Jakarta Arrival Card & Entry Guide 2026

Learn how to submit the Jakarta Arrival Card online, customs declaration, follow airport steps, and avoid delays at CGK.

What is the Jakarta Arrival Card?

The "Jakarta arrival card" refers to the unified digital declaration—the All Indonesia Arrival Card. Paper customs forms on flights entering Jakarta are obsolete.

The official platform merges three previous arrival forms into a single online filing:

1. Customs Declaration (e-CD): Details about your baggage, duty-free limits, and declarable items.
2. Immigration Arrival Data: Basic flight and stay info cross-referenced with your passport.
3. Health & Quarantine Declaration: Replaces the former separate SATUSEHAT Health Pass.

Who Needs to Fill Out the Jakarta Arrival Card?

Mandatory for All International Passengers

Every passenger entering Indonesia through Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) must complete the arrival card. This applies to:

• Foreign tourists, business travelers, and visa holders.
• Indonesian citizens returning from abroad.
• Children and infants (can be included under a head of household/family submission).

Exemptions

• Transit Passengers: If you land at CGK purely to connect to an international flight without passing through Indonesian immigration or retrieving checked baggage, you do not need to fill out the form. (Note: Domestic connections inside Indonesia do require clearing customs in Jakarta first, so transit travelers staying in Indonesia must submit it).

Requirements & Documents for Entering Jakarta

Before starting your online declaration or approaching the border counters, gather these essentials:

1. Travel Documents

• Valid Passport: Must have at least 6 months of validity from your arrival date.
• Visa / e-VOA: Most tourists need a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or an e-VOA applied for via the official evisa.imigrasi.go.id portal. The e-VOA fee is 500,000 IDR (~$31 USD).

2. Customs Declarations & Monetary Limits

• Currency Limits: Carrying cash or monetary instruments totaling 100,000,000 IDR (~$6,200 USD) or more requires mandatory declaration.
• Duty-Free Allowance: Personal goods up to $500 USD (~8,000,000 IDR) per person are duty-free. Anything exceeding this value must be declared and taxed at the customs exit.
• Alcohol & Tobacco: Allowance is strictly 1 liter of alcohol per adult and 200 cigarettes (or 25 cigars). Excess alcohol will be confiscated without an option to pay duties.
• IMEI Registration (Mobile Phones): If you are staying in Indonesia for more than 90 days and using a local SIM card, you must register your phone's IMEI number during the arrival card submission. Devices valued under $500 USD (~8,000,000 IDR) are exempt from import taxes.

Detailed Arrival Process at Jakarta Airport (CGK)

Once your flight lands at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, the terminal walkthrough follows this order:

[Touchdown at CGK] ──> [Immigration / Autogate] ──> [Baggage Claim] ──> [Scan Arrival QR at Customs] ──> [Airport Exit]

• Immigration Clearance: Follow signs to Passport Control. If you have an e-passport and an approved e-VOA, proceed directly through the Autogates for automatic clearance. Otherwise, join the standard line or pay for your Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the designated counter before joining the main queue.

• Baggage Retrieval: Head down to the baggage carousels to collect your checked luggage.

• Customs Inspection: Walk toward the exit checkpoint. Show your saved All Indonesia Arrival QR Code to the customs officer or scan it at the automated reader gates.

• Luggage Screening: Most travelers walk straight through the Green Channel after scanning. If you declared items or are selected for random screening, proceed to the X-ray scanners in the Red Channel.

When Should I Fill Out the Arrival Card?

• Submission Window: The form opens 72 hours (3 days) before your scheduled arrival time in Jakarta. Submissions made earlier than 72 hours will not be accepted by the portal.
• Best Practice: Fill it out 24 to 48 hours before departure while packing or at your departure airport lounge. Waiting until you arrive in Jakarta can cause delays if airport Wi-Fi is congested.

Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Beware of Fake Sites: The official All Indonesia arrival card is 100% FREE ($0 USD / 0 IDR). Never pay on third-party websites claiming to "process" your arrival card.
• Keep a Screenshot: CGK airport Wi-Fi can slow down during peak arrival hours. Always save a screenshot or PDF copy of your QR code to your phone so you can open it offline.
• Declare Food Items: If you carry fresh food, fruit, meat, or plant seeds, declare them. Unreported agricultural products carry heavy fines under Indonesian biosecurity laws.
• One Code for Families: One family head can complete a single joint submission for up to 4 family members traveling together, generating one shared QR code for customs.
