Implementing Regulation on Immigration Law Finally Issued

OVERVIEW

Because of the economic benefits associated with the development of cross border travel, nations gladly welcome the increase in traffic. However, despite the benefits for the economy, this can also bring about concerns and challenges, especially on the subject of immigration control.

Such threats and challenges are depicted in the quite frequent occurrence of immigration related issues and cases in Indonesia. For example, there are cases of counterfeit passports being sent from abroad to Indonesia involving Nigerian nationals that were providing counterfeit passports for other Nigerian nationals so that they may overstay in Indonesia.[1]
