Today i want to share my experience when i renewed my passport in indonesian Embassy. My passport itself will be expiring at May 22rd 2013. Then, i decided to renew it in Indonesia Embassy that is in 7 Chatsworth Road, actually it is near orchard road yet it is hard to reach there by bus, no bus stop right there, all you can do only taking cab.
Arrived there, you should leave your any card such as EZ Link, discount card, etc except your IC, Pass because it is maybe needed inside. then, you'll get the guest card name-tag and you should wearing it.
After that, the officer will show you where you should go. then, get the green form near the entry door and walk to near locket to get your queue number.. While waiting, you should fill the green form that you get before.
The important things you should not forget, yes your datas, which are :
- 2 Passport Size Photos (I recommend you to bring your 2 passport size photos. it is expensive to take photo inside there. you will be charged 10S$ to get 6 bad quality photos).
- 1 photocopy passport front side and back side and your passport itself
- 1 photocopy of Kartu Keluarga ( you can ask your family to scan it and send to you)
- 1 photocopy of student pass or any visit pass in Singapore
When your number is shown in the screen above the locket. go to the locket and give all the documents. the officer will check one by one and they will give you bill that you should pay in cashier. it costs S$35 and you only can pay by cash. after that go to the next locket and give the receipt. the officer will ask you to stamp your fingerprint in the green form and your task is finish. they will inform you to come again in following three days work to get your new passport. while you are waiting your new passport, your old passport will be taken by them and you only have your IC that belongs with you.
Flashback to some minutes before go back home. I was waiting the queue and very boring. so i took a look a while my photo in my passport and the new photo that i just took.. here is :(
Thanks God, i will get the new passport with handsome face.. :) ... i don't know who is he in the left photo :). hahaha, it was me in 2007 when i still studied in bachelor degree. and the right one is me now :D
