DENPASAR – The increasingly complex immigration challenges—ranging from issues related to digital nomads to the influx of foreign nationals (FNs) into Bali due to global geopolitical tensions—demand data-driven policies and in-depth research. To address these needs, the Directorate General of Immigration has partnered with the academic community through the signing of a cooperation agreement (PKS) with Udayana University (Unud).

La rédactrice en chef de Sudut Pandang, Umi Sjarifah, reçoit le Mitrapol Award 2025
Jakarta – Le parcours de la rédactrice en chef du média Sudut Pandang, Umi Sjarifah, reçoit une nouvelle fois une reconnaissance publique. À l’occasion du 9ᵉ anniversaire de Media Mitrapol et du 2ᵉ anniversaire de Mitrapolika, célébrés au Gedung Bhayangkari, au siège de la Police nationale (Mabes Polri) à Jakarta Sud, mardi (25/11/2025), Umi Sjarifah s’est vu décerner le Mitrapol Award 2025.
La distinction a été signée par le Directeur général de Mitrapol, le général de police (à la retraite) Dr. Drs. H. Anton Charliyan, MPKN. Lors de l’événement, le conseiller de Mitrapol, le général de brigade de police Dr. Victor Pudjiadi, SpB., FICS., DFM., a remis directement le prix à Umi en signe d’appréciation pour sa contribution au maintien des standards professionnels dans le secteur médiatique.
Dans sa déclaration, Umi a qualifié cette récompense de nouvelle motivation au milieu des dynamiques du monde de la presse.
« Merci à Mitrapol. Ce prix est un rappel pour que je reste engagée dans un travail journalistique intègre », a-t-elle déclaré à Jakarta, mercredi (26/11/2025).
Le rédacteur en chef de Mitrapol, Dadang Rachmat, a expliqué que l’évaluation s’était déroulée à travers un processus interne. Il estime qu’Umi Sjarifah n’est pas seulement active dans l’écosystème médiatique, mais qu’elle fait également preuve de persévérance dans le domaine organisationnel, allant jusqu’à détenir la Press Card Number One (PCNO).
« Madame Umi est une figure constante. La synergie entre Mitrapol et Media Sudut Pandang est effectivement bonne, mais la décision concernant les lauréats dépend entièrement du mécanisme interne », a-t-il précisé.
Le Mitrapol Award 2025 a également été décerné à plusieurs autres personnalités, notamment le journaliste national Hendry Ch Bangun, le président de l’Association des Médias de Convergence d’Indonésie (AMKI) Centre, Tundra Meliala, ainsi que AKBP Dr. Netty Rosdiana Siagian, S.H., M.M., M.H., reconnue pour son parcours solide dans les services policiers humanistes.
Pour Umi, l’existence de Mitrapol depuis neuf ans démontre que les médias imprimés et numériques peuvent encore se développer côte à côte. Elle estime que la vision commune entre Sudut Pandang et Mitrapol réside dans leur engagement à maintenir la publication imprimée malgré la pression de l’ère numérique.
« Nous continuons de publier le magazine Sudut Pandang, et Mitrapol maintient le Tabloid Mitrapol. C’est la preuve de notre constance dans la préservation de l’espace de littératie publique », a expliqué la journaliste, également connue pour son programme Jumat Berkah.
Umi a également adressé ses vœux d’anniversaire aux deux médias sous la bannière de PT. Mitrapol Jaya Multimedia.
« Joyeux 9ᵉ anniversaire à Mitrapol et joyeux 2ᵉ anniversaire à Mitrapolika. Plein de succès », a déclaré Umi, qui a débuté sa carrière journalistique dès sa sortie de l’université en 1996.

Global Citizenship of Indonesia Becomes a New Pathway for Permanent Residency for Former Indonesian Citizens and Their Descendants
Global Citizenship of Indonesia Becomes a New Pathway for Permanent Residency for Former Indonesian Citizens and Their Descendants
JAKARTA – The Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections has officially launched the Global Citizenship of Indonesia (GCI), a new policy designed to address the issue of dual citizenship. GCI serves as a form of permanent residency without time limits for foreign nationals who have blood ties, heritage connections, historical links, or other strong relationships with Indonesia. This policy opens opportunities for participation from individuals of various nationalities who maintain such connections.
“GCI is a solution that resolves the ongoing debate over dual citizenship by granting extensive residency rights to foreign nationals who have strong ties to Indonesia, without requiring them to relinquish their foreign citizenship or violate the laws of their country. This policy also demonstrates Indonesia’s ability to adapt to global dynamics without compromising the sovereignty of its nationality laws,” said Minister of Immigration and Corrections Agus Andrianto.
Agus further explained that similar concepts have been implemented in several countries, such as India’s Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI). The adoption of comparable policies across various jurisdictions reinforces the credibility and feasibility of implementing GCI in Indonesia. This affirms the readiness of the Directorate General of Immigration to manage a policy focused on legal certainty, efficient services, and international competitiveness.
Eligible applicants for GCI include foreign nationals who are former Indonesian citizens, descendants of former Indonesian citizens up to the second degree, as well as legal spouses of Indonesian citizens or former Indonesian citizens. In addition, children born from lawful marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals may also benefit from GCI.
Meanwhile, this residency permit does not apply to foreign nationals originating from countries that were previously part of Indonesian territory, individuals involved in separatist activities, or those with backgrounds as civil servants, intelligence personnel, or military members of foreign states.
Applications for GCI are submitted online through evisa.imigrasi.go.id. With its all-in-one system, the GCI application process includes issuance of a Limited Stay Visa, conversion from Limited Stay Permit to Permanent Stay Permit, extension of the Unlimited Permanent Stay Permit, and the Unlimited Re-entry Permit.
“Indonesian Immigration will always remain responsive to global needs and challenges. GCI is clear evidence that our immigration policy not only provides services but continues to transform in line with the times,” concluded Minister Agus. (*)

仲裁部門の創設が議論に浮上、インドネシアは仲裁判断の執行効率化を目指す
仲裁部門の創設が議論に浮上、インドネシアは仲裁判断の執行効率化を目指す
バリ— 法務・人権・移民・矯正行政担当調整大臣(Menko Kumham Imipas)、ユスリル・イフザ・マヘンドラ教授(法学博士)は、2025年11月5日(水)、バリ島にて「Indonesia Arbitration Week (IAW) 2025」および「Indonesia Mediation Summit (IMS) 2025」を正式に開幕した。今回の開催は、インドネシアが国際的な代替的紛争解決(Alternative Dispute Resolution/ADR)の中核拠点を目指すという強い意志を示すものとなった。
本イベントには、東南アジアおよび海外の実務家、学術関係者、法制度関係者が多数参加し、さらに「Indonesia Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Award」と「International Alternative Dispute Resolution Award 2025」の授賞式も併催された。
開会式の基調講演で、ユスリル調整大臣は、開催地としてバリを選んだこと自体が、インドネシアが「紛争解決の世界的ハブ」としての地位を確立する準備が整っていることを示す「力強いシグナル」であると強調した。また、世界的に従来の対立的な訴訟モデル(勝者と敗者を生む adversarial system)から、調停や仲裁を通じた「双方に利益をもたらす解決(win-win solution)」へとパラダイムが転換している現状を指摘した。
「これは単なる法制度の近代化ではなく、『マスラハ(共通善)』や『イスラフ(和解)』といった、我々の哲学的・宗教的価値観とも深く調和しています。」とユスリル調整大臣は述べ、インドネシア文化およびイスラム的価値観が国際ADRの文脈においても有意味であることを示した。
さらに大臣は、ADR 強化は国内法改革の重要な柱であり、特に投資競争力の向上と経済発展の加速に不可欠な「法的確実性」を高めるための中核戦略であると位置づけた。
その後、行政法務総局長(Dirjen AHU)ウィドド博士が基調講演を行い、インドネシアの仲裁制度の信頼性と国際競争力を高めるための2つの構造改革案を提示した。

Bali Investment Turns Sour: Philippe Millieret Exposes Alleged Predatory Tactics by Julian Petroulas
Bali Investment Turns Sour: Philippe Millieret Exposes Alleged Predatory Tactics by Julian Petroulas
Termasuk di dalamnya adalah seorang penduduk asal Prancis, Philippe Claude Millieret. Karena kecintaannya yang mendalam terhadap Bali, Philippe memanfaatkan kesempatan untuk menyewa tanah seluas 1,1 hektar di wilayah Kabupaten Badung. Rencananya adalah menyimpan sebagian kecil untuk dirinya sendiri di mana ia dapat membangun RUMAH kecil di lahan itu sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan dengan penuh kasih yang disebutnya sebagai "rumah terakhir saya"—sebuah rumah Kecil sederhana di mana ia berniat menghabiskan sisa hidupnya dikelilingi oleh keindahan alam Bali.
“ I love bali, for me bali is wonderful place, someday I wan to stay here, in here I see sunset from my home, talk with civilian, live with people together” ucapnya saat ditemui di warung kopi. (Saya cinta Bali, bagi saya Bali adalah tempat yang indah, suatu hari nanti saya ingin tinggal di sini, di sini saya melihat matahari terbenam dari rumah saya, berbicara dengan warga masyarakat, tinggal dengan orang Bali)
“My dream is at there, to build a very small house for me to see the nature, sound of bird when sunset came” Lanjut Philippe dengan bahas tubuh Bahagia. (Mimpiku ada di sana, membangun rumah yang sangat kecil agar aku bisa melihat alam, suara burung saat matahari terbenam). Philippe sudah mengerti dan mencintai bali karena budayanya, warganya semua ramah dan saling membantu sesama.
Dengan berjalannya waktu philippe bertemu dengan Julian Petroulas yang dikenalnya melalui pertemuan singkat melalui perkenalan dengan seorang agen di bali. Philippe bertemu Julian Petroulas hanya sekali selama 15 menit pada tanggal 1 Agustus 2023, setelah diperkenalkan oleh seorang agen lokal Bali. Segera setelah perkenalan ini, Philippe mengirimkan semua detail tanah kepadanya melalui email, Dropbox, dan WhatsApp. Julian mengajukan penawaran pada tanggal 5 Agustus yang diterima Philippe. Julian meminta pembayaran secara bertahap selama periode 16 bulan.
Ketika Philippe menyatakan kekhawatirannya, Julian berjanji untuk selalu tepat waktu untuk setiap pembayaran dan menyatakan bahwa Philippe tidak perlu khawatir, karena jika ia terlambat membayar, perjanjian sewa akan otomatis dibatalkan. Perjanjian tersebut dirancang dengan pembatalan otomatis jika terjadi wanprestasi. Philippe menjelaskan: "Rencana pembayaran itu merupakan strategi yang sudah direncanakan, karena Julian tahu saya akan meninggalkan Bali karena masalah kesehatan dan berpikir dia bisa mengintimidasi saya nanti untuk menegosiasikan ulang harga yang lebih rendah. Dan inilah yang dia lakukan. Kecuali pembayaran pertama saat penandatanganan, dia selalu gagal bayar setiap kali pembayaran berikutnya. Setiap kali, tiba-tiba di hari pembayaran, dia mengarang alasan tentang masalah yang sudah dibahas secara eksplisit dan dijelaskan dengan jelas dalam perjanjian kami, ketentuan yang telah dia baca dan tandatangani.
Pada wanprestasi pertamanya di bulan Maret 2024, dia akhirnya membayar tetapi setelah batas waktu, notarisnya memperingatkannya bahwa alasan itu tidak masuk akal. Saya memilih untuk tidak menindaklanjuti wanprestasi pertama tetapi memperingatkannya untuk tidak mengulangi perilaku ini." Philippe menambahkan: "Pada pembayaran berikutnya di bulan September 2024, Julian menghina komunitas Subak ketika mereka meminta sumbangan kecil, lalu mengancam akan menuntut saya jika saya tidak menurunkan harga 200 kali lipat dari jumlah yang diminta Subak, meskipun perjanjian kami secara tegas menyatakan bahwa semua sumbangan Subak di masa mendatang adalah tanggung jawabnya.
Setelah ia menghina pemilik tanah dan Subak, sebuah lembaga suci di Bali, saya menolak untuk mengabaikan kelalaiannya. Bahkan ketika Julian mencoba membayar setelah ia menyadari ancamannya tidak berhasil, saya tetap teguh pada pendirian saya. Pengalihan sewa seharusnya terjadi pada tanggal 8 Maret 2025, setelah pembayaran terakhir.
Namun mengingat kelalaiannya yang berulang, saya ingin menegaskan bahwa Julian Petroulas tidak pernah memiliki tanah tersebut seperti yang ia klaim dengan arogan dalam video kontroversialnya 'How I Make Millions of Dollars in Bali', tetapi ia juga tidak pernah memiliki hak sewa atas tanah tersebut." Philippe merasa perlu menyampaikan peringatan ini: "Saya perlu melindungi orang lain agar tidak mengalami apa yang saya alami. Jangan berbisnis dengan Julian Petroulas, terutama jika dia meminta pembayaran bertahap, ini jebakan. Perjanjian kita sangat jelas dan sangat rinci, tetapi dia ingkar janji dengan alasan-alasan yang sudah jelas tercantum dalam kontrak.
Dia tidak menghormati perjanjian yang telah ditandatangani maupun hukum. Dia akan ingkar janji dengan alasan-alasan yang dibuat-buat, mengabaikan setiap ketentuan yang telah disepakati, lalu berbohong dan memanipulasi kebenaran melalui media dan di pengadilan, seperti yang telah dilakukannya dalam gugatannya terhadap saya, semua itu untuk memaksa Anda menerima harga yang lebih rendah. Ini model bisnisnya: menandatangani perjanjian, menolak untuk menghormatinya, lalu menggunakan intimidasi dan pencemaran nama baik di depan umum untuk mencapai tujuannya.
Ini bukan tindakan seorang perundung biasa, melainkan seseorang yang menggunakan taktik predator yang terencana. Saya yakin sekali dia menggunakan taktik yang sama dengan orang lain. Harap berhati-hati jika orang ini menghubungi Anda untuk urusan bisnis apa pun.
Anggap ini sebagai pengumuman layanan publik dan belajarlah dari pengalaman saya yang berharga, serta lindungi diri Anda." Demikian disampaikan Philippe Claude Millieret, saat memberikan klarifikasi di dampingi kuasa hukumnya I Nyoman Wirajaya, S.H., M.H pada senin 27 Oktober 2025 di Canggu Bali. (*)
Bali - The Island of the Gods is indeed a very tempting attraction, not only for its natural attractions, culture, and even cuisine. Furthermore, many domestic and even international tourists are interested in investing in this land.
One such example is a French resident, Philippe Claude Millieret. Because of his deep love for Bali, Philippe seized the opportunity to lease 1.1 hectares of land in Badung Regency. His plan was to keep a small portion for himself, where he could build a small house, in keeping with what he lovingly calls "my final home"—a simple home where he intends to spend the rest of his life surrounded by Bali's natural beauty.
"I love Bali. For me, Bali is a wonderful place. Someday I want to stay here. Here, I can watch the sunset from my home, talk with civilians, live with people together," he said when met at a coffee shop. (I love Bali. For me, Bali is a beautiful place. Someday I want to live here. Here, I can watch the sunset from my house, talk to the locals, and live with Balinese people.)
"My dream is to build a very small house for me to see the nature and the sound of birds at sunset," Philippe continued, discussing the happy body. (My dream is to build a very small house so I can see the nature and the sound of birds at sunset.) Philippe already understood and loved Bali for its culture, its people, all friendly and helpful to one another.
Over time, Philippe met Julian Petroulas, whom he met through a brief encounter with an agent in Bali. Philippe met Julian Petroulas only once, for 15 minutes, on August 1, 2023, after being introduced by a local Balinese agent. Shortly after this introduction, Philippe sent him all the land details via email, Dropbox, and WhatsApp. Julian submitted an offer on August 5, which Philippe accepted. Julian requested payments be made in installments over a 16-month period.
When Philippe expressed his concerns, Julian promised to be on time with every payment and stated that Philippe shouldn't worry, as any late payments would automatically cancel the lease. The agreement was designed with automatic cancellation in the event of default. Philippe explained: "The payment plan was a premeditated strategy, as Julian knew I would be leaving Bali due to health issues and thought he could intimidate me into renegotiating a lower price later. And that's exactly what he did. Except for the first payment at signing,
he failed to pay every subsequent payment. Each time, suddenly on payment day, he made up an excuse about an issue that had been explicitly discussed and clearly outlined in our agreement, the terms of which he had read and signed.
On his first default in March 2024, he finally paid, but after the deadline, his notary warned him that his excuse was unreasonable. I chose not to pursue the first default but warned him not to repeat this behavior.
" Philippe added: "On the next payment in September 2024, Julian insulted the Subak community when they asked for a small donation, then threatened to sue me if I didn't lower the price 200 times the Subak's asking amount, even though our agreement expressly stated that all future Subak donations were his responsibility.
After he insulted the landowner and the Subak, a sacred institution in Bali, I refused to overlook his negligence. Even when Julian tried to pay after realizing his threats weren't working, I stood my ground. The lease transfer was supposed to take place on March 8, 2025, after the final payment.
However, given his repeated negligence, I want to emphasize that Julian Petroulas never owned the land, as he arrogantly claimed in his controversial video, 'How I Make Millions of Dollars in Bali,' but he also never had a lease on it.
" Philippe felt compelled to issue this warning: "I need to protect others from experiencing what I experienced. Do not do business with Julian Petroulas, especially if he asks for installment payments; it's a trap. Our agreement was very clear and detailed, but he broke his promise for reasons clearly stated in the contract.
He does not respect signed agreements or the law. He will break promises for fabricated reasons, ignore every agreed-upon provision, then lie and manipulate the truth through the media and in court, as he did in his lawsuit against me, all to force you to accept a lower price.
This is his business model: sign an agreement, refuse to honor it, then use intimidation and public defamation to achieve his goals. These are not the actions of a typical bully, but someone using premeditated, predatory tactics.
"I'm pretty sure he uses the same tactics with others. Please be careful if this person contacts you for any business matters. Consider this a public service announcement and learn from my valuable experience, and protect yourself," said Philippe Claude Millieret, while providing clarification accompanied by his attorney, I Nyoman Wirajaya, S.H., M.H., on Monday, October 27, 2025, in Canggu, Bali.

Quando o Passaporte se Torna uma Necessidade Básica: A Inovação da Imigração de Atambua para os Moradores de Belu
Quando o Passaporte se Torna uma Necessidade Básica: A Inovação da Imigração de Atambua para os Moradores de Belu
Atambua — Coincidindo com as atividades do Car Free Day no sábado, 25 de outubro, o Escritório de Imigração de Atambua realizou um evento de facilitação de serviços de imigração para a comunidade do distrito de Belu.
A atividade ocorreu em meio à disseminação de notícias sobre o aumento das taxas de passaporte, o que gerou preocupação entre os moradores da região fronteiriça.
Em áreas como Belu, onde a linha de fronteira não é apenas um limite geográfico, mas também uma separação de laços familiares, sociais e culturais, o passaporte não é visto como um símbolo de luxo, mas como uma necessidade básica para manter o contato com familiares do outro lado da fronteira.
Diante dessa realidade, o Chefe do Escritório de Imigração Classe II TPI Atambua, Putu Agus Eka Putra, buscou apresentar uma solução concreta à população. Com uma compreensão profunda das características sociais da comunidade fronteiriça, Putu tomou uma iniciativa ousada ao reintroduzir o serviço Eazy Paspor, com a taxa oficial (PNBP) de Rp 350.000 para o passaporte comum de 48 páginas, mediante aprovação da chefia regional.
Vale lembrar que, a partir de 1º de setembro de 2025, conforme orientação da Diretoria-Geral de Imigração, o serviço de emissão de passaporte comum (48 páginas) foi descontinuado, sendo substituído pelo passaporte eletrônico (E-passaporte), com validade de 5 anos e taxa de Rp 650.000, ou de 10 anos com taxa de Rp 950.000.
A medida tomada por Putu não é apenas um programa, mas uma demonstração concreta de empatia e sensibilidade diante das condições socioeconômicas da população da região de Atambua, que é vulnerável a mudanças de políticas e pressões econômicas.
“Na fronteira, qualquer política, por menor que seja, pode ter grande impacto para a população. Quando o preço do passaporte aumentou, sabíamos que a preocupação era real. Por isso, oferecemos uma solução — o Eazy Paspor, com taxa de Rp 350.000 e validade de 5 anos, do tipo comum, para que a população mantenha um acesso legal, fácil e acessível. Convidamos todos a aproveitar esse serviço,” declarou Putu.
A iniciativa recebeu forte apoio da comunidade e reconhecimento do Prefeito de Belu, Willybrodus Lay.
"As diversas inovações de facilitação de serviços de imigração realizadas por Atambua — como o Cartão de Controle para Tripulantes de Ônibus e o retorno do Eazy Paspor tipo comum com taxa de Rp 350.000 — trouxeram benefícios reais à população e impulsionaram a economia local na região fronteiriça," afirmou Willy.
A implementação do programa foi realizada no espírito da celebração do 1º Aniversário do Ministério de Imigração e Administração Penitenciária (IMIPAS), em outubro de 2025. O momento serviu como reflexão para fortalecer a identidade da imigração como um serviço público humanizado e guardião da soberania nacional.
A colaboração entre o Governo Distrital de Belu e o Bulog de Atambua, por meio da realização de um mercado popular, fez com que o evento se tornasse ainda mais aguardado pela comunidade.
O Chefe Regional da Direção-Geral de Imigração de Nusa Tenggara Timur, Arvin Gumilang, expressou alto apreço pela homenagem concedida pelo Prefeito de Belu ao Chefe do Escritório de Imigração de Atambua e sua equipe.
“Apoiamos plenamente as inovações de facilitação de serviços e as ações tomadas pelo chefe de Atambua, que soube ler a situação e a preocupação de sua região. Isso não é apenas uma inovação, mas um exemplo concreto de como as políticas podem ser implementadas com coração e empatia,” disse Arvin.
No mesmo sentido, o Diretor-Geral Interino de Imigração, Yuldi Yusman, afirmou que o reconhecimento dado pelo Prefeito de Belu demonstra que as ações de Atambua estão alinhadas com as políticas nacionais de transformação dos serviços públicos na área de imigração.
“Transformação não significa apenas digitalização, mas presença concreta. A imigração deve ser o rosto acolhedor e solucionador do Estado, capaz de responder às necessidades da população onde quer que ela esteja — inclusive nas fronteiras. E Atambua provou isso,” concluiu Yuldi. (*)
