Tip. If you go to Indonesia dont go through the E gate, use normal immigration channel. E gate dont stamp your passport and you need the stamp for your application.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When traveling to Indonesia, it's suggested to avoid the E-gate when passing through immigration due to not receiving a passport stamp, which may be necessary for visa applications. However, some users note that they received a confirmation email from immigration after entering through the E-gate, which can also be used as documentation for applications. Experiences vary, and it's advised to consider how your entry method might impact your visa process.

Not really. Used the gates and have sent my boarding pass and the custom form. DTV Approved.

Do they simply reject your application or request additional documents
