Bottom line first: Starting August 18, 2025, Bali’s entry process has been streamlined to 3 steps—① Apply for an eVisa before departure ② Within 3 days of departure, complete both customs declaration and health statement on the All Indonesia platform (AIAC) and screenshot the QR code ③ Upon arrival, follow the Arrival signs through immigration and collect your luggage. This cuts one step from the old four-step process—here’s a full illustrated guide.
📢 Important Update! Starting August 18, 2025, Indonesia fully launches the ‘All Indonesia’ arrival card system
From now on, you no longer need to fill out the customs declaration (e-CD) and health statement (SSHP) separately—both are integrated into the All Indonesia platform (abbreviated as ‘AIAC’, All Indonesia Arrival Card), greatly simplifying entry procedures!

Must-Do Before Departure:
- Be sure to apply for an eVisa first. Check here for further instructions to avoid scam websites.
- Complete the AIAC arrival card within three days before departure and screenshot the QR code for inspection. See our FAQ for common questions.
1️⃣ Deplane
- Follow the airport ‘Arrival’ signs to the immigration hall.
2️⃣ Apply for Visa on Arrival (VoA)
- If you haven’t applied for an eVisa, queue at the ‘Visa on Arrival’ counter to pay (2025 fee: IDR 500,000, about USD$16).
- Those with an eVisa/eVoA can skip this step.
3️⃣ Immigration Inspection (Passport Stamping)
- Counter Queue: Visa-on-arrival holders must queue for inspection.
- Electronic Clearance: Those who have pre-applied/paid for an eVisa can skip the manual stamping line and use the automatic gates.

- After passing immigration/automatic gates, proceed to the carousel for your flight to collect luggage.
- 💡 Tip: Luggage can be slow, so attach a distinctive luggage tag to avoid mix-ups.

- No need to fill out the old SSHP health declaration! The new system already includes it—just show your QR Code for scanning.
6️⃣ Customs Check (Integrated into AIAC)
After collecting your luggage, walk through the customs checkpoint
- Simply present your AIAC QR Code.
- Prohibited items: Meat, fruit, excess foreign currency (over IDR 100 million), etc. Violators face heavy fines.
