According to the Indonesian Immigration, “The All Indonesia application is presented to simplify the declaration process of international passenger arrival, as well as provide an easier, faster, and safer travel experience.

The Acting Director General of Immigration, Yuldi Yusman, explained, “All of Indonesia is a step forward in realizing efficient public services. With this application, the arrival process at the airport or port is not only shorter and safer, but also friendly for all passengers – both individuals and groups – including the elderly, the disabled, and children. Indonesia aims to provide the best experience for foreign tourists and Indonesian citizens from the very first step they take to set foot in Indonesia again. Therefore, we integrate the arrival card in this system.”
He added, “We appeal to all international flight passengers, both Indonesian and WNA, to report their arrival through this application. This application is not only about convenience, but also about protecting our country. Every data you provide is the key to ensuring the security, health, and integrity of our borders.”
Bali’s provincial government has also reiterated that all international tourists must pay a levy of 150,000 IDR ($10), either 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 authorised hotels and tour operators.
