BADUNG — The Class I Special Immigration Office (TPI) of Ngurah Rai has launched a new public outreach program called MAYASWARI (Mobile Layanan Informasi Imigrasi / Mobile Immigration Information Service), an innovative initiative designed to deliver immigration information and education directly to the community.
Through Mayaswari, the Ngurah Rai Immigration team visits various public locations such as schools, shopping centers, community hubs, and other busy areas to raise public awareness about immigration duties, functions, and service procedures in an engaging and accessible way.
The program’s inaugural session took place on Wednesday (Oct 29) at SMP Mutiara Bali, Jimbaran. In his opening remarks, Ferry Tri Ardhiansyah, Head of the Information and Communication Technology Division at Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, emphasized the importance of early education about immigration.
“Young people need to understand immigration rules and procedures correctly. Through this initiative, we aim to build awareness from an early age about the importance of compliance with immigration regulations,” said Ferry.
A total of 32 ninth-grade students from SMP Mutiara Bali participated enthusiastically, accompanied by teachers and school administrators. The session covered topics such as passport services, stay permits, and immigration regulations for both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals. The materials were delivered in a light and interactive manner, tailored for younger audiences.
The event also featured an interactive discussion session, where students eagerly asked questions related to immigration procedures. School representatives expressed their appreciation for the visit, highlighting its educational value.
“We are grateful for this initiative and the knowledge shared with our students. It’s an inspiring way for them to understand the role of Immigration in daily life,” said one of the school’s representatives.
Through Mayaswari, the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office hopes to strengthen public access to accurate immigration information while fostering awareness about the importance of administrative compliance and responsible citizenship.
The Mayaswari program will continue to visit more public spaces in the coming weeks, including Arjuna Disaster Shelter, Seminyak on November 6, 2025, and Discovery Mall, Kuta on November 13, 2025.
With this initiative, Ngurah Rai Immigration reaffirms its commitment to providing inclusive, informative, and community-centered services for the public.
