Immigration Please Citizens Make Simplicial Passports During Weekend, Eazy Passport Every Working Day

JAKARTA - The Directorate General (Dirjen) of Immigration has opened a sympathetic passport service and the eazy passport until January 25, 2023. The policy was issued by Immigration to commemorate the 73rd Bhakti Immigration Day (HBI).

"People can access sympathetic passport facilities every weekend (Saturday-Sunday) and eazy passport specifically for vulnerable groups every working day (Monday-Friday) for 7-25 January 2023," said Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Silmy Karim in a written statement, Sunday, January 8.

Silmy explained that sympathetic passports are services carried out on Saturdays and Sundays with walk-in passport quotas determined by the immigration office. The service is provided to observe increased passport applications, as well as facilitate people who only have time on weekends.

Meanwhile, the eazy passport service is opened to applicants for vulnerable groups, namely children aged under five years old, elderly aged 60 years and over and people with disabilities. To get this service, immigration does not determine the minimum number of applicants.

"Especially for the immigration office in the DKI Jakarta area, the eazy passport will also be supported by a passport service car," said the former President Director of PT. Krakatau Steel Tbk.

"The opening of the eazy passport every working day is close to the 73rd HBI," said Silmy.

This is done to bring immigration services closer to people in various regions. The existence of these two services is expected to provide convenience and comfort, especially for vulnerable groups.
