This study uses a mixed methods method, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches in data collection and analysis. The research location is at the Class I Immigration Office of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, which is administratively located in Banten Province. The focus of the research is on the role of Immigration Officers and First Expert Immigration Analysts. The study population was 406 people, with a sample of 202 people.
