Thats right, you are ushered aside and dont have to wait in the queue to purchase your VOA and then wait in the queue to have your passport checked.
It just amazes me how the service works when the passport control/immigration officer does not physically sight your face and match it with the passport, but, thats how it is.
They may collect your bags, not sure on that, but you must clear customs with your own bags.
