Entry rules to Indonesia for Brunei citizens

Brunei citizens can travel to Indonesia visa-free. The visa-free regime allows a stay of up to 30 days. Important: this period cannot be extended or changed, so ensure your trip is planned within this timeframe.

On September 1, 2025, Indonesia introduced a mandatory digital arrival card All Indonesia for all foreign tourists. Initially, it will be valid at the three largest airports — Bali (Denpasar), Jakarta, and Surabaya. And from October 1, the requirement will extend to all international airports in the country, including Sumatra, Komodo, Makassar, and Manado.

The All Indonesia card combines several documents that previously had to be filled out separately: customs declaration (e-CD), SATUSEHAT medical form, as well as immigration and quarantine data. Now tourists will be able to complete everything online before their trip, which will speed up the control process.

The form must be completed on the website no earlier than 3 days before the date of entry. The declaration must include personal and contact details, flight number, and hotel name.

In addition, from October 1, 2025, a tourist tax of 150,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 14) will be introduced. It can be paid either online or upon arrival.

What documents are required for entry to Indonesia for Bruneians?

For Brunei citizens, the minimum set of documents includes:

A valid passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival.
A return ticket. You must have proof of a return flight or onward travel.
Medical insurance. While not mandatory, Indonesia recommends having insurance that covers COVID-19 and other medical expenses. You can easily purchase insurance on the Visit World website.

Additional requirements to note:

Customs Declaration

Brunei citizens must complete a customs declaration to enter Indonesia. This can be done online:

At the airport using a QR code.
In advance on the official website to save time.

Some airlines require a completed declaration before boarding. Fill it out no earlier than 2 days before arrival.

Electronic Questionnaire

On the website sshp.kemkes.go.id, you need to fill out an electronic questionnaire about:

Countries visited in the last 21 days;
Monkeypox symptoms;
Contact with infected individuals.

Complete it in advance to avoid delays.

Is health insurance required for a trip to Indonesia?

Officially, health insurance is not mandatory for Brunei citizens. However, having a policy that covers medical emergencies or infectious diseases such as COVID-19 ensures your safety during the trip. On Visit World, you can quickly and conveniently purchase insurance tailored to your needs.

What should Brunei citizens know before traveling to Indonesia?

1. Bring mosquito repellents, as some regions may have cases of Dengue fever.

2. Prepare for a hot and humid climate. Visiting during the rainy season may affect your plans, so check the weather forecast beforehand.

3. The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah. Always carry cash, especially when traveling to remote areas.

4. Avoid plastic bags. Indonesia is actively combating waste, and plastic bags may be banned in many supermarkets. 5. Bring a reusable eco-bag for convenience and environmental care.

6. Avoid feeding animals. If you see monkeys in places like Uluwatu Temple or Monkey Forest in Bali, refrain from feeding them. Monkeys can be aggressive and steal items, so keep glasses, phones, and valuables in your bag.

7. Drink only bottled water. Avoid tap water. Purchase sealed bottled water and use a reusable bottle with filters to reduce plastic waste.
