Indonesia Trials Integrated 'All Indonesia' System at Entikong Border Post

The National Border Management Agency (BNPP) of the Republic of Indonesia has commenced trials of the ‘All Indonesia’ system at the Entikong Cross-Border Post (PLBN) in Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. Head of the BNPP Planning and Cooperation Bureau, Budi Setyono, explained that the All Indonesia system was developed to simplify the arrival process for cross-border travellers by integrating various inspection services into a single web and mobile-based platform. “The All Indonesia application combines immigration, customs, and quarantine reporting for health, animals, fish, and plants in one platform. With this integrated system, the service process for cross-border travellers is expected to become faster, easier, and more efficient,” Budi said in a statement in Jakarta on Wednesday. The trial, conducted on Tuesday, was facilitated by the BNPP together with the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development. The system has previously been implemented at several international airports and seaports, but this marks its first trial at a land border post. Budi noted that Entikong was chosen as the pilot location for the border area due to its infrastructure readiness and representative service characteristics as a main gateway between Indonesia and Malaysia. “PLBN Entikong is the pilot project for implementing All Indonesia in border areas. The results of this trial will serve as the basis for developing and implementing the system at other PLBNs,” he stated. To support the trial, the BNPP has provided various supporting facilities, including Q monitors and service officers. The Immigration office has also proposed the installation of auto gates to further optimise the automated inspection process for travellers. Budi added that the full implementation of the All Indonesia system at PLBN Entikong is targeted for October 2026. To ensure readiness, the BNPP recommends that all relevant Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) agencies, along with PLBN management, intensify public outreach to both departing and arriving travellers. “The success of this system’s implementation depends not only on technological readiness but also on the understanding of the public as service users. Therefore, intensive socialisation must be carried out before the system becomes fully operational,” Budi said.
