First Point Of Entry: Bali

Flying into Jakarta first?

If you're flying from overseas directly into Bali International Airport, look for the "IPSC World Shoot XV Welcome Desk", situated before the Immigration counters in the arrivals hall. Match Staff on duty at the airport will be wearing match identification, and they will assist you with your "Visa On Arrival" and related formalities.

This video will give you a general feel of what to expect. Once you've handled your Visa and Immigration formalities, proceed to the baggage claim area, but note that your firearms must be cleared before approaching Customs, not at the "Goods to Declare" counter.

Porters in the arrival hall offering their services are not associated with the match organisers, and will expect a small tip (US$1 per bag). If you decide to use a porter, don't let him mistakenly grab your bag containing your firearms & ammunition, and go to the regular Customs counters, as this will cause problems.

After you've retrieved all your bags, the match delegate on duty will assist you with clearance of your firearms and ammunition with Police and Customs.

Once those formalities have been completed, you'll be issued with a claim tag for your firearms and ammunition, which the Police will deliver to official armoury situated at a designated hotel.

You should then proceed through the regular Customs channels with your other luggage. Just beyond Customs, there are a number of banks and reputable money changers. As you exit the arrivals hall, you will be directed to official buses, which only provide free transport to official match hotels.

If you've pre-booked a car and/or driver, ask Match Staff at the airport for assistance in locating him before you leave the terminal.

After you check in at your hotel, you should immediately proceed to the Secretariat at the Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel, in order to obtain your match package.
