda (Surabaya), and is now fully rolled out nationwide.
Important: The Digital Arrival Card is free to complete. There is no fee for the arrival declaration. Fees apply only if you apply for an e-VOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival).
