Your Guide to Indonesia’s New Digital Arrival Card

Starting September 1, 2025, all travelers, including Indonesian passport holders, must complete the new Indonesia Digital Arrival Card (IDAC) online before entering the country.

Bali, Indonesia – September 2025, If you are planning a trip to Indonesia anytime after September 1, 2025, there is a new step to add to your travel checklist. All travelers — yes, even Indonesian passport holders returning home — are now required to complete the Indonesia Digital Arrival Card (IDAC) before entering the country.

The good news? It is simple, fast, and can be done online through the official immigration website: https://allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id/

A Modern Entry Experience

Think of the IDAC as Indonesia’s digital welcome mat. Just like the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) or the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), this new requirement replaces the old paper forms you used to fill out on the plane. Instead, you can handle it all on your phone or laptop before you even board.

By the time you land in Bali, Jakarta, or any other gateway, your details are already in the system meaning faster lines, less hassle, and more time to head straight to your villa, beach club, or favorite warung.

What You Need to Know

• Who needs it? Everyone from tourists to business travelers to Indonesian citizens.

• When to complete it? Before you arrive. Immigration recommends filling it out at least a day before your flight.

• Why it matters? It streamlines the process, cuts down on paper waste, and helps keep immigration lines moving smoothly.

Travel Made Smarter

For a country that welcomes millions of international visitors each year, the shift to a digital system is part of Indonesia’s bigger effort to make travel seamless and sustainable. It is one less piece of paper to juggle, one less pen to borrow on the plane, and one more reason to start your trip stress-free.

So, before you zip up your suitcase and head for the airport, make sure you check off this step: complete your Indonesia Digital Arrival Card online. With that done, you are all set to enjoy your journey across the archipelago.
