Abstract

Immigration control is an activity of collecting, processing, and presenting immigration data and
information in order to ensure compliance with immigration laws. Foreigner Reporting (APOA) is an
innovation of the Directorate General of Immigration in the implementation of immigration control
which is oriented towards the function of law enforcement and state security. However, there are still
some obstacles and constraint in the implementation of reporting foreigners through APOA. The
formulation of problems examined in this paper is how the implementation of immigration control,
reporting procedures, and constraints and obstacles in the implementation of reporting through
APOA. This writing uses a qualitative research method with a qualitative descriptive approach
through data collection by identifying laws and regulations and collecting some library materials
relevant to the topic of this research. From the research results, it was found that there were still
many inn owners or managers and the community who had not reported the presence of foreigners
in their area. In this case, the Directorate General of Immigration must be able to optimize the implementation of reporting on foreigners so that it makes it easier for immigration officers to carry
out immigration control, especially for foreigners.
