**The order through arrivals.** Passport control first (autogate or visa on arrival), then the All Indonesia QR code, then Customs, where a phone you will use with an Indonesian SIM is registered in the red channel. Next comes the Love Bali levy if you have not paid online, and only then the Grab and Gojek counters or the taxi desk.
