Gus Men, his nickname, assessed the implementation of the 1445 H/2024 M pilgrimage to run well and smoothly. "On behalf of the Government of Indonesia and all Indonesian pilgrims, I would like to thank all services of the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to pilgrims, especially Indonesian pilgrims," he continued.Gus Men also expressed his appreciation for Smart Card or Nusuk Card innovations, which can distinguish between official and unofficial pilgrims. "At Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina everything went smoothly because only official pilgrims can perform good worship," he continued. Gus Men also appreciated the provision of fast track facilities by the Government of Saudi Arabia.Fast track, he explained, is a pre-cleancess facility or examination of immigration documents, such as visas and passports, carried out by the Immigration of the Government of Saudi Arabia in Indonesia, so that, upon arrival at the Airport of Medina or Jeddah, he could go straight to the bus to the hotel. So far, he continued, fast track services are provided for pilgrims departing from Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Starting this year, Indonesia will get two additional fast tracks facilities, at Adi Soemarmo Airport Solo and Juanda Surabaya.
