May 15, 2024

This is an official Port of Entry.

See Indonesia Formalities for details on clearing into and out of Indonesia.

Clearance Procedures in Padang

It will probably take a whole day to clear-in here as you will need to visit the Immigration office in Padang town (about 30 minutes away from Teluk Bayur by road), plus Health/Quarantine, Customs and the Harbour Master, who fortunately are all located nearer the anchorage.

To clear out of Indonesia you have to go to Immigration first, then Customs and Health and lastly the Harbour Master. Customs will want to visit your boat and take some photos during the inspection. Their taxi fare is at your expense and they have their own timetable so expect some waiting around. They might come with their own patrol boat unless it is away on maintenance, in which case you will have to transport the officers in your dinghy.

Fees to check out our 20,000 Rp for Health and approx. 15,000 Rp for port clearance. Make sure to ask for a receipt as "special fees" or "gifts" may be requested.
