My passport journey hasn’t been easy by far. Why
is that? Well, I went to the immigration on the day I applied, February 13,
with a really happy feeling. I got my schedule at 10 o’clock, but I decided to
go there 45min before. Once I arrived, it was still 9.30 in the morning and I
had to fill in some forms. It took me awhile to complete all the forms, and
after everything’s done I handed it in to the registration desk.
The
woman at the registration desk then checks all my documents whilst asking my
occupation in Yogyakarta. I answered it truthfully that I am now working here.
She asked for either my office ID card or recommendation letter from work. Unfortunately,
I didn’t have any of them at that time. She said it’s okay if I didn’t bring it
yet today, then she gave me 5 working days max to come back with recommendation
letter.
It
upsets me, to be honest. But I can’t do anything at that moment, cos I haven’t got
my permanent ID card and I didn’t know if I can ask for recommendation letter
from work since I only been two months in this company. Soon after the ‘rejection’,
I went home to get some sleep to forget the pain :”)
