JAKARTA - Thom Haye and Ragnar Oratmangoen officially become Indonesian citizens (WNI).

They have undergone the oath-taking and pledge of allegiance to the citizens of the Republic of Indonesia at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) DKI Jakarta on Monday, March 18, 2024, evening WIB.

PSSI Executive Committee (Exco) member Arya Sinulingga, who accompanied the two expressed his gratitude to all parties who have supported the naturalization process of Thom Haye and Ragnar Oratmangoen running smoothly

"Once again, we want to thank the DKI Jakarta Kumham Regional Office. Then also the DKI Jakarta Dukcapil.

"After completing the oath, it is still in the process of making ID cards. Then, the Jakarta Immigration Regional Office and those in Soekarno-Hatta will later support the manufacture of their passports."

"Hopefully this process can run quickly. So, this is all very fast. To be sure, Ragnar landed this afternoon (18/3/2024). Meanwhile, Thom Haye just landed in Jakarta at around 21.00 WIB (18/3/2024) and went straight to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights," said Arya Sinulingga.

Thom Haye and Ragnar Oratmangoen have indeed been included in the list of 26 Indonesian national team players projected by Shin Tae-yong against Vietnam in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

However, it seems that they were able to play in the first meeting against Vietnam at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, Thursday, March 21, 2024.

The problem is, the two players still have to complete the administration regarding the transfer of federations from KNVB (Netherlands) to PSSI (Indonesia).

Both of them were tried by PSSI to be able to play when they visited Vietnam at the My Dinh Stadium on March 26, 2024.
