Visitors are obliged to wear face masks, wash their hands with soap prior to entering the building using facilities provided at several areas, undergo body temperature checks, apply physical distancing with one another, bring their own stationery and prepare their paperwork at home.
Arvin also advised applicants to utilize the services of state-owned postal company PT Pos Indonesia by having their finished passport sent to them by mail. (kes)
