SEMARANG - The Central Java Regional Ministry of Law is processing citizenship applications submitted by two foreign nationals who want to become Indonesian Citizens (WNI).

Head of the Legal Services Division of the Central Java Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Tjasdirin, said that substantive examinations had been carried out on two applicants, each from South Korea and Yemen.

"Park Jae Hyun from South Korea has lived in Indonesia for seven years and Mazen Esam Abdulalem Mohammed from Yemen has lived in Indonesia for five years," Tjasdirin said in Semarang, Antara, Tuesday, January 20.

He explained that the citizenship process emphasizes the principle of accuracy and caution at every stage, both administrative and substantive examinations, to ensure that all requirements are met in accordance with legal provisions.

According to Tjasdirin, clarification of the citizenship application must be carried out clearly and thoroughly so as not to cause obstacles that cause the citizenship process to be repeated.

"This is important so that things that make the citizenship process repeated do not happen," he said.

On this occasion, he also asked the two applicants to be able to provide real contributions and benefits for Indonesia and the community in their living environment in the future.

Tjasdirin added that citizenship is a legal mechanism that allows foreign citizens to become Indonesian citizens by meeting certain requirements as regulated in the law.

Through a transparent and orderly procedure, the government ensures that every application for citizenship is decided with great caution in order to protect the interests of the nation and state.
