The Indonesian information system of immigration management or called as SIMKIM which has been issued since 2013 and applied in 2015 has given a great impact to Indonesian people in particularly for those who live abroad such as migrant workers. The issuing of SIMKIM is in purpose to manage a better system since there were a lot of legal fraud happened in immigration sector such as fraud of passport by using false data as on names, date of birth or other information. With SIMKIM which using an integrated digital system, the false data cannot be done anymore. However, the migrant workers, whose passport has been arranged previously by the employment agency and use such false data, found difficulties to return their data to the original ones and are threatened to be criminalized not only by Indonesian government but also by the state where they live in. This article studies on this issue aimed to explore the real problem between migrant workers and their immigration status. The research uses secondary methods data such as academic books, articles, journals, etc. The research is expected to give recommendation on citizens’ rights of migrant workers to get an original passport.
