Indonesian Immigration policies have experienced rapid changes since the COVID-19 pandemic started. For expats, and even locals, trying to understand and keep up with ever-changing immigration policies can be a huge challenge. Constant communication with government officials from the Directorate General of Immigration is crucial to comprehend the technical details of immigration policies. However, not everyone is privileged to have access to government officials, and sometimes important information is not available in English. In this episode, we sat down with Stephen Igor Warokka, Supervising Partner of the Immigration Law Practice at SSEK Legal Consultants, to discuss the current Indonesian immigration policies during the pandemic. Pressing issues like entry restriction, expired stay permits, family reunifications, visas, and many more, are discussed in detail.
