Canada revises travel advice for Indonesia; digital registration mandatory

 

 

Canada has revised its travel guidelines for citizens traveling to major tourist destinations in Indonesia. Under the new requirements, foreign tourists traveling to Indonesia must submit the All Indonesia Declaration Form within 72 hours of arrival in the country. Registration can be done through the official mobile application available on Android and iOS platforms or through an online portal.

It allows for the recording of information for up to ten people traveling together on a single form. Travelers should keep a copy of the QR code received after submitting the application to present at immigration and customs inspections. In addition to the digital declaration form, the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that other general entry requirements should also be strictly followed. Travelers should carry a return ticket and proof of sufficient funds for accommodation expenses to be presented as needed during travel.

The new security measures come as the Indonesian tourism sector recorded a 10.8 percent growth compared to the previous year, with more than 15 million foreign tourists visiting the country in 2025 alone. However, despite the country's high popularity, Canadian citizens have been advised to exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout Indonesia, given the ongoing political and social unrest and terrorist threats.
