Acting Director General of Immigration, Saffar Muhammad Godam, confirmed in Jakarta on Tuesday that despite the schedule adjustment, public services will remain optimal.
“This adjustment is made to respect and accommodate both the public and employees observing Ramadan fasting while ensuring that immigration services continue to run efficiently,” Godam stated on March 4, 2025, as reported by antaranews.com.

According to government regulations on working hours during Ramadan 1446 Hijri (March 2025), the new immigration office hours are as follows:

Godam explained that this adjustment aligns with the Ramadan working hours set by the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform.

“On behalf of the immigration department, I would like to extend my best wishes to all Muslims in Indonesia for a blessed and fulfilling Ramadan,” Godam concluded.
Reduced Working Hours for Civil Servants During Ramadan
Earlier, Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, Rini Widyantini, stated that President Prabowo Subianto has approved a reduction in working hours for civil servants during Ramadan.
Throughout the month, civil servants will work 32 hours and 30 minutes per week, averaging 6 hours per day for a five-day workweek.
This policy is in line with Presidential Regulation No. 21/2023 on Government Office Hours and Civil Servant Work Schedules, which aims to maintain public services while enhancing productivity among government employees.
“The regulation ensures that civil servants can continue providing essential services while optimizing their productivity,” Rini stated in an official press release on Friday, February 28, 2025, as reported by tempo.co.
