Peran Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi Sebagai Fasilitator Pembangunan Masyarakat dalam Skema Kerjasama IA-CEPA

Abstract

The Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) which was approved in 2019 needs to be supported by policies in various sectors in order to create a positive-sum game for both parties. This study aims to analyze the role of the Directorate General of Immigration in the framework of IA-CEPA Cooperation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection method uses a secondary data method. The result shows that the Directorate General of Immigration already has policies that can be used in the IA-CEPA scheme. Those policies include the APEC Businessman Travel Card (KPP APEC) and the Working Holiday Visa (WHV). Both policies have long been used before the IA-CEPA was approved, but can still be used within the framework of this partnership cooperation since it gives facilities for border crossing. Thus, The Directorate General of Immigration has carried out its function as a facilitator of society development in terms of providing immigration facilities for human movement under the IA-CEPA scheme.Keywords: Directorate General of Immigration, IA-CEPA,KPP APEC,Working Holiday Visa
