West Bandung MPP to Provide Immigration Services Starting Next Week

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

It was stated that officials directly inspected the readiness of immigration services before operations commence next Friday.

“Today we served 5 people first. We observed the SOP flow first. And we have already checked everything from the queue number system, which can also be done online,” it was said on Friday.

It was added that people who wish to process passports can register online. This way, when they come to the office, they can be processed directly.

“Calling the queue number, interview, photo capture, document processing, and so on up to the payment have all run smoothly,” it was said.

Furthermore, it was stated that based on the inspection results, several things still need improvement. This is being done so that immigration services can run optimally next week.

“So it appears there are several things that need to be fixed, firstly regarding the bank counter so it can accept payments,” it was 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,” it continued.

It was further stated that the West Bandung MPP is planned to operate two days a week, namely Mondays and Fridays.

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

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

“And for now, today’s applications will be processed for pickup next week because the printing is still done on Jalan Suci or Miko Mall. Regarding the cost, there is the Non-Tax State Revenue fee: 5-year passport is IDR 650 thousand and 10-year passport is IDR 950 thousand,” it was concluded.

Telkomsel

Telkomsel is not a place or cultural site, but a major telecommunications company in Indonesia. It was founded in 1995 and is a subsidiary of the state-owned Telkom Indonesia, playing a key role in the development of the country’s mobile network infrastructure. Therefore, it does not have a historical significance as a cultural landmark, but rather as a pivotal corporate entity in Indonesia’s modern technological history.

Indonesia

Indonesia is a Southeast Asian archipelago nation of over 17,000 islands, historically shaped by powerful Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms like Srivijaya and Majapahit, followed by centuries of Islamic influence and Dutch colonial rule. Its rich cultural identity is a vibrant tapestry woven from these diverse historical layers, evident in its thousands of ethnic groups, languages, and traditions. Today, it is the world’s largest Muslim-majority country and is renowned for iconic sites like the Borobudur Temple and Bali’s unique Hindu culture.

West Bandung

West Bandung is a regency (kabupaten) in West Java, Indonesia, established in 2008 after being administratively separated from the larger Bandung Regency. The area is known for its scenic highland landscapes, tea plantations, and volcanic attractions like Tangkuban Perahu. Historically, its development has been closely tied to the colonial-era exploitation of its natural resources and its role as a hinterland for the major urban center of Bandung.

Immigration Office TPI I Bandung

The Immigration Office TPI I Bandung is a government office in Bandung, Indonesia, responsible for processing immigration services such as passports and visas for the local population. While its specific institutional history is not widely documented, it operates as part of Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration, a system established to manage migration following the country’s independence.

Ministry of Religious Affairs

The Ministry of Religious Affairs is a government institution responsible for overseeing and regulating religious activities, interfaith relations, and the administration of religious law within a country. Its history is tied to the modern nation-state, often established to formalize the state’s relationship with religion, ensure harmony among different religious communities, and manage religious endowments and pilgrimages. The specific founding date and historical role vary significantly by country, reflecting each nation’s unique political and religious landscape.

Jalan Suci

“Jalan Suci” (Holy Road) is a common name for the main pilgrimage route in Lhasa, Tibet, which encircles the Jokhang Temple, Tibet’s most sacred Buddhist site. Historically, this circumambulation path has been walked by devout pilgrims for over a millennium, since the temple’s founding in the 7th century, as a core ritual of Tibetan Buddhism. Pilgrims walk the route, often performing full-body prostrations, to accumulate merit and pay homage to the temple’s revered statue of Jowo Shakyamuni Buddha.

Miko Mall

Miko Mall is a large shopping center located in the city of Miko, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It opened in 1994 and has since become a major commercial and community hub for the region, featuring hundreds of stores, a cinema, and event spaces. The mall’s development was part of the broader suburban expansion and retail growth in the Greater Tokyo Area during the late 20th century.

Public Service Mall (MPP)

The Public Service Mall (Mal Pelayanan Publik or MPP) is an Indonesian government initiative designed to streamline public services by consolidating various agency counters into a single, integrated location. Established to improve efficiency and transparency, the first MPP was launched in 2015 as part of a national bureaucratic reform program to reduce red tape and provide faster, more convenient services to citizens.
