Change 1 – All Indonesia Digital Arrival Declaration (Mandatory from Oct 2025)
The biggest change for 2026 travelers is the mandatory All Indonesia (AllindonesiA) unified digital declaration. This combines what were previously separate forms – immigration declaration, customs declaration, and health declaration – into a single online form and QR code.
Key details:
- Mandatory for all international arrivals since October 1, 2025
- Complete at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival
- Free – no charge
- Takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete
- Results in a QR code to present at immigration
- Replaces the old paper customs card
Do not skip this step – it is now mandatory and failure to complete it can cause delays at immigration.
Change 2 – EVOA Extension Requires In-Person Biometrics (Since May 2025)
Previously, extending your EVOA stay could often be done entirely through an online process or via a local immigration agent. Since May 29, 2025, extending the EVOA requires:
- Online application at molina.imigrasi.go.id
- In-person appointment at a local immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi)
- Biometric data collection (fingerprints, photo)
- Possible interview
This means you need to plan the extension earlier than in previous years. Start the process at least 7-10 days before your current visa expires to allow time to get an appointment.
Change 3 – Bali Tourist Levy (Ongoing from 2024)
Introduced in February 2024 and continuing through 2026, the Bali Tourist Levy of IDR 150,000 (~$10 USD) applies to all international visitors entering Bali. Key facts for 2026:
- Fee: IDR 150,000 per person, per visit
- Pay online at lovebali.baliprov.go.id (recommended)
- Or pay at designated counters at Ngurah Rai Airport
- Funds cultural preservation and environmental programs in Bali
- Separate from your EVOA/visa fee
