12:35 – 13:35 Airport Procedures
Upon arrival, first complete immigration procedures. Indonesia allows visa-free entry or visa on arrival for many nationalities for stays up to 30 days, making the process relatively smooth. However, re-checking in luggage is necessary if through baggage is not available. Considering the traffic around the airport, estimate one hour for airport procedures.
