Customs: Personal Items

Items for personal use are generally duty-free. The key is to avoid the appearance of importing goods for sale.

The items you are wearing are fine. Multiple new items in original packaging may be subject to tax.

Cosmetics & Perfume

A reasonable quantity for your trip is permitted.

Prohibited Foods

Avoid bringing fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, or seafood products to prevent quarantine issues.

Over 300 grams

Essential Checklist

Keep these items easily accessible.

Arrival Process: Standard vs. VOA

Visually compare the arrival steps. The Visa on Arrival (VOA) path includes extra steps and potential delays that the VIP service helps you bypass entirely.

Standard Arrival (E-Visa / Visa-Free)

1. Deplane & Follow Signs

A straightforward walk to the immigration hall.

2. Immigration Checkpoint Queue

The main bottleneck. Wait times can be 30-60+ minutes.

3. Baggage Claim

Collect your checked luggage.

4. Customs & Exit

Proceed through the green channel and exit to the arrivals hall.

Visa on Arrival (VOA) Path

1. Deplane & Find VOA Counter

You must stop here before immigration.

2. VOA Counter Queue & Processing

Submit documents, photo, and cash fee. Wait for your name to be called. A major delay point.

3. Immigration Checkpoint Queue

After getting your visa, you join the main immigration line. The second major delay.

4. Baggage Claim

Collect your luggage.

5. Customs & Exit

Finally, you can exit the airport.
