New Provisions on EIS-I Card Facilities at Immigration Checkpoints Enter into Force on 28 November 2022

The Minister of Law and Human Rights (“Minister”) recently issued a number of updated provisions that address the use of the Electronic Information System for Immigration Cards (“EIS-I Cards”) at official immigration checkpoints. These provisions are set out under Regulation No. 13 of 2022 (“Regulation 13/2022”). At its core, Regulation 13/2022 emphasizes that the EIS-I Card should also be used by foreign citizens and Indonesian citizens whenever they travel to/from Special Economic Zones (Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus - “KEK”) in order to ensure easier immigration processing,[1] as originally mandated under Regulation of the Minister No. 28 of 2021 on Immigration Facilities and Ease in KEK.[2]
