The Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has arrested seven foreign nationals (WNA) from South Korea (South Korea) in Jakarta. They were arrested for abusing Visa on Arrival (VoA) in Indonesian territory.
"The South Korean citizen was detained by Immigration officers on Monday (21 November) after holding a talent search event at a shopping center in Jakarta," said Acting Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Widodo Ekatjahjana in a written statement, Wednesday, November 23.
Widodo revealed that 7 South Koreans who abused VoA to work were the creative team of a production house.
They did a job in a talent search event broadcast live on Korean KBS television station.
"These six creative teams came using VoA and were employed by two South Korean foreigners. One VoA holder and the other is a Kitas holder (Limited Stay Permit Card). We have secured a total of eight South Korean passports," he said.
Widodo also ordered the Director of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement (Wasdakim) to take firm steps by examining the agents and administrators who ordered the four South Korean citizens.
The Immigration statement responded to a video circulating in the community containing officers carrying forced four South Korean citizens.
After being questioned, the South Korean resident admitted that he was ordered by the agent who brought him to Indonesia to avoid responsibility and throw the blame on another party or playing victim when brought by immigration officers. "So far, the officers' actions have complied with procedures because there was resistance from these foreigners," he said.
Responding to the video, based on an Antara report, Widodo ordered the Wasdakim director to conduct an examination and investigate the immigration officers on duty at the time.
"If an element of abuse of authority is found by officers, they will be subject to sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations," he said.
