Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services implements Work From Anywhere post-Eid to save fuel

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services (Kemenimipas) has implemented a work from anywhere (WFA) system to save fuel consumption.

Head of the Data, Information, and Communication Centre of Kemenimipas, M. Akbar Hadi Prabowo, confirmed in Jakarta on Friday that WFA is being applied from 25 to 27 March 2026.

“Kemenimipas has implemented work from anywhere (WFA) from 25 to 27 March 2026,” said Akbar.

He stated that this WFA policy is mainly enforced at the central office level and regions that do not provide direct public services, such as immigration service offices and correctional service offices (prisons, detention centres, and child welfare institutions).

“Offices that deal directly with the public remain open as usual,” he said.

In particular for prisons and detention centres, he noted that during the Eid holidays, they are eagerly awaited by families of inmates for visits to relatives serving sentences.

He mentioned that the continuation of the WFA policy for subsequent working days is still awaiting instructions from Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services Agus Andrianto.

“Currently, we are still awaiting instructions from the Minister regarding the WFA policy after 30 March 2026,” he said.

According to him, the WFA policy within Kemenimipas was discussed before the Eid holiday and agreed to be implemented from 25 to 27 March 2026.

“This step is taken with the aim of reducing the burden on the state budget subsidy and significantly saving fuel consumption,” said Akbar.
