Patnal Immigration Checks 335 Employees Commit Violations, 7 Of Them Are Criminal Processed

JAKARTA The Directorate of Internal Compliance (Patnal) of Immigration has examined 335 employees who were reported to have committed violations from January to September 2025. As a result, hundreds of employees of technical implementing units throughout Indonesia were sentenced to disciplinary penalties ranging from light to severe.

Acting Director General of Immigration, Yuldi Yusman, stated that the examination was part of internal supervision. "Every ASN of the Directorate General of Immigration cannot be separated from the Patnal, everything is no exception, including me," said Yuldi in his statement, Tuesday, September 30.

Data from the Directorate of Patnal noted that 56 employees were recommended to receive light disciplinary penalties, 62 employees with moderate punishment, 13 employees with severe punishment, 41 employees still in the process, and 163 employees were declared not proven to have committed violations. In addition, seven employees were processed pro justitia for serious violations leading to criminal acts.

The types of violations found include ethical violations (2 cases), illegal levies (8 cases), not working according to SOP (109 cases), abuse of authority (9 cases), and negligence in controlling work units (3 cases).

Yuldi explained that Patnal was formed based on Permen Imipas Number 1 of 2024 as a result of the restructuring of the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections. For 10 months, Patnal's supervision is considered to have a positive effect. Now, every violation, Patnal immediately goes down to carry out the examination. ASN becomes more introspective because supervision is getting tighter," he said.

As a transparency effort, the Directorate General of Immigration also launched a QR Barcode on the Complaints of Extortion and Gratification. Through this innovation, the public can immediately report officers and reports that they will be followed up immediately.

"ASN immigration in the future can be more careful because supervision is now not only from internal, but also from the community," said Yuldi.

Director of Patnal Immigration, Barron Ichsan, added that Patnal's main function is to supervise, evaluate, and ensure all immigration employees comply with regulations, codes of ethics, and SOPs.

"We also provide advice to the leadership, as well as provide education and training so that employees understand integrity and compliance more," he explained.

According to Barron, Patnal plays an important role in increasing public confidence in Immigration. With strict internal supervision, operational activities can be more transparent, accountable, and avoid abuse of authority. This will increase the efficiency and professionalism of immigration employees," he concluded.
