Minggu, empat November dua ribu delapan belas, jam tiga lebih tiga puluh tujuh, sore.

Fyi, hari ini saya menulis posting dalam Bahasa Indonesia.

Kali ini saya akan bercerita pengalaman saya membuat Paspor. Apa itu paspor? Tidak akan saya bahas disini yaaa, silahkan klik 👉 disini 👈 untuk mengetahui lebih jelas apa itu paspor.

Cerita dimulai......

2 Februari 2018, saya dan teman saya pergi ke Kantor Imigrasi kelas II, Cilacap. Kenapa dari Purwokerto jauh-jauh ke Cilacap? Karena di Purwokerto ngga bisa, mba -_-

Oh iya, sebelum pergi ke Kantor Imigrasi, saya sudah terlebih dahulu mendaftar antrian secara online melalui website Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Cilacap. Berdasarkan informasi yang saya peroleh, pendaftaran antrian bisa dilakukan secara manual maupun elektronik, dan menurut saya pendaftaran online/elektronik lebih praktis digunakan karena saya tidak perlu datang langsung ke Kantor Imigrasi. Melalui pendaftaran online saya juga dapat memilih hari dan waktu sendiri.

Setelah melakukan pendaftaran, saya menyiapkan semua berkas persyaratan yang diperlukan. Berkas persyaratan yang dimaksud dapat kalian lihat disini. Di halaman tersebut juga terdapat prosedur pengajuan Paspor. Silahkan dicermati (kalau mau bikin paspor, kalau engga ya ngga usah)

Setelah semua berkas persyaratan yang diperlukan sudah siap, saya pergi ke Kantor Imigrasi sesuai dengan hari dan waktu yang sudah saya pilih di daftar pilihan pada saat saya mendaftar antrian secara online. 

👧: "Katanya online nggak perlu ke Kantor Imigrasi? Gimana sih?"
👱: "Pendaftaran antriannya yang dilakukan secara online"
👧: "Kalau sudah online kenapa harus ke Kantor Imigrasi?"
👱: "Karena ada sesi wawancara dan rekam biometrik, mba."
👱: "Memangnya data-data biometrik seperti sidik jari mau dikirim pake telepati, mba?"

*perdebatan selesai*

Singkat cerita, di Kantor Imigrasi saya menyerahkan bukti antrian online (yang saya terima melalui email), kemudian saya menunggu untuk dipanggil. Setelah menunggu beberapa saat, saya dipanggil untuk melakukan wawancara dan rekam biometrik.

Setelah selesai melakukan wawancara dan rekam biometrik, saya diberi receipt untuk melakukan pembayaran biaya penerbitan Paspor dan biaya Rekam Data, keseluruhan biaya yang saya keluarkan sekitar 700ribu rupiah dengan rincian sebagai berikut: Rp. 300.000 untuk biaya penerbitan Paspor, Rp. 50.000 untuk biaya rekam data biometrik, sisanya adalah biaya main ke pantai Teluk Penyu dan foya-foya.

Paspor baru bisa diambil setelah 3 hari kerja terhitung sejak melakukan pembayaran, dan pada waktu itu saya baru bisa melakukan pembayaran di tanggal 5, karena setelah selesai melakukan rekam data, bank sudah tutup dan hari itu adalah hari Jum'at sehingga saya harus menunggu sampai hari Senin baru bisa melakukan pembayaran.

9 Februari 2018, saya datang lagi ke Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Cilacap untuk mengambil Paspor saya dengan membawa bukti pembayaran yang diberikan oleh teller bank. Tidak perlu mendaftar antrian secara online lagi, karena proses pengambilan jauh lebih sepi daripada pendaftaran. Pengambilan nomor antrian dilakukan secara manual di mesin antrian.

Setelah menunggu beberapa saat, tibalah giliran saya untuk mengambil Paspor. Yeay!

Begitulah cerita pengalaman saya membuat paspor. Anda ingin buat paspor juga? ya sana.

The program is Credits-Earning Program, and it is established between two universities: Sofia University - St. Kliment Ohridski and Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto.

Long story short, I read about the scholarship on a brochure that was posted or broadcast somewhere-I-do-not-remember. TBH I was not interested at first, because my goal was to graduate and receive my bachelor degree asap ⌛. Then, one of my lecturer explained to me about the program, what I am supposed to do, and what is covered by "the grant". Considering the amount of precious experience that I will possibly received by joining this program, I was suddenly motivated. 💪👱

It was not that simple, because I had to fulfill all the required documents, meet the qualification, and do some selection procedures.

this is the brochure that I previously mentioned, credit goes to the person who designed it

Administratively, I met all the requirements that were asked. Then I had to follow the next steps. They were departmental interview and institutional interview. The questions asked were basically about: how I would survive, how could I manage the culture shock, what contribution I could possibly give to the program, etc etc.

I do not remember how many days did it take until the announcement was published.

But here it is:

YAY! 🎉

I was chosen to be one of two students to join the credits-earning program in Sofia University - St. Kliment Ohridski.

I was so grateful, well, I am. 👼

Few days later after the announcement was published by UMP, the coordinator of Erasmus+ Programme in International Relation Office of Sofia University - St. Kliment Ohridski sent me an email, telling that I was selected to join the Student Mobility, and the communication that was previously established between two universities by then was done directly by SU-IRO and me.

The name of my coordinator in UMP is Mr. Novan and my coordinator in Sofia University is Ms. Desislava Ivanova. Both of them have helped me a lot during the Pre-Mobility 😭 (Thank YOU, so very much!)

Ms. Ivanova herself has helped in so many things, for instance, when there was a new regulation saying that my VISA should be supported by purchased ticket (read the complete story, here). She also helped me in my application form, and even after arriving, she helped my in making my bank account.

May God bless them both 🙏

Amen! 😃

Well, I believe this is the end of this post.

See you on my next post.

Ciao!

GOOD MORNING ⛅ GOOD CITIZEN

I have decided to write down my experience on joining the Erasmus+ Programme, and I hope you have been prepared 'cause I will write my story down from the very beginning. 😹

Before going on, I'll give you the outline of Erasmus+ Programme. In general, the phases are:

1. Pre-Mobility (Before Mobility)
2. During Mobility
3. After Mobility

In short, Before Mobility is the period of preparation before the students' departure to the designation country, in my case, Bulgaria. During Mobility is the phase that is done in the designated country, it's the time when I am writing this post. After Mobility is the phase when you have done all the courses along with the exams that follow in the receiving institution.

In my case, my preparations were as follow:
󠄀🔍Applying for Selection,
📘 Making Passport,
✍Filling in The Application Form,
📑Providing Travel Insurance,
🌍Issuing VISA of Republic of Bulgaria,
⌛ Proposing Liberty of Current Semester.
-------------------------------------------------------✈
🚀Flying to Bulgaria

I will explain the details of each step on separated post, but don't worry 'cause I'll link them once it's done.

Bye for now! *CHEERS*

Good evening from Sofia. It's 17.58 in the evening when I was editing this introductory post. I start writing on my blog after being dormant 😴 for years.

Ah ah ah *laughing expression*

I  do not exactly remember when was the last time I posted something on my blogger and on my tumblr page.

Before you keep reading, I want to make sure that you don't think this handsome guy wearing hat and glasses is me, do you?

Alright, let's continue, shall we?

Long story short, I start writing again, even though I know nobody reads my page because it would waste their time, just like you wasting your time, like, right now.

Hahahaha *evil laughter* 😈

It's been few sentences, I believe I should start introducing myself:

My name is Bagas Prayogo Utomo. I am the 3rd kid 👶 in my family. I have a sister and a brother. I was born in Banjarnegara, a small city with large area (contradict, I know). I was raised there. After graduated from SMA N 1 Banjarnegara (a senior high school), I continued my higher education in Universitas Negeri Semarang. I selected Civil Engineering as my major. I only lasted 2 years, LOL. Being engineer was my plan, but my brain said "nope", and yes, I resigned.

I believe that education is important, and I really enjoy studying (liar) 👀. I decided to go to another university near my hometown. In 2016 I registered myself as a student in Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. I chose English Education as my major, and good things have started happening ever since.

I would describe myself as a detail-oriented person. I love watching movies, listening to music and watching someone arguing with another. I love to go to beaches, and I am not a fan of mountain (read my Vitosha Hiking post, I'll post it soon)

I like making friends but I am bad at picking up a line to start -_-

㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐㇐

When I was writing this post, I am currently staying in Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria. I am joining an earning credits under the frame of Erasmus+ Programme that is funded by European Commission.

So, that's few things about me.

See you on my next post!

*CHEERS!* 🍺
