JAKARTA – The Directorate General of Immigration (DGI) participated in the Kompas Travel Fair at ICE BSD, South Tangerang, Friday (01/09/2023) – Sunday (03/09/2023). At the event, the DGI opened a stand that provided passport services, in collaboration with the West Jakarta Immigration Office and Tangerang Immigration Office. Sub-coordinator for Public Relations of the DGI, Achmad Nur Saleh, said that they opened 100 passport service quotas per day, so that there were a total of 300 quotas. The passport service quota at the event ran out shortly after announcement. "The passport service quota at the exhibition event can be obtained via the M-Passport Application, the procedure is the same as usual. Those applying for a passport at the DGI Expo event can register via M-Passport application, fill out the form and upload photos of required documents, then choose the interview venue at the exhibition location, for example the Kompas Travel Fair ICE BSD. After making a payment, they will get a QR Code for successful payment confirmation from the application," explained Achmad on the 1st day of Immigration stand opening at Kompas Travel Fair, Friday (01/09/2023). Achmad added that this procedure is also applied by the DGI in other expo activities. The DGI will announce the opening of passport service quotas at exhibitions through its official social media accounts, especially Instagram and Twitter @ditjen_imigrasi. "Alhamdulillah, passport services at exhibitions like this are in great demand by the public, the quota is quickly fulfilled. This is because travel fair events like this are held on weekends, usually Friday-Sunday, so it helps people who only available on weekends," he said. Upon visiting the DGI stand, immigration officers will ask the applicant to scan the QR Code on their M-Passport application, then provide an interview queue number. The officer at the front desk will also help check the required documents. Applicants applying passport for the first time are required to bring their E-ID, Family Card, birth certificate, diploma/marriage certificate/baptismal certificate along with their copies. For applicants renewing their passports (already have a previous passport) can simply bring their old passport and E-ID along with the copies. "If the applicant's residence is far from the immigration office providing services at the exhibition, the applicant can request that their passport be sent via Pos Indonesia. We collaborate with Pos Indonesia, so that at every DGI expo activities, there are always post office officers on duty for delivery service of issued passport directly to the applicant’s postal address" he concluded.
