  • CGK - New Immigration Procedure on Arrival

    Effective April 1, the immigration has started collecting fingerprints and photos of all visitors on arrival. From my observation on my trip there last week, this has added roughly 2-3 minutes of clearing time per person. The number of immigration lanes remain the same, so lines have gotten ridiculously long. Depending on how far behind the line you are stuck, it may take up to 90 minutes more to clear immigration.

    259850's suggestions:

    (1) If convenient, try to get visas prior to arrival if necessary.

    (2) Sit at the front of the plane - if in Y on SQ, check in online and get seats in the low 30s rows.

    (3) Do not have too much carryons (carry-ons should be carried-on, not rolled-along).

    (4) As soon as door opens, rush out. Run! Push women and children out of the way! Take the stairs rather than escalators as you near immigration.

    You will have minimal wait at immigration, and will be sitting comfortably in a Silver Bird taxi on the way to city within 15 minutes of touch down.
