Batam Arrival Card Guide: Requirements and Online Registration
Entering Batam is now easier with the All Indonesia Arrival Card. Instead of completing several separate declarations, Filipino travelers can submit their immigration, customs, health, and quarantine information through one free online form. This guide covers the registration process, entry requirements, QR code, and arrival procedures.
What Is the Batam Arrival Card?
The form commonly called the Batam Arrival Card is officially named the All Indonesia Arrival Card or simply All Indonesia. “AIAC” is not the official name used by the Indonesian government.
The system became mandatory at Batam’s international seaports on September 1, 2025. Since October 1, 2025, it has been required for passengers arriving from abroad at all Indonesian airports and seaports.
All Indonesia combines four declarations in one system:
- Immigration information
- Customs declaration
- Health declaration
- Animal, fish, and plant quarantine declaration
Travelers who complete All Indonesia normally do not need to submit a separate Indonesian electronic customs declaration. The form is free and is not a visa.

Do Filipino Travelers Need the Batam Arrival Card?
Yes. Filipino travelers arriving in Batam from another country must complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card.
The requirement applies to:
- Foreign visitors, including Philippine passport holders
- Indonesian citizens returning from abroad
- Adults and children
- Travelers arriving by ferry or international flight
Each traveler must be included in an individual or group declaration, including accompanying children.
Do Filipinos Need a Visa for Batam?
Filipino citizens using an ordinary Philippine passport can generally enter Indonesia visa-free for eligible tourism visits of up to 30 days. Therefore, most Filipinos visiting Batam for a short holiday do not need to buy a Visa on Arrival.
The visa-free stay:
- Is valid for up to 30 days
- Is free
- Cannot be extended
- Cannot be converted into another type of stay permit
Travelers must present a passport valid for at least six months and a confirmed return or onward ticket. The Philippines remains on Indonesia’s official list of visa-free nationalities.
If you plan to stay longer than 30 days or travel for purposes not covered by visa-free entry, apply for the appropriate Indonesian visa before traveling.
When to Complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card
You can submit the form starting three days before your scheduled arrival in Indonesia and until your arrival day.
However, it is better to complete it one or two days before traveling. This gives you time to check your passport, ferry, and accommodation information before submission.
For example, if you will arrive in Batam on Friday, you can start completing the form from Tuesday.

How to Fill Out the Batam Arrival Card Online
1. Open the Official All Indonesia Website
Visit the official All Indonesia portal or download the official All Indonesia mobile app.
The application is completely free. Avoid websites that charge a service or processing fee.
2. Select Foreign Visitor
Choose the option for “Foreign Visitor” and change the language to English if needed.
Register or sign in using your email address. Foreign visitors may need to enter an OTP sent to the registered email address.
Step 3: Enter Your Personal, Passport, and Visa Details
Enter your information exactly as shown in your passport:
- Full name
- Passport number
- Nationality
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Passport expiry date
- Arrival and departure dates
You will also be asked, “Do you already have a Visa or Stay Permit?”
- Select Yes if you already have an e-VOA, Indonesian visa, KITAS, KITAP, or another valid stay permit. Enter the visa or permit number.
- Select No if you are a Filipino tourist using Indonesia’s 30-day visa-free entry.
Check all passport and visa details carefully before continuing.
Step 4: Add Your Travel and Accommodation Details
Provide the requested transportation and accommodation information:
- Mode of transport
- Flight number
- Purpose of visit
- Port of arrival
- Hotel or accommodation address
If Bali is your first entry point in Indonesia, select I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS).
For a connecting journey, enter the flight number of the final flight that lands in Indonesia. For example, if you fly from Manila to Singapore and then Singapore to Bali, enter the Singapore-to-Bali flight number.
Enter the name and full address of your first accommodation in Bali. If you are staying with family or friends, use the complete address provided by your host.
Step 5: Complete the Health, Quarantine, and Customs Declarations
Answer every declaration truthfully based on your health, baggage, and the items you are bringing into Indonesia.
The declaration section may ask about:
- Current symptoms or recent health conditions
- Recent travel history
- Animals, fish, plants, seeds, fruit, meat, or related products
- Restricted or prohibited items
- Commercial goods
- Goods exceeding the duty-free allowance
- Excess alcohol or tobacco
- Large amounts of cash
- Electronic devices that require customs or IMEI registration
Some products may require inspection, permits, or supporting certificates. If you are unsure about an item, declare it and ask an officer upon arrival.
For passengers arriving by air or sea, the customs declaration is already included in All Indonesia. You do not need to complete the old separate electronic customs declaration.
Step 6: Submit the Form and Save Your QR Code
Review your passport, visa, flight, accommodation, and declaration details before submitting the form.
Once submitted, the system will generate a QR code. Take a screenshot, download the confirmation, and save a copy offline. If you submitted a group application, confirm that every traveler is listed correctly and arrives together.

Overall a great stay with fantastic views and amazing service!
The room size was perfectly fine, and the single bed was plenty spacious for one person. The highlight was definitely the view—you can see the ferry terminal right from the window—and the clever mirror design in the room was a wonderful touch that really elevated the space. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, proactively helping with my luggage and opening car doors every time. However The pillow quality was average—it was quite high and firm rather than soft and plush, and leaning against it for a while made my back feel sweaty. The biggest bug for me, though, was the elevator system; there are no clear indicator lights or sound chimes when the elevator arrives, so I ended up missing it quite a few times. Despite these quirks, the view and service made it a very enjoyable stay.
I’d also prefer bottled drinking water over the large filtered water dispenser provided, as washing glasses each time was a bit of a hassle.FromPHP 3,829

Apart from the facilities being a little old, everything else was quite good. I would like to make a small suggestion. My child has visited twice, but was reluctant to enter the indoor playground on both occasions because it felt a little scary. The environment in the playground is somewhat dark. Perhaps the playground could be redesigned to be cleaner, brighter, more cheerful and welcoming. I believe this would make children feel more comfortable and encourage them to enjoy the play area more.FromPHP 4,117

Overall, it was quite an unpleasant experience.
1. Booked a non-smoking room but was given a smoking room.
We specifically booked a non-smoking room, and the receptionist clearly confirmed that the room assigned to us was non-smoking. We even signed the T&C agreement. However, we later found out that the room was actually a smoking room. Ridiculous! We ended up staying one night in that room and, thankfully, after making a complaint, the hotel managed to arrange a non-smoking room for us the following day.
2. Avoid booking a connecting room unless you’re travelling with friends or family.
The soundproofing between the connecting rooms is really poor. We could easily hear the guests next door talking and laughing loudly, even after midnight. We had already complained to the receptionist, and although they lowered their voices for a while, the noise started again afterwards and we could still hear them clearly.
To be fair, there are some positives:
1. Good location
2. Wide variety of breakfast options
3. Comfortable bed and pillowsFromPHP 1,924

I recently stayed at Planet Holiday Hotel Batam for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. One of the highlights of my stay was being pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which made the trip even more comfortable and memorable. The suite was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
The hotel’s location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. It’s conveniently surrounded by shopping malls, plenty of food options, convenience stores, and Batam’s vibrant nightlife, making it easy to explore the area without travelling far.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall service exceeded my expectations.
If you’re looking for a hotel that offers great value, a strategic location, comfortable rooms, and excellent hospitality, I would definitely recommend Planet Holiday Hotel Batam. Thank you to the team for making my stay so enjoyable—I look forward to returning on my next trip to Batam.FromPHP 1,394

I had a wonderful experience at Holiday Inn Resort Batam from check-in until check-out. Everything exceeded my expectations.
The staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my stay. The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
We stayed in the Two-Bedroom Suite, which was incredibly spacious and perfect for families or groups. The generous living space made our stay even more comfortable. The only small suggestion for improvement would be to consider adding a sink and a microwave to the unit, which would make it even more convenient for longer stays. 😅
The facilities are truly superb. The swimming pools are large and perfect for both adults and children. The gym is well-equipped, and the spa offers a great place to unwind and recharge. Families will especially appreciate the kids’ game area and leisure room, which provide plenty of entertainment options.
Overall, the combination of excellent service, cleanliness, spacious accommodation, and outstanding facilities made my stay memorable. I highly recommend Holiday Inn Resort Batam to families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. I will definitely return in the future.FromPHP 2,965

This is a pleasant hotel located near Harbour Bay, although it is not within comfortable walking distance.
The food and service were both very good. A special mention goes to the chef preparing the fried noodles—they were outstanding, and I would happily return just to enjoy that dish again.
The guest room was comfortable, but the furniture showed noticeable signs of wear and would benefit from refurbishment or replacement.
The swimming pool access felt a little unusual, as the entrance is located next to the restaurant, while the changing rooms are quite a distance away, making it less convenient for guests.
The gym is spacious, which is a great feature. However, many of the machines were out of order, so maintaining or replacing the equipment would significantly improve the fitness facilities.FromPHP 1,887

We stayed for 3 nights.
Some mixed feelings about the hotel, but happy overall.
Positives:
- Very friendly and helpful staff
- Lovely location
- Free pick up from the ferry terminal
- We were upgraded to two sea-view rooms (only paid for one upgrade and one free) because our family and children needed two conjoined rooms.
- Requested a late check out and given one extra hour.
- Rooms were good and had all the basic amenities
- Great pool
- Good rates
Some negatives
- Breakfast was kinda disappointing. On our first morning, there wasn’t even a buffet spread. Instead we were given menus without many options to order from. I guess they didn’t have enough guests to warrant preparing a breakfast buffet. But the buffets returned for the next days. Again, basic options without too many choices. Expected a bit more, but can’t complain too much for the price.
- Water from the bathroom often leaked out into the bathroom, leaving the entire floor often wet.
- Lots of mice running around loudly in the attic.
Overall, 4.5/5 experience. Would recommend.FromPHP 2,128

The hotel is very close to Batam Central Marina, with a great location. It's located on the 32nd floor. Although it faces away from the marina and the sea, it offers panoramic views of Batam Central.
Check-in requires prior communication with the front desk or via WhatsApp using the phone number provided in your booking. A room key and room card will be provided. Early check-in needs to be arranged in advance.
The biggest problem is the water heater. Even after heating for a long time, exceeding an hour, hot water only comes out for about a minute. Customer service kindly suggested heating it longer, but it didn't help; it just wasn't working properly.
The overall cleanliness is acceptable, but the sofas are quite dirty. The hotel provides 5 bottles of mineral water, snacks, coffee, and tea. Toothbrushes, towels, tableware, a refrigerator, and kitchenware are also provided. The hotel's electrical outlets accept two-prong plugs.
It can accommodate a maximum of 4 people (two in bunk beds and two in a double bed). If there are 5 people, one person will have to sleep on the dirty sofa.
This hotel is considered one of the more upscale apartment hotels in Batam, Indonesia. Another problem is that at 3 a.m., someone downstairs was playing a very loud DJ set, and the whole ground was shaking. It was really annoying.

The location of the hotel was great, just a short 5 mins walk from the Habourbay Terminal. However, was rather disappointed by the service and facilities. (1) Room had a weird stale, musty smell when we first checked in to our room, but the smell eventually went away after 2-3h with aircon circulation. It was bearable but we could really use an air freshener. (2) We were not informed that the gym/pool had opening or closing times. There were also no signs indicating as such. When we tried to visit the gym at around 10pm, everything was already closed. (3) On the amenities, we had to make repeated checks receptionist that we can get a shaving razor and instant coffee. At first, the housekeeping didn't understand what we wanted. The first receptionist at the front desk simply just tried to waive us away by saying they are not available. It was only after we approached a second receptionist did they finally understood and brought it out for us. The shower gel also ran out after the first night and housekeeping did not refill it despite cleaning the room in the day. (4) The hotel spa, despite saying they were open for 24h and that a reservation was required, repeatedly told us to go to their counter at the 4th floor to check on availability. We went there and checked at least 6 times during our 3D2N stay and each time, we were told that there was no immediate availability but to come back at a later time instead. They also turned us away when we tried to make an advance booking. They could have saved time for everyone by just saying there was no availability and reservations were unavailable instead of asking us to come back every now and then. Overall, the service level was very disappointing for a 4-star hotel. There are better and cheaper hotel options around the Harbourbay area.FromPHP 3,141

Good location, not far from ferry terminal.
However when I check in room looks like incomplete with no towel and no pillow cover.
Hope this is something they can improve.
Good thing is there is 24 hours Circle K next to the hotel which is easier to get food and drinksFromPHP 771

Great experience in this hotel, although slide uncomfortable experience with the arrangement of the rooms, as I requested 4 non-smoking room but got smoking rooms instead. However, front desk was able to squeeze in 1 nonsmoking room for us, which was still bearable. One of our family members had her birthday on the 2nd day of the stay, so the staff was able to light decorate the room, and have a special arrangement for breakfast. Great experience for us!FromPHP 1,645

The hotel's location is excellent, really close to the pier, and breakfast is included, which is a nice bonus. The breakfast spread was decent enough. My only suggestion would be to add an extra light in the room. Overall, I'm quite happy with my stay.FromPHP 892

It is a budget hotel showing signs of age, but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but decent, we stayed 2 nights and the buffet menu was slightly changed so it wasn't boring. Standard twin room has a structural pillar in the middle of the room, which was why it was the cheapest but not an issue for us. Will definitely stay again.FromPHP 818
