Indonesia - ABTC and Visa Free - out in 7 minutes

Just want to share an experience - last month together with wife was at Bali for short holidays. After landing and getting out from the bus (BTW, it was shortest bus ride ever - 50m) and getting into the building we cleared customs/immigration in less that five minutes due to the fact that we did not need visa and we have ABTC cards.

Totally, I checked, from the moment we stepped into the building and to the moment we were in the car with our driver on the way to the hotel - seven minutes passed.

Compare this 1.5h processing time last year at Yogyakarta when had to stand first to VoA line, then on passport control and finally to pick up our luggage. Lesson learned - have visa in the passport or go to visa free countries, have ABTC on hand and have no checked luggage. Things are MUCH better with this arrangement.
