Starting September 1, 2025, Indonesia joins the club of countries that like their tourists a little more… organized. From now on, you’ll need to fill out an electronic declaration before flying in. Relax, though — it’s quick, painless, and doesn’t ruin your Bali plans 🌴.
🛬 Where the New Rules Apply
At first, starting September 1, 2025, the rule covers travelers arriving at:
- Jakarta International Airport 🏙️,
- Bali (Denpasar) 🌴,
- Surabaya 🌊.
From October 1, 2025, the requirement expands to all airports across Indonesia — from massive hubs to tiny island airstrips where passport control is literally one desk and a sleepy officer.
📝 How to Submit the E-Declaration
- Go to allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id
- Fill out the form no earlier than 3 days before arrival
- Get your QR code
- Show it at passport control
That’s it! No QR code — no tropical getaway. The whole process takes just a few minutes online.
🎫 This Is NOT a Visa
Important reminder: the electronic declaration isn’t a visa.
For Ukrainian citizens, visa rules stay the same:
- apply for an e-VOA online in advance,
- or grab a Visa on Arrival at the airport for around $35 USD.
Both options allow you to stay up to 30 days, with the possibility to extend once for another month.
💡 LifeIsTravel Tips
- Heading to Bali? Apply for your e-VOA in advance — trust us, skipping the line is worth it.
- Submit your declaration within 3 days before flying; otherwise, the QR code won’t work.
- Planning multiple trips? Consider a multi-entry visa for extra flexibility.
🏝️ Bottom Line
Indonesia is going digital, but don’t worry — nothing dramatic has changed:
- visa rules for Ukrainians remain the same,
- you just need to tick one extra box on your travel checklist.
The sunsets in Bali? Still epic. The ocean? Still perfect. The rice terraces? Still Instagram gold. 🌅
