Abstract
The number of illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers (IPMI) continues to increase. To that end, the Law Number 18 of 2017 on Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers has stipulated the establishment of a program known as One-Stop Service for Placement and Protection of PMI (LTSA). This program is expected to prevent and reduce the number of illegal PMIs. However, not all regions have created such program. For this reason, this study aims at raising the issue on how to regulate the program, how to identify the difficulties in implementing it, and how to find the solutions. With normative legal research method and secondary data, the study shows that LTSA has been regulated under the Law Number 18 of 2017 and the Government Regulation Number 59 of 2021. The program offers placement and protection services for PMIs in an integrated and coordinated manner. However, it has faced several difficulties in its implementation including: the establishment of the program is merely a recommendation; the program is not clearly regulated; the implementing regulations are not immediately formed; lack of coordination; and the human resources, budget and infrastructure are limited. In addition, the public opinion on the difficulty in arranging formal departure also affects the PMI interest in LTSA. In some regions, illegal departure through a third party has also become a culture.
