Overview

• The requirement takes effect September 1 at Ngurah Rai, Soekarno-Hatta and Juanda airports, with expansion to all international airports from October 1.
• Travellers must complete the declaration online and present the issued QR code on arrival for processing.
• Reports conflict on the submission window, with some guidance stating at least three days before arrival and others citing 48 hours before travel.
• Most outlets say the declaration is free to complete, while one report puts the cost at about $50, so travellers are directed to the official platform for definitive instructions.
• The declaration is separate from visa rules, with tourists still needing a $50 visa via Indonesia’s immigration website and in-person visits required for extensions, with heavy penalties for overstays.
