JAKARTA - A total of 193 Indonesian migrant workers were repatriated from Saudi Arabia, Friday, March 14 evening. This repatriation is because they have overstayed or overstayed.
"So they also departed non-procedural and they were already working but were not extended by their employers," said Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Minister (P2MI) Abdul Kadir Karding when receiving the arrival of hundreds of migrant workers at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport (Soetta), Saturday morning, March 15.
Hundreds of migrant workers who were overstayed were at the Tarhil Sumaysi Immigration Detention Center in Saudi Arabia before leaving for the country.
Upon arrival in Indonesia, they will receive further treatment. Today, these migrant workers live in the Banten BP3MI Shelter before being sent back to their home area.
"Previously, those who were out of town who were not picked up by their husbands or their families today will be accommodated first at the place where our shelter is in Banten here," said Minister Karding.
As of March 14, 2025, 738 Indonesian migrant workers were repatriated from Saudi Arabia out of a total of 1,206 people. Thus, there are still 468 workers who have not returned to the country
