Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer - Fast Track Bali

Hi,

Will be flying into Bali on biz class and was wondering if business class pax will be fast tracked thru immigration. Anyone has an idea as I searched and could not find anything on fast track for Bali.

Thanks.

A little over a year ago, I flew into Bali on SQ in C/J. We were not given fast track passes, but at our arrival time, it did not seem necessary as there were no lines of passengers from earlier flights. This was the flight leaving SIN around 3-4 pm.

Thanks...thats the flight I'm on leaving SIN around 4:25pm.

That said, as with anything in Indonesia, NOTHING is predictable. One day there may be zero other passengers on arrival, the next, 400. If it is a concern for you, there are many arrival services that you can purchase that will swiftly get you through immigrations and customs. Goggle for a list.

Depending where you are staying , you possibly maybe more than ' fast tracked ' ;)

One suggestion.....bring $25USD cash (exact bills if you can, makes life easier, probably a $20 and a $5 would be best...don't remember if they'll take singles or not...be sure they're in good condition) for each person for visa on arrival. Get that first, then get in the immigration line.

Enjoy your trip.

Or one more option is to select a hotel that has a rate whereby the airport fast track is included, I know the IC in Bali has this option. And this way you will not feel like a lost croc ;)

Part of the Amanresorts service ^ , possibly with others like Legian

IC Bali used to have this as a standard club benefit but discontinued that about a year ago.

There are private services, never used them. My singapore HSBC Visa Infinite card comes with free immigration assistance/fast track in about 8 countries including Jakarta and Bali airport.

If staying in Bali for awhile, get your visa ( 60 days) prior to arrival and that saves much time on line. I send my info into HQVisa and visa completed quickly.

Very nice to know. We have the luxury of staying in a private residence when we go, so haven't had reason to use these services. Thanks for posting.

OP was talking about Fast/Track not a Visa

No business class pax don't get fast track. Hotels and even private villas offer that service. We pay for it whenever we goto Bali because wait time is unpredictable. Sometimes we waited 1 hr.

I arrived yesterday (Sun) on that flight in C. First out of the plane but still 30 min to wait at immigration. No fast track.

30 minutes is 30 minutes, but that's not too bad actually considering it's Indonesia.

If you are staying at certain places, like Intercontinental, they can pick you up and you will get fast tracked.

Oh! and if you need a fantastic driver in Bali, please let me know! He's been in the family for years and is amazing.

Thanks all! Have contacted my company rep in Bali to arrange for fast track.

The line isn't that bad, but remember there are 2 lines. 1st you have to go buy a visa, then then get in line for them to stamp it. If you are travelling with someone else, just have another person start waiting in the visa stamping line as it's usually longer.

As others have said, get the Visa on Arrival first. I always make sure I sit as close to the front of the plane as possible to make a fast dash to the counter. I realise the OP is flying business class and would have a head start, but my recommendation is to walk as fast as possible,

The lines are indeed unpredictable, but at their worst they can be awful. That's what I encountered over Chinese New Year - horrifically long lines. I guess that's where opportunities arise and I was approached by several immigration offices who were wandering the hall offering "Express Service". I did not take them up so no idea how much they were trying to scam, but I noticed a few people did and were moved to the counters for the ASEAN countries where no visa is requried and lines are substantially shorter.

After about 45 minutes in line I was one of a lucky bunch of people who were moved over to the ASEAN/Indonesian Citizen area for processing.

So, just beware and as said, move fast !

Cheers

The IC Bali used to have fast track & airport lounge as part of the package when booking a club room, however they don't offer this anymore.

To the OP - Most hotels, including IC, offer an option of including fast-track as part of your package whereby they just book the service on your behalf.

I used the fast track on my visit to Bali when I came in on an SQ flight. It depends on your arrival time, and if it is busy either side of your landing time.

It was a very busy airport on my arrival, and was the best little bit of money I spend - especially considering it was our honeymoon trip.

I would recommend reading this thread, that has many reports and also useful links to check how busy your landing slot is - and more...

There are various local companies operating a semi-official Fastrack Service which can be arranged in advance.

Google Bali Fast Track or here's a link to one of them http://www.exclusive-bali.com/bali/content/english/en/general/travel-service/arrival-and-departure-service.html

Its operated in conjunction with the local Immigration Officials. The same Immigration Guys also usually have an off duty officer looking along the often lengthy lines for potential affluent customers [Sic] willing to pay them for an expedited arrival.

Probably unauthorized but it works for me:D

You will now find guys in the arrival hall offering this service.

Do not pay more than IDR150'000 on top of the USD25 visa fee.

If they ask for more, offer the IDR150 as they always accept with me.

If you are worried and wish to pre-book, search bali fast track on google as there are many services available now
