Indonesian immigration law governs the entry, stay, and departure of foreign nationals in the country. Regulated by the Immigration Law No. 6 of 2011, it establishes the legal framework for visas, residence permits, and deportation procedures.

The law categorizes visas into different types, including Tourist Visa, Business Visa, and Limited Stay Visa (KITAS) for expatriates and investors. Additionally, the Permanent Stay Permit (KITAP) allows long-term residency for eligible individuals.

Immigration policies also address border security, foreign worker regulations, and naturalization processes. Indonesia continues to refine its immigration system to accommodate global mobility while maintaining national security and legal compliance.
