JAKARTA - The Ministry of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (KemenP2MI) revealed the benefits of working legally or procedurally abroad, including free import duties for goods sent by Indonesian migrant workers.
"If registered with SiskoP2MI, migrant workers can send free goods of up to IDR 50 million," said P2MI Minister Abdul Kadir Karding while giving a public lecture at Riau Islamic University, quoted from a statement from the Ministry of P2MI via Antara, Thursday, July 17.
Minister Karding said, in addition to obtaining concessions for free import duties for goods sent by migrant workers, the government could also provide supporting facilities, including shipping goods up to tens of millions of rupiah at no cost.
By working abroad procedurally, migrant workers will also get maximum protection. "So far, many non-procedural PMIs are difficult to protect because the data is unclear. By registering, workers' rights can be guaranteed," he said.

In addition, the government is also tightening the departure route for workers, including closing gaps in non-performance visas that are often misused.
Minister Karding emphasized that these measures were part of an effort to combat illegal placement syndicates who often deceived prospective migrant workers.
The steps that can be taken to work procedurally abroad are to access information at SiskoP2MI to find out the company placement of Indonesian migrant workers (P3MI) officially registered with the Ministry of P2MI.
On the portal, the public can also find out information about the possibility of placing migrant workers abroad through the Government-to-Government (G-to-G) scheme.
