Making Passport at Immigration Office

Heyho, Maders! Have you ever gone overseas? Surely you need a passport, don’t you? It’s like international citizenship card to let you go anywhere in this world. Hm, there’s visa too actually but this time I just wanna talk about passport.

I made my passport at Immigration Office 7^th floor, HSBC Building at Gajahmada Street, Semarang. The main office is at Siliwangi Street, but it’s too far for me. Just the same anyway.

Firstly, you go inside and tell the security that you’d like to make passport and take the queuing number. Extra patience! I warn you. Hahaha. Then the customer service will call your number and you give them the documents needed such as certificate of birth, family card, and identity card along with the copies. If it’s done, you’ll receive a form to fill out while going back to sit.

Next, you’ll be waiting again for interview and photo session. Another extra patience! Honestly, the questions are about what country you’ll visit and why. Mostly people will say Singapore and for holiday. Yeah, right!

Look, you must be polite with the staff. Give them your big smile and bright face. I know you’re tired, so are they! If you can laugh together with the staff during the interview, it will be awesome and the process will go well. Trust me! Some of the people there were having trouble with the server. Pray a lot and gain luck, okay.

Finally, you can go home and transfer the money to BNI. My advice is to transfer through teller cause you’ll get payment proof from the bank. Better than you do it through ATM. After the payment, you need to wait for 3-4 days and go back to the immigration office to take your passport. Simple!

Don’t hesitate to make passport because it can be used for 5 years. We have no idea what is gonna happen in the future right. Although you get no plan for going abroad, you had better still make the passport. Who knows there’s a sudden agenda to go abroad with your family or someone pays the whole of your traveling fee. Ahhh, amin!

Well, that’s all for today. Thanks for reading my blog. Happy making passport, Maders!
