The Public Service Mall (MPP) officially opened the TPI I Bandung Office on Friday. It is planned to begin effective operations and serve the public starting next week.

The West Bandung Regional Secretary stated that they directly inspected the readiness of the immigration services before operations commence next Friday.

“Today we served 5 people first. We are observing the SOP workflow. And we have already checked everything from the queue number system, which can also be done online,” he said on Friday.

He added that people who want to process passports can register online. This way, when they arrive, their application can be processed directly.

“Calling the queue number, interview, photo capture, filing, and so on up to the payment process have all run smoothly,” he said.

Furthermore, he said that based on the inspection results, several things still need to be improved. This is being done so that immigration services can run optimally next week.

“So it appears there are several things to fix, firstly regarding the BJB counter so it can accept payments,” he said.

“Secondly, according to colleagues from immigration, there are many marriage book clarifications needed, so perhaps colleagues from the Ministry of Religious Affairs need to be present,” he continued.

He also stated that the West Bandung MPP is planned to operate two days a week, namely on Mondays and Fridays.

“Because we also have personnel limitations, so for those two weeks, service will only be for two days, 25 people per day (Monday and Friday),” he said.

He emphasized that the immigration services opened at the West Bandung Regency Public Service Mall (MPP) are for new passports and replacements. The required service time is 5 to 10 minutes per person, depending on document completeness.

“And for now, today we are recording; the passports can only be collected next week because the printing is still done on Jalan Suci or Miko Mall. Regarding the fees, there is the BNBP fee: Rp650 thousand for 5 years and Rp950 thousand for 10 years,” he concluded.

Immigration Office

An Immigration Office is a government facility that processes the entry, residency, and legal status of foreign nationals. Historically, such offices became formalized institutions in the 19th and 20th centuries as nations established standardized border controls and immigration laws to manage population movement, security, and labor needs. Today, they serve as key administrative centers for visas, asylum applications, citizenship, and enforcement of a country’s immigration policy.

BJB counter

Based on available information, “BJB counter” does not refer to a widely recognized historical place or cultural site. It is most commonly associated with **BJB (Bharatiya Janata Party) party offices or help desks** in India, often set up for public interaction and party work. Therefore, it does not have a historical background as a traditional cultural landmark.

Ministry of Religious Affairs

The Ministry of Religious Affairs is a governmental body responsible for overseeing and regulating religious activities and institutions within a country. Its history is tied to the modern nation-state, often established to ensure harmony between different faiths, manage religious endowments, and implement state policy regarding religion.
