Preparing for the exchange’s departure to Thailand, IGOV students held a meeting.

IGOV Exchange Partners are in various countries in Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and many more. Thailand is one of the exchange destination countries for Maejo University.

In this semester, IGOV UMY sent nine students for exchange to Maejo University Thailand (MJU). The nine students consisted of various batches, namely IGOV batch 2019 and IGOV batch 2020. The meeting was held by IGOV UMY to discuss further preparations for departure, making visas, and departure procedures. In this meeting, was discusing more related to obtaining a visa.

Moch. Rizza Triananta IGOV batch 2020 provides an explanation regarding making a visa for students who wish to do an exchange to Thailand. Rizza, who had previously departed for the exchange at Khong Kaen University, Thailand, gave a speech regarding the procedure for making a visa. Riza was chosen because he was considered to have sufficient experience in making visas, such as document preparation, requirements, and visa processing procedures.
Rizza said that applying for a Visa at the Embassy of Thailand can be done quickly as long as you have completed the requirements such as filling out the registration form, bringing a letter of recommendation, bringing a passport photo, and most importantly, bringing the LOA. Rizza hopes that this event will make it easier for other students to obtain visas.

“If for example, the requirements are incomplete, the process will continue the next day. For example, if you add more days, you will incur additional costs for accommodation in Jakarta. It’s better for the money to be used for other purposes to prepare the exchange instead of having to wait for days because of administrative errors,” said Rizza (FLT)

Prof. Dr. Dyah Mutiarin explained that there are 3 processes in building a digital service system, namely, Analog Government – E-Government – Digital Government. Indonesia is in the process of transitioning to digital government.Of course, Indonesia is already implementing e-government. The basic difference between E-Government and Digital Government lies in the use of technology used by ASN in public services. E-Government focuses on digitizing all services and information so that it can be easily accessed by Indonesian people, while Digital Government can be implemented if there are adequate human resources so that it can be implemented in Indonesia. As a result, in public services, it has been done with a structured system and a clear system.

Prof. Dr. Dyah Mutiarin Said that Indonesia is currently in the process of moving towards Digital Government, this is expected to increase efficiency, convenience, and better accessibility in public services.
