Planning a trip to Bali in 2026? Before you pack your suitcase and board your flight, there’s one critical requirement you shouldn’t overlook. As of late 2025, Indonesian authorities have streamlined the entry process. All international arrivals are now required to complete a unified digital declaration through the "All Indonesia" platform, which integrates the SatuSehat Health Pass (SSHP).

In this article, you’ll discover what this system is, why it’s mandatory, how to use it correctly, and what it means for travelers, digital nomads, and long-stay visitors heading to the Island of the Gods.


What Is the SatuSehat Health Pass (Integrated into "All Indonesia")?

The SatuSehat Health Pass is Indonesia’s official digital health declaration platform managed by the Ministry of Health. While it began as a standalone portal, it has now been integrated into the All Indonesia Arrival Card (accessible viaallindonesia.imigrasi.go.id).

This unified portal combines three essential requirements into one single submission:

  • Health Declaration (SatuSehat)

  • Electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD)

  • Immigration Arrival Card

All international travelers—including those landing at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS)—must complete this digital form within 72 hours (3 days) before arrival. After submission, you will receive a unique QR Code that will be scanned by airport officials during health and immigration screenings.


Why Is It Mandatory?

Indonesia continues to strengthen its biosecurity and health surveillance systems to respond to global health trends. Currently, in 2026, these measures are particularly focused on monitoring:

  • Mpox (Monkeypox): Following the WHO’s classification of Mpox as a public health concern, the health pass remains a primary screening tool.

  • Nipah Virus & Seasonal Flu: In early 2026, Bali airport intensified screening protocols (including thermal scanners) to monitor for potential Nipah virus infections in the region.

The requirement serves several purposes:

  • Early Detection: Identifying symptomatic travelers before they enter the community.

  • Faster Processing: Digitizing forms eliminates paper-based delays and speeds up airport flow.

  • National Health Integration: Aligning travel data with the Ministry of Health’s national data system.

  • Enhanced Safety: Creating a safer environment for residents and the millions of tourists Bali hosts annually.


How to Complete the Arrival Declaration

The process is straightforward and should be done online before you head to the airport:

  1. Access the Platform: Visit the officialAll Indonesia website or download the "All Indonesia" mobile app.

  2. Enter Travel Details: Provide your passport information, flight number, and seat number.

  3. Complete the Health Assessment: Declare any symptoms (fever, rashes, etc.) and list the countries you have visited in the last 21 days.

  4. Submit Customs Info: Declare any goods as required by Indonesian customs.

  5. Save Your QR Code: Upon submission, a QR code will be generated. Take a screenshot or save the PDF to your phone, as you will need to present it upon landing.

Pro Tip: Complete the form while you still have a stable internet connection at home or your hotel to avoid the stress of trying to access the airport Wi-Fi upon arrival.


What Happens If You Don’t Complete It?

Non-compliance doesn't just result in a headache; it can actively disrupt your travel plans:

  • Mandatory Secondary Screening: You may be pulled aside for a physical health assessment.

  • Extended Delays: You cannot clear customs or immigration without the QR code.

  • Thermal Scanning Hits: If the thermal cameras at the arrival gate flag a high temperature and you haven't completed your declaration, you may be referred directly to Ngoerah Central General Hospital for testing.


What This Means for Long-Stay Visitors & Digital Nomads

For short-term tourists, this is a minor pre-arrival step. However, for digital nomads, expats, and investors, this reflects a significant shift.

Bali is evolving into a more structured, regulated, and globally integrated destination. The move to the All Indonesia unified platform signals that Indonesia is prioritizing infrastructure and digital compliance. For those living here, it reinforces the importance of staying updated on regulatory shifts—whether they concern health protocols, the Bali Tourist Tax (Rp 150,000), or new visa categories like the D1 Multiple Entry Visa.

Living in Bali is no longer just about the "Island Life" aesthetic; it’s about responsible residency and being part of a modernized, safer ecosystem.


Conclusion

Bali remains one of the world’s most desirable destinations for entrepreneurs and travelers alike. The mandatory health declaration is not a hurdle; it is a commitment to maintaining Bali as an internationally trusted and safe travel hub.

As the island matures, these digital regulations provide the stability and governance needed for long-term growth. Whether you are coming for a week of surfing or a lifetime of investment, being informed is your best tool for a smooth experience.
