DPS / Bali E-Gates - Excellent

Arrived DPS yesterday, had done the e-visa on arrival form in advance. Joined immigration queue but after twenty minutes or so, immigration official pulled us out after looking at passports and seeing .pdf e-visa form completed. Through e-gates in seconds very efficient.

As you approach immigration, manned booths are ahead, e-visa counter to left and e-gates further to left. Honestly can't say who can get through e-gates, but UK and Irish passport with advance visa on arrival certainly worked.

Cannot guarantee but my understanding is that any machine readable chip passports with linked eVisa can use the eGates in DPS and JKT

Do they stamp your passport when you use the e-gates?

well, yes - but the authorities might still want to put a date stamp in the passport. It's a process we Brits undergo at some European airports.
It's another of the unexpected joys of BREXIT

What I understand, they send automated email acknowledgement to the email registered for eVisa. But no practical experience. I don't think I want to visit Bali anytime soon, after they removed visa-free entry to Indonesia (old news), and now added Bali tax for the arrivals (recently)...

Upon entry into DPS via e-gate no, when exiting DPS, yes they stamp their small triangular exit stamp (as of this week).

Indeed, same with us. I understand they are installing e-gates for departing passengers, though don't know when they plan to bring them into operation.
