According to the Immigration Directorate General's public relations and public affairs head, Arvin Gumilang, the immigration offices will be limiting their visitor capacity to 50 percent and all applicants are required to register for a waiting number via the immigration iOS or Android mobile application.
The online take-a-number system officially opened on Friday at 2 p.m., he added.
All immigration officials will be wearing face masks, gloves and face shields, and working behind transparent dividers.
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)
