Immigration on Board

Inspection on board Garuda Indonesia flights

Immigration on Board (IoB) is a special
service created by Garuda Indonesia to
increase the ease of travel for
distinguished passengers travelling to
Indonesia by providing permission to
enter the country during its flights.
While aboard the aircraft, Garuda Indonesia
passengers are able to undergo immigration
procedures and processes, as well as
complete and submit the corresponding
immigration documents.
This service has been implemented as a result
of the good relationship between Garuda
Indonesia and the Directorate General of
Immigration of the Ministry of Law and
Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia,
as well as Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI).
With this service, Garuda Indonesia passengers
no longer have to face the long queues at
immigration when they arrive at I Gusti
Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar,
Bali, or even Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport in Jakarta, allowing them to save time
at the beginning of their trip. Passengers who
use this service will receive an Immigration
Clearance Card to pass through the
immigration counters.
IoB is employed on several Garuda Indonesia
international flights to Denpasar and
Jakarta, including:
• Tokyo (Narita)–Denpasar • Sydney–Denpasar
• Tokyo (Narita)–Jakarta • Seoul–Jakarta
• Osaka–Denpasar
• Shanghai–Jakarta
• Sydney–Jakarta
Garuda Indonesia plans to implement IoB
for all its other flights and routes in the
near future.
