Indonesia immigration enforcement and technology expansion

Overview

Indonesia is implementing various measures to manage and monitor foreign nationals through both increased enforcement and technological upgrades.

Legislators have called for the expansion of immigration patrols across the country, using recent enforcement actions in Bali as a model. These patrols, such as the ‘Patrol Dharma Dewata’ in Canggu, focus on identifying permit violations and overstays while maintaining a ‘humanist’ character.

Simultaneously, the Directorate General of Immigration is enhancing border efficiency by expanding autogate technology. New facilities utilizing face recognition and Border Control Management have been inaugurated in Semarang, while additional automated units are being planned for ports in Batam to accelerate passenger inspections.
