Entry mechanism

The ABTC itself functions as a visit visa (Visa kunjungan) under Permen Imipas 4/2025…

APEC's table records Indonesia's Ports of Entry as 'Designated Only': That matched Permenkumham 26/2016, which annexed a checkpoint list. Permen Imigrasi dan Pemasyarakatan 4/2025 revoked it, and its Pasal 18 annexes no list, so the legal basis for a closed designated list appears to have lapsed in February 2025. Treat 'designated' as the safest working assumption. source 1 source 2

Entry mechanism in full: The ABTC itself functions as a visit visa (Visa kunjungan) under Permen Imipas 4/2025 Pasal 15(1). The holder receives a visit stay permit of at most 60 days per visit, which is not extendable (Pasal 16(2)).

Indonesia is a fully participating member: it issues ABTCs and grants pre-clearance. APEC's FAQ names Indonesia among the 19 full members, and Permen Imipas 4/2025 Pasal 15(1) states that such a card 'berlaku sebagai Visa kunjungan'. Indonesia began issuing on 1 May 2004 and moved to the virtual ABTC on 1 April 2021. source 1 source 2

These are the designated ports. Outside this list the card does not admit you.

Kualanamu International AirportMedan	KNO	Arrivals & departuresThe 2007 APEC list named Medan's Polonia airport, which closed to commercial traffic in July 2013. Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration now names Kualanamu, Medan in its Jalur Khusus list and in its 2021 APEC submission. One official Indonesian version of the list omits Medan altogether, so the designation is not stated consistently.	Government source Added sincesource 1 source 2
Polonia International AirportMedan	MES	No laneDesignated port — admitted, ordinary queuePolonia appears in the 2007 APEC list as an Indonesian APEC-lane airport, but it ceased commercial operations in July 2013 when Kualanamu opened. Indonesia's current immigration lists name Kualanamu instead. Polonia's survival in circulating ABTC lists is the clearest proof that those lists are unrefreshed copies of a 2007 document.

Where the old record is wrong

Every widely published ABTC airport list descends from one APEC document whose data is from March 2007. These are the points where that document no longer describes Indonesia.

The 2007 APEC lanes document lists Polonia International Airport (Medan). Polonia closed in July 2013 and Kualanamu replaced it; Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration names 'Kualanamu, Medan' in its Jalur Khusus list and in its September 2021 submission to the APEC Business Mobility Group. source 1 source 2 source 3
The 2007 document's vague plural has been read downstream as 'all Batam ferry terminals have APEC lanes'. Indonesia's own list resolves it: Batam Centre is Jalur Khusus; Sekupang, Batu Ampar, Nongsa, Marina and Teluk Senimba are designated but Tanpa Jalur Khusus. source 1 source 2
The Tanpa Jalur Khusus list still names Adi Sucipto (Yogyakarta), whose international traffic moved to Yogyakarta International Airport in 2020, and Selaparang (Mataram), which closed in 2011. The same pages republish stale foreign data from the 2007 document; only their Indonesia row is reliable. source 1 source 2
Permenkumham 26/2016, which annexed the checkpoint list, was revoked by Permen Imipas 4/2025, signed 7 February 2025. The 2025 regulation's Pasal 18 grants a 'konter khusus di TPI' with no annexed checkpoint list. Secondary ABTC guides still cite the 2016 regime or nothing at all. source 1 source 2

What catches people out

The dedicated lane is a 'konter khusus' (special counter), not a separate hall. At Jakarta CGK Terminal 3 arrivals it is two counters at the right-hand side of the Immigration Hall, nearest the e-Gates.
Permen Imipas 4/2025 Pasal 18 grants the special counter on entry or exit ('masuk atau keluar'), so the facilitation is bidirectional, even though the APEC 2022 table leaves Indonesia's Exit Processing column blank.
Pasal 19 extends the facilitation to the cardholder's family, meaning a spouse and/or children travelling with them. This is unusual, and no secondary list found mentions it.
Pasal 15(2): permitted activities expressly include business, attending meetings, purchasing goods, tourism and onward transit. Indonesia is one of the few economies whose ABTC entry covers tourism.
Pasal 15(3): the ABTC does not work as a visa if the holder presents a different passport from the one it was issued against, is from a transitional member, or has no Indonesian pre-clearance. Canadian and US cardholders therefore still need an Indonesian visa.
60 days per visit and not extendable (Pasal 16(2)), shorter than Viet Nam's 90.
Since 1 September 2025 Indonesia requires a digital arrival declaration (All Indonesia / e-CD). Reporting indicates APEC card holders select 'No Visa' and are given manual assistance by airport officers; no official Immigration statement of this was found, so it is tagged secondary.
Indonesia's own published checkpoint list is itself partly stale; see the baseline corrections.

Questions

Which airports in Indonesia have an APEC fast-track lane?

4 Indonesia airports have a documented APEC Business Travel Card lane: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Juanda International Airport (SUB), Kualanamu International Airport (KNO).

Is an APEC Business Travel Card valid at every airport in Indonesia?

No. Indonesia admits cardholders only at designated ports of entry. Arriving anywhere else, the card does not admit you and you need whatever visa you would otherwise require.

Does the card replace a visa for Indonesia?

Indonesia is a full participating member, so a valid card bearing its code on the reverse grants pre-cleared entry — the ABTC itself functions as a visit visa (Visa kunjungan) under Permen Imipas 4/2025 Pasal 15(1). The holder receives a visit stay permit of at most 60 days per visit, which is not extendable (Pasal 16(2)).. Stays are capped at 60 days per visit.

How this page is checked

Checked 15 September 2026

Every row above was verified against a live source on that date, and each carries the kind of source it rests on. Lane locations, terminal assignments and designated-port lists change without announcement — confirm anything you are about to travel on. Not confirmed: No post-February-2025 Indonesian instrument re-enumerating the designated checkpoints was found; all 20 pages of Permen Imipas 4/2025, including its annex of forms, were read, and peraturan.go.id, JDIH and imigrasi.go.id searched. Nothing establishes a lane at Yogyakarta International or Lombok International, terminal-level lane locations at Denpasar, Surabaya or Kualanamu, or whether Batam's Hang Nadim, Makassar or Manado have since gained one.
