Either way, IME, the longest part of arriving at CGK has always been waiting for checked bags to show up.

Are KITAS-holding expats still required to pay a tax at the airport before international departure?
Ehh, I last lived in Indonesia in 2008, so maybe this info is way obsolete.

No exit tax for residents.

We just arrived at CGK yesterday on an international flight. The e-gates are now fully up and running. They can (currently) only be used by Indonesian passport holders or people who have a digital e-visa (so not sure why you would want to queue to get a visa on arrival now....)

Incredible how quickly arrivals are being processed. Well done CGK!

To anyone familiar with the situation: how does it work for those with e-VOA?
What do we do with the printed e-VOA we normally need to show to officers? Do we get a sticker printout for the entry?

Really confused about which terminal each domestic carrier operates from at CGK. Different websites state different things, and I can't seem to access the official CGK website.

Anyone can help me with where each of these carriers operate out of?

NAM/Sriwijaya
Super AIr
Citilink
Batik
Lion
Pelita

The Wikipedia article on CGK has a pretty accurate terminal/airline list and matches what I saw when I flew in and out of that airport last year. Are you planning to fly with all these airlines?

If you have e-VOA you just go to the passport control.
you don't need to print it out. I had the pdf version saved in my phone and just handed my phone to the office. He checked it and I got a sticker to my passport.

Thanks!

Reason I am asking is because I am planning some domestic flights which will involve self transfer via CGK, thus makes it easier to know if I need to change terminal.

Are domestic departing/arriving passengers segregated, or is it like here in the US where one disembarks into the departure lounge area and arriving/departing pax are all mixed. Do domestic connecting passengers require a security check at the transfer point, or can one simply just stay airside and walk over to the next gate?

No worries, but just to answer your question, departing and arriving passengers are segregated, so in most cases you’d have to go through a security check again. While Terminal 3 has a transit checkpoint, I can’t say for sure that Terminals 1 and 2 does have one as well, so chances are you’d have to check in as a normal departing passenger.

Thanks, Was that through manned booths or did you get the entry sticker after passing through autogate?

Thanks for the reply.

Good to know how the transit flow is for domestic flights. Will just plan as if I will have to exit and then reenter the terminal for each of the self connecting flights. Thankfully I will not travel with any checked in bags, so shouldn't be too bad.

Hello all, this is my very first post on FlyerTalk, so I hope it's the right place to ask.

I have a self-connecting flight at CGK later this year, with separate PNRs, and I'm wondering if it's doable. KUL-CGK(T3) on Garuda (economy) arriving at 1400, then a self-transfer CGK(T3)-BRS with KLM (Business) on the same day at 1925. Is 5 hours 25 mins enough for me to get through immigration (I have a ASEAN passport, so free BVK visa) and baggage claim at arrival, and then check back in for my KLM flight?

I'm a SkyTeam Elite+ with Flying Blue. I've asked Garuda about the possibility of using the fast track immigration lane at CGK (Garuda main page says this is only for their own FFP, but then on their SkyTeam partners page suggest it is offered to SkyTeam Elite+ members). Or are the new autogates faster?

Also, does anyone know if I can through-check my luggage at KUL all the way to BRS, since both Garuda/KLM are SkyTeam alliance members? Garuda CS suggest this may be possible, but not sure. That would definitely save me time.

Thanks for any help!

Plenty of time to make the connection, even if you have to clear immigration and security.
You should be able to through check at KUL if you ask nicely, and if the check in agent is willing to do so.
But even if they do not, you have lots of time.

Thank you for allaying my fears - never been to CGK and was going to shell out for a Joumpa escorted transfer, but it seems they are no longer allowed into the sterile airside area.
