Insurance for Indonesian Migrant Workers

The Minister for Labor and Transmigration has issued Regulation No. PER-20/MEN/X/2007 in light of recent changes to the migrant worker regulatory framework and to perfect an earlier regulation, No. PER-23/MEN/V/2003. This Regulation will also ensure the implementation of Article 68 of Law No. 39 of 2004 on the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers Overseas.

Migrant Placement Agencies are under an obligation to enroll all of their candidate migrant workers in an insurance program that is accredited by the Department of Finance. All accredited insurance providers will be part of the Migrant Worker Insurance Consortium.
