Bless them, they try to make things easy for us.

first herd us through a temperature check funnel, easy!
then to the vaccine check guichets. Most windows carry labels - priority, diplomatic etc, but no-one cares - so the best strategy is probably to choose the shortest line to any manned window.. lots of functionaries beind the perspex screens, but in the Indonesian way, mny will be involved in anything other than their jobs. the process can be very fast once you get attention. I simply show my NHS app comfirmation of 3 shots, they stamp my boarding pass (best to temember to hang on to it) and i move on to the next stage.

Me and stamped boarding pass + IDR50k to tha VoA acquisition counter, then with all the paperwork over to the adjacent immigation queue

no one showed the remotest interest in the PL app, though YMMV, so best to have it. Ive not mnaged to get my vaccine status recognised on the app. We sre supposed to use it to scan QR codes entering malls etc, but in Jakarta incompetent foreigners get waved through 😄


mid morning arrival, off the plane to leaving the terminal was less than 30 minutes, including the marathon walk from the gate. I was luggage-free..

mask usage in JKT is near universal among indonesians, but many foreigners ignore the convention and indonesians are far too polite to remind them of the law.
