Abuse of Residence Permits by foreigners with the mode of using tourist visit visas often occurs, generally used in the context of working as a Foreign Worker in a Foreign Investment Company in Indonesia. This has led to a reduction in employment opportunities for Indonesian Migrant Workers in the country and a reduction in State income in terms of the use of Foreign Workers. Based on the facts in the field, the problem of misuse of Tourism Visit Stay Permits generally comes from the policy of Free Visa for Tourist Visits, this is a problem that over time is increasingly difficult to resolve, even more difficult to detect by law enforcement officials. The involvement of Indonesia in various international agreements that accommodate the ease of investment and the use of foreign labor, has made Indonesia increasingly fulfilled by investors and foreign workers. The problem of the use of foreign workers needs to be taken seriously by the government, especially in monitoring its activities while in Indonesia, so that the use of foreign labor can be beneficial for Indonesia. Giving ease of Visa Free in order to increase foreign exchange in tourism to foreigners who will enter Indonesia, of course, must be accompanied by supervision of their residence permit as a consequence of the ease of granting the Visa Free. In order for the practice of using foreign workers illegally by foreign investment companies, it can be minimized as early as possible

Successive governments have emphasized Indonesia’s need for greatly increased foreign investment but have not matched this with sufficient reform to attract large amounts of it. This chapter begins by describing the requirements for foreign investment, including establishment of PMAs, or foreign investment companies, before considering the restrictions that apply to them, such as the ‘negative list’ of sectors closed to investors, or open with restrictions. It looks at important court decisions that have made foreign investment more difficult, along with the share divestment and onshore ore processing rules that have had the same effect, particularly in the mining sector. The chapter then outlines the law relating to commercial arbitration, including the rules limiting the enforcement of foreign awards in Indonesia. The last topic covered is public-private partnerships (PPPs) and the Indonesian Investment Guarantee Fund, which guarantees payment of state liabilities to foreign investors but struggles to attract new projects.
