BALINEWSID.COM, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration has recorded significant performance achievements during the tenure of Acting Director General Yuldi Yusman, who has served since April 23, 2025.

Throughout 2025, the agency generated Rp10.4 trillion (approximately USD equivalent) in Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) as of December, marking the highest figure in the institution’s history. The amount represents 155 percent of the 2025 target of Rp6.55 trillion and an 18 percent increase compared to Rp8.62 trillion recorded in 2024.

The strong performance was driven by high demand for immigration services from both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals. During 2025, Immigration issued 4,033,676 passports, 7,551,371 visas, and 1,369,012 stay permits.

In addition to boosting state revenue, the Directorate General also reinforced its supervisory and law enforcement functions. Throughout the year, authorities recorded 16,006 administrative immigration actions and handled 136 immigration-related criminal cases, with 68 suspects receiving court verdicts.

Intensive monitoring was carried out through nationwide operations, including the Wira Waspada Operation, as well as patrols in high-risk areas. Hundreds of foreign nationals were found violating regulations, ranging from misuse of stay permits and fictitious sponsorship to illegal entry into Indonesian territory.

“Immigration law enforcement is a crucial part of safeguarding national sovereignty. We ensure that every foreign national in Indonesia complies with applicable laws,” Yusman said.

To support oversight efforts, the agency optimized several programs, including the Foreigners Reporting Application (APOA), Immigration-Assisted Villages, and the Detainee and Refugee Handling Communication Forum (Forkopminda), involving stakeholders such as accommodation providers, village authorities, and local governments.

On the public service front, Immigration continued its digital transformation through technology-based innovations. One key breakthrough is the “All Indonesia” international arrival declaration application, which integrates immigration, customs, health, and quarantine services into a single digital system to streamline passenger arrivals.

The Directorate General also introduced the Global Citizen of Indonesia (GCI) policy, granting indefinite stay permits to foreign nationals with familial or historical ties to Indonesia, including former Indonesian citizens, descendants, and spouses of Indonesian nationals.

Other innovations include the implementation of autogate technology at several international airports, the use of body cameras by immigration officers, and the establishment of a Passenger Analysis Unit (PAU) to enhance real-time passenger movement analysis at immigration checkpoints.

To expand public service access, Immigration also added 18 new offices across the country, bringing the total number of immigration offices to 151.

As his tenure nears its end, Yusman expressed appreciation to all Immigration personnel nationwide for their performance and collaboration.

“All these achievements are the result of the hard work and collaboration of Immigration personnel across Indonesia. Moving forward, I hope the foundation that has been built will continue to be strengthened so that Immigration becomes more professional, adaptive, and capable of making tangible contributions to the nation,” he concluded.
