Arrival the the Airport
Health Protocol Guidelines
The government of Indonesia has tightened health screenings at the country’s entry points, particularly at airports, for incoming travelers from overseas. This measure aims to prevent the entry of new Mpox variants into Indonesia. Strict screening is enforced by requiring every international traveler, both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals, entering Indonesia to fill out an electronic self-declaration form called the SATUSEHAT Health Pass.
The SATUSEHAT Health Pass electronic self- declaration form can be filled out online via the website https://sshp.kemkes.go.id. Upon arriving at any airport in Indonesia, delegates are required to complete the SATUSEHAT Health Pass. Once the form is submitted, a barcode with the passenger’s health and travel details will be generated. This barcode will be scanned by officials at the arrival gate. After scanning, the barcode can be saved for future use. The steps for completing the SATUSEHAT Health Pass for international travelers are as follows:
1. Access https://sshp.kemkes.go.id from your browser and click the “Start” button.
2. Choose your preferred language.
3. Complete all required fields.
4. After completing the form, a QR code will be generated, which you can save or keep the page open until it is successfully scanned by officials.
Immigration and Customs Clearance
All foreign nationals entering the Republic of Indonesia are required to undergo customs inspection. Delegates who are carrying cash amounts exceeding USD 10,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) and/or articles subject to customs clearance must complete a customs declaration.
Passengers arriving on international flights are obliged to present their Electronic Customs Declaration (E-CD) to the customs officer upon arrival. The necessary information can be submitted via the official website: https://ecd.beacukai.go.id
