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.

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.

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

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.

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.
