Hasanuddin University (UNHAS) and the Makassar Class I Special Immigration Office officially signed a cooperation agreement for the establishment of a Campus Immigration Point on Thursday, 10 September 2026, coinciding with UNHAS’s 70th Anniversary. The new service allows members of the UNHAS academic community to access immigration services directly on campus. Students, faculty members, and staff can process passport and residence permit applications without having to visit the immigration office.
The agreement was signed by Abdi Widodo Subagio, S.Si., Head of the Makassar Class I Special Immigration Office, and Jamaluddin Fitrah Alam, S.Pi., M.Si., Ph.D., Director of Internationalization at UNHAS. The signing was witnessed by UNHAS Rector Prof. Dr. Ir. Jamaluddin Jompa, M.Sc., and Friece Sumolang, S.H., M.H., Head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Immigration.
Furtermore, Abdi Widodo explained that the Campus Immigration Point is part of Makassar Immigration’s commitment to bringing immigration services closer to the public. During its pilot phase, the service operates every Tuesday and Thursday and primarily serves the UNHAS academic community. “In the future, this service will not only be available to UNHAS students and faculty members. Members of the public and international students from other universities will also be able to process residence permit extensions or passport applications here, as long as their applications are registered through the e-Visa system for foreign nationals or M-Paspor for Indonesian citizens,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rector Prof. Jamaluddin Jompa welcomed the initiative and emphasized UNHAS’s commitment to providing wider public access to university facilities and services. He expressed hope that the Campus Immigration Point could become a model for universities in Eastern Indonesia and support UNHAS’s internationalization efforts.
The services currently available at the Campus Immigration Point include new passport applications, passport replacement due to expiration or full pages, and residence permit extensions for foreign nationals whose applications have been registered through the Indonesian immigration e-Visa system. The establishment of the Campus Immigration Point strengthens cooperation between UNHAS and the Makassar Immigration Office while providing more accessible immigration services for the university community and, in the future, the wider public.
