Foreigners with stay permits can use Jakarta, Bali autogates
Foreign nationals with permanent stay permits (ITAP) and limited stay permits (ITAS) can now use immigration autogates at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta, and I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali.
With this update, ITAP and ITAS holders experience a streamlined entry process, taking just 15 to 25 seconds with facial recognition technology.
Previously, only foreign nationals with e-visas or visa-free visits could use the autogates. ITAP and ITAS holders faced manual entry checks.
As of September 2024, approximately 3.5 million foreign nationals have used these autogates.
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport operates 78 autogates, and I Gusti Ngurah Rai has 90 in operation.
