Indonesia implements mandatory digital arrival card for all international travelers
As of July 16, 2026, Indonesia has made the All Indonesia Arrival Card AIAC compulsory for all international travelers arriving in Bali and other international gateways. This digital platform streamlines arrival procedures by integrating immigration, customs, health, and quarantine information into a single online submission. The AIAC replaces previous systems like the Electronic Customs Declaration e-CD and the SATUSEHAT health declaration. All international visitors, including foreign tourists, business travelers, families with children, and returning Indonesian citizens, must complete the AIAC online within 72 hours before their scheduled arrival. The process is free of charge and must be completed through official government channels, either the All Indonesia Immigration Portal or the official All Indonesia mobile application. Upon successful submission, a QR code is generated, which travelers must retain for scanning at immigration and customs checkpoints. It is important to note that the AIAC does not replace visa requirements or the separate IDR 150,000 approximately USD 10 Bali Tourism Levy, which must still be fulfilled independently.
