All Indonesia is an arrival or entry card to Indonesia that has only been implemented since September 1 at some international arrival points. To be enacted nationwide as of October 1, what differentiates this card from the previous arrival card?

One Melbourne resident, Rocky Kristianto, said he had used this arrival card when he travelled to Jakarta on July 29. Flying with Garuda Indonesia, Mr Kristianto said he was following instructions given by the airline to use the new form.

Immigration Attaché at the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Sydney, Fachryan, said that although it was reported that it had only been implemented since September 1, the Indonesian national airline had been testing the All Indonesia card for some time before.

The application already uses a layered security system and a high level of encryption.
