Indonesia Implements Mandatory All Indonesia App for Bali Tourist Arrivals
Bali, Indonesia — As part of Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to streamline the arrivals process and enhance travel efficiency, the All Indonesia App has become a mandatory requirement for all tourists arriving in Bali since October 1, 2025. The Indonesian government introduced this digital system to replace traditional paper customs and arrival cards, aiming to provide a faster, more comfortable immigration experience for visitors.
New Arrival Procedures at Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport
Previously, travelers would fill out physical arrival and customs forms upon landing, detailing personal, travel, and health information. Under the new system, tourists must download and complete the All Indonesia App or use the official website to submit their information prior to arrival. This includes personal identification details, flight data, accommodation addresses, and customs and health declarations.
Once completed, the app generates a QR code that travelers present to customs officers upon entry, expediting the immigration process. This system also integrates functions across customs, excise, health, quarantine, and related agencies, ensuring a thorough and unified approach.
Government Officials Emphasize Benefits
Indonesia’s Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, commented on the system’s implementation: “What is expected is that it can make it easier, more comfortable, more efficient, and shorten the time for those traveling abroad to Indonesia, whether they are Indonesian or foreign citizens.”
He further noted that integrating various regulatory functions into one platform aims to enhance visitor confidence and comfort, provide positive experiences, and encourage repeat tourism and investment.
Traveler Guidance
Tourists are advised to prepare by downloading and completing the All Indonesia App before their journey. For those without smartphones, the process can be completed online. The forms require detailed and accurate information to avoid delays during arrival.
This change aligns with Indonesia’s broader initiatives to modernize its immigration services and strengthen border control efficiency at all international entry points.
As Bali enters its low tourist season, authorities and travel experts encourage visitors to familiarize themselves with the new procedures to ensure a smooth travel experience.
