Immigration at Airport


Hi, Whenever I am at the immigration counter there are always people
zipping through the "express lane" on the right side. How can I be one
of those people and how much will it cost? Harry


Dear Harry,

That line is for diplomats or APEC card holder.

But if you want to have VIP pick up service - Santa Fe Relocations can provide the service. You can find their complete contact at here http://www.santaferelo.com/jakarta

or suggest you look at joining the Saphire Club which you can fast tract thru immigration without documents and an iris scan.

To qualify you need to meet the following;
What requirement do you need to apply Saphire Program?
Minimum age : 17 year old or has married.
Indonesian citizens with:
• A valid ordinary passport with minimum validity of 18 months.
• Page passport at least 4 pieces empty.
• Fill in an application form.
• Not included in the list of Immigration prevent-desist.
• Pay the fees as required.

Foreigners with:
• A valid ordinary passport with minimum validity of 18 months.
• Page passport at least 6 pieces empty.
• Fill in an application form.
• Not included in the list of Immigration prevent-desist.
• Pay the fees as required.
• Sponsor letter (download sponsor letter).
• A visa:
• A valid permanent stay permit (KITAP), or a valid temporary stay permit (KITAS) together with a multiple re-entry permit (MREP)
See their website for more details; www.saphire.co.id

Cost is approx Rp3 million pa and I have several friends use this service which they think is great. It can be used outbound or inbound through immigration.

Hope this helps.
