We made it!
All suitcases made it too,
All persons are still sane and survived the Bali arrivals procedure.
We arrived on 14th July 2022 on Thursday with SQ938 arriving on 11.55 mornings in business class.
We as a family were seated in the last rows of the Singapore Airlines 787 business class cabin
The VIP meet&greet service Joumpa offers exactly as advertised, it is a must !
Only because of G20 conference being held at Bali, the aerobridge was full with official CD bobo's so our Joumpa respresentative had to stand around the corner from the aerobridge, where we met him.
He offered to carry our bags, explained the procedure and guided us with excellent English through the different counters/stages.
1) bypass vaccination certificate check
2) direct to Visa Upon Arrival desk
3) passport control = crew / diplomatic lane
4) at the belt got our suitcases and pushed the cart
5) at customs helped the suitcases through the scanner
6) delivered us to IC Bali rep and the waiting minivan transfer to hotel
We were lucky our flight was the first to arrive and we all sat in business class and were off the planes fast so we got a head start before the mass of people appeared.
* all was official with even an official invoice company registrated bill presented, so no bribes or corruption tactics
* no mention at all of penduli lindungi app at all stages
* starting sunday 17 juli, foreigners wishing to travel in domestic flights in Indonesia, need no more pcr-test if vaccinated + at least 1x booster
= can recommend this service

1st bottleneck:
Thanks to Joumpa VIP meet & greet service,
we managed to bypass 1st arrival bottleneck : the vaccination registration certification
! All our data (passport + vaccination certificates) were sent in advance via hotel congierge to Joumpa arrival services
! No need to show health insurance
! No need to show peduli lindungi app
(we had it installed + registered but no additional data uploaded)
Bali hosts the G20 conference this summer
So on to the next step:
2nd bottleneck
Joumpa VIP meet & greet service,
took us direct to 2nd arrival bottleneck : the visa upon arrival payment counter
Our representative made the purchase for us
These are the rates for 30 days visa upon arrival,
can be extended once for another 30 days.......
creditcard payment adds +3%
And now to the 3rd bottleneck
Joumpa VIP meet & greet service,
took us direct to the 3rd arrival bottleneck: passport control counters :
we were allowed to use vip/diplomatic/crew counters on the left hand side
And after passport control onwards to the belt area
After that we went together to the luggage claim area,
where our assistant helped with our suitcases and helped put them through the customs scanner......
ALL bags MUST be X-rayed by customs before exiting the secure arrivals area into the public area
travel is restarting as even monks from Thailand are visiting Bali!
- priority tags Singapore Airlines Business Class work at DPS!
Our 6 suitcases came of the belt amongst the first
Our Joumpa representative knew about our hotel transfer car booked via Intercontinental Bali Jimbaran hotel's congierge and was in communication with our hotel representative. We met him and all together we were guided towards the car pick up point.
Everything went seamless due to booking the Joumpa service via our hotel's congierge and let them arrange and communicate everything.
He then brought us to the hotel representative and guided us to the hotel transfer van.
All worth the effort of having the hotel congierge arrange this service to ensure smooth arrival into Bali.
