Jabatan Imigresen August 10, 2007

Took 1/2 day off to have our passport renewed/updated/done yesterday.
Jabatan Imigresen these days is pretty efficient. I got the forms printed from the website (so you don’t have to pay RM1 for each form used) and filled them up the day before.
Yesterday I brought the girls to have their photos taken (which took a while because they just couldn’t sit still or look at the camera), and then straight to Jabatan Imigresen Subang Airport branch.
The girls’ many shots before getting the right photo for their passports
We arrived at 11:45am, and didn’t have to wait long. Got Zara’s photo updated (FOC); applied for Zaria’s passport (RM150); and renewed mine (RM300). We left at 1pm with Zara’s updated passport. Zaria’s and mine would be ready by 2:30pm same day, but I didn’t want to wait, so I will have to go back next week to collect.
The counter staff were courteous, and efficient! I think our goverment departments are getting better these days.
I was also very impressed to see this :
A nursing room in the waiting hall! Way to go Malaysia!
What is your superpower?
going somewhere?
not bad, eh? they’re slowly picking things up! those mugshots look pretty cool…
those pics sure look good…esp top R hand corner that one…
if you wanna know what a REALLY BAD passport picture looks like…hahaha…you wait, wait arr…one day i will upload my baby’s passport picture (taken at 13 days old)… o_O
yea..I think they are very efficient! luckily Zaria isn’t a wobbly baby!!!
Hie,
Love the pics.. Zara looks so pretty. Wow, its so fast now ya.. and looks like the goverment sector is improving.. which is about time!
Yeah, it was very easy when we did Irfan’s too. My mom and brothers just renewed theirs a few days back and said things are efficient now. Way to go!
the kids photo need to update one ah?? KW is still using the baby photo on her passport!! hehe
great that they have a nursing room as was planning to take max to apply a passport and i was thinking to myself where can i BF him if he’s angry.
opps sorry shud be hungry not angry…
good good .. efficient services
went to JPN Putrajaya last month to apply for new mykad (mine hilang) and get a brand new copy of Birth cert for Misha (becos the ink on the birth cert smeared) all in 30 minutes
that’s fast actually
Oh that is how to take passport photos for kids lah. Need to do that too soon. I think I must be prepared to take a lot of shots since the boys cannot sit still or smile properly at camera.
thinking to apply passport for Elijah too, how to take the little baby’s photo?by holding him?
zara look cool and smile sweet while zarie must be curious of this taking photo session..
heh.. when u plan to go ???
Hey!
I was so glad to hear from you! It’s been what… 1,5 years?
And so much has happened. I’m moving to Japan in 3 weeks!
Since I don’t have a blog anymore, send me email to meira.pappi at gmail.
And congratulations on your second child!!!
mei
The passport photos look quite nice! Next time you can try taking the photos using your own camera and get the photo printing shop to print out in passport size, the quality would be much better.
are u coming to australia to visit me?!!!
see!! i knew m’sia is improving!
way to go, m’sia!
btw, i LOVE your comment about stem cell research on my blog!!!
wah u guys travelling eh hehe
Whoa! I am so impressed too when I saw the nursing room. So, did you go in there to check? Btw, why is applying new passport cheaper than renewing? They have children rate? LOL
wit kids, there is a priority not to queue isnt it?
The nursing room is really something impressed me! Passport done, what’s next? Planning for a trip w/ kids…….very lucky-le….
That is very efficient! Wanna know how long I waited for jenna’s passport? 4 months!!! And we’re supposedly in a 1st world country!
you had it lucky eh…i was the total opposite with rye li’s. actually i didnt know we dont have to queue (my total ignorance!) if i got a young kid but we did anyway. only thing i was impressed is that it was fast when collecting the passport at subang.
and i had to take her picture there since the one we took at the shop was rejected, the background was my orange shirt so they said we have to take a new one for her. and the picture turn out darn ugly, well not as nice as the one we took earlier.
Where are you going with the children? Wow, do you have to pay for all those shots?
but then again..why so efficient also got reason one leh..cash cow ma!! i remember we had to carry Kieran to take the photo cos he was only 6 months old…
wow Zara can sit alone and smile without any fear hor! Brave girl.
Hai, Lyon ar sure want me stand beside her..:(
wow Z sisters must be excited! passport means holiday and fun and disneyland!!!
Yes! Very impressive indeed. Guess very soon, Zaria will be taking her first ride on the plane.
they must be soo patient taking soo many shots…
Zara soo kuai sitting down and smile…
aiyoh aiyoh itu amoi manyak cantiK! very pretty zara and cute zaria…
Zara is really getting long hair now. Cute smiler. Zaria can sit up straight now.
So you guys planning a trip?
Not all department is so efficient. But I can say the Immigresien department has improved tremendously compared to previously which sucks big time. Try going to the JPJ or police station. lol.
zara looks like a big cheh cheh…
and wow! they have a nursing room in at the immigration office? I’m impressed.
when i applied for yiu yiu passport, it was pretty pleasant too, except that i got turned away the first time. it was a friday and i arrived about 10 minutes before their closing time. i didn’t take leave coz i thought i could just squeeze it into my lunch hour. was quite pissed coz i had to take EL to go again in the afternoon. but they redeemed themselves with the efficient service and i was out of there in 15 minutes.
Oh kids passport cost RM150 only?
my service there was so slow …. mother with kids but no fast counter … i applied last year .. i was so frus with the waiting. i went to the one is SA … maybe urs was somewhere diff. great … travelling again?
