if you are intending the normal 30 day maximum tourist stay.
Visa on arrival is mandatory (although I think Garuda are processing some on board...same principle)
What you refer to is the VIP service where you are escorted through the arrivals process.
If you "search the forum" under VIP there is much comment on it.
