Indonesia Arrival Card

Yes. Completing the All Indonesia Arrival Card, which includes the customs declaration and health form, is mandatory for all travelers entering Indonesia.

You can fill out the Arrival Card up to 3 days (72 hours) before arrival.

If you haven’t completed it in advance, you can still fill it out at the airport, but you may experience longer waiting times. To ensure a smoother arrival, we recommend completing the form before your trip.

If you do not complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card (customs declaration), you may face:

• Delays at Immigration and Customs

• Fines (in cases of undeclared restricted items)

• Confiscation of items that should have been declared

Accurate completion of the Arrival Card is essential for a smooth entry into Indonesia.

If you haven’t filled out the Arrival Card before your trip, you can still complete it upon arrival at the airport in Indonesia. However, queues can be long, so we strongly recommend filling it out before your departure.

Yes, you can change your information as long as the QR code has not been scanned at Immigration.

If you completed the Arrival Card yourself

Simply fill out the entire form again. The newest version will replace the old one.

If you booked the Arrival Card through us

You can inform us of any changes up to 4 days before your arrival, and we will update it for you.

It is essential that you present an Arrival Card with the correct information when entering Indonesia.

When entering Indonesia, travellers are allowed to bring certain goods duty-free, up to the limits set by Indonesian Customs.

1. Personal goods

You may bring personal items with a total value of up to USD 500 per person without paying import duties.

Families travelling together can combine their allowance (e.g., USD 500 × number of family members).

2. Tobacco products

You may bring one of the following duty-free:

• 200 cigarettes, or

• 25 cigars, or

• 100 grams of sliced tobacco

These limits cannot be combined (e.g., cigarettes + cigars).

3. Alcohol

Each traveller may bring up to 1 liter of alcoholic beverages duty-free.

4. Important notes

• If you exceed the duty-free allowances, you must declare the items and may have to pay import duties/taxes.

• Customs rules may occasionally change — if your quantities are close to the limit, it’s safer to double-check the latest regulations.

Indonesia distinguishes between prohibited items (not allowed at all) and restricted items (allowed only under specific conditions, limits, or with a declaration).

🚫 Prohibited items (not allowed under any circumstances)

You may not bring the following items into Indonesia:

• Narcotics and illegal drugs

• Firearms and air guns

• Sharp weapons (unless declared for specific purposes)

• Ammunition

• Explosives or explosive materials

• Pornographic materials

Bringing prohibited items can lead to confiscation, fines, detention, or criminal charges.

⚠️ Restricted items (allowed with declaration, limits, or permits)

These items may be brought into Indonesia, but only under certain rules:

1. Animals, fish, plants & biological products

Require permits from Indonesian authorities (e.g., quarantine, health certificates).

2. Cash amounts over IDR 100,000,000

Must be declared to Customs.

3. Exciseable goods (alcohol & tobacco)

Allowed only within duty-free limits.
Above limits → declaration + import duty.

4. Personal goods beyond exemption limits

Items exceeding the duty-free allowance must be declared and taxed.

5. Commercial goods

Require customs clearance and often import permits.

6. Re-imported or temporarily imported goods

May require a declaration, proof of ownership, or temporary import documentation.

If you are unsure whether your item is restricted, it is always safer to declare it.
