Jakarta, IO – Head of the Class I Immigration Office at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (SHIA), Muhammad Tito Andrianto, said public interest in cross-border travel is increasing, including applications for Indonesian passports.
To accommodate this spike in demand, SHIA Special Immigration Checkpoints (TPI) continues to increase the number of passport applicants through the M-Passport application.
“We see that people’s enthusiasm is very high in traveling overseas,” explained Tito, as reported by Detik, Monday (6/6).
For example, said Tito, in April there were 182,282 Indonesian citizens (WNI) who travelled abroad compared to just 28,208 in the same period last year.
