KBRI legalization
of SURAT AHU SAKE letter and surrender Indonesia Passport.
After you surrender Indonesia passport and get the AHU SAKE
letter legalized in KBRI, the next working day, you will need to collect it in
the afternoon.
KBRI morning operating hour is 9am-12pm- morning strictly for submission.
Afternoon operating
hour 230pm-5pm- Noon
strictly for collection.
As I’m writing this post right now (March 2020), the
whole world suffer from COVID-19 breakout, so every building, offices, embassies will
have temperature screening hence expect delay in entering the embassy building.
Bring cold water to cool down your body temperature especially in a hot sunny day in Singapore. The reason is because when I went to KBRI, they have this temperature check, the thermometer broke and always measured 37C and above. I guess its because of the weather outside, not because fever. But the security guard didn't let me in. Luckily I have ice water in my car so just took that to cool down my "forehead" temperature. Silly.
Bring the collection slip to level 2, counter 12 to get the
legalized documents. Then go to level 1 (no need to take queue number) and take
your “Tanda terima penyerahan passport” and that’s all. You are done for the
day.
So until Oath and applying SG passport, basically you cant go
out of the country.
ICA- Oath of
Renounciation, Allegiance, and Loyalty
During your appointment time, please bring 2 photocopy of
each documents
- AHU SAKE Indonesia version, original downloaded from AHU SAKE website
-
KBRI legalized documents (without photo)
- Tanda terima penyerahan passport in Bahasa Indonesia, don’t worry, no need to translate as ICA knows our format of this document.
and bring original:
- Singapore blue IC
- 3copy of passport-sized photos
- ICA letter
It’s okay to come earlier as you will still need to take
queue number and waiting for queue number.
ICA- Singapore
Passport Application Form (level 1 deposit box)
Bring 3 copies of the passport photos and since you making
trip to ICA already, you can prepare the SG Passport Application Form and paste
your passport-sized photo(x1) in the form as well.
ICA is very efficient, and I still can’t believe it only
took less than 1 hour for me to finish all the submission of documents,
oath-taking, and drop SG Passport Application form. Compare to my trip to KBRI at least I need
1/2day to finish my errand, well, talking about efficiency!
So the ceremony will be 3-6months from now and it will be
conducted in GRC nearby your neighborhood. In the ceremony, they will pass us
the Singapore citizenship certificate and pink IC.
Meantime, ICA gave me temporary slip and punch-hole my blue
IC, which means my blue IC can’t be used anymore. However if you need both certificate and pink IC urgently for housing or school or work relate, you may email them to voice out.
ICA- Singapore
Passport Collection
Using the email/ mail notification letter, go to ICA level 3
for passport collection. Scan the IC/ barcode in the notification letter to get
queue number. It took me less than 40mins to get my passport. Hence kudos for
Singapore’s efficiency again!
Here’s the timeline (for my gold-fish memory)
Oath taking- Wednesday, 4 March @915am
SG Passport application- same day, just drop box. (if you do online application, can do it the next day)
SG Passport collection- Thursday, 12 March @1.30pm
Pink IC collection- Friday, 20 March @8am~4pm convenient
time.
And finally I’ve graduated. Another phase of my life 😊
Glorious to God.
Amen.
