Abstract:
Transnational crime is a form of crime whose scope is to bridge the boundaries of a
country. Transnational crime is not a new thing, it has been going on since ancient
times. Transnational crime is a form of threat to state security. transnational crimes
include human trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism, and others. Indonesia has a
very strategic location making it very vulnerable to transnational crimes. The
Indonesian government issued a policy contained in Regulation no. 69 of 2015 which
frees visa permits for 45 countries. Then, in September 2015, Perper No. 104 of 2015
added 90 countries. And finally issued Perpes No. 21 of 2016 concerning Visit Visa
Free, 169 countries are free of Indonesian visas. This received a positive response
from UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization), noting that this policy
made Indonesia the seventh country in the world, as well as the fourth country in the
Asia-Pacific, and even became the first country in Southeast Asia regarding
regulatory ease to bring in foreign tourists. This visa-free policy has not only
succeeded in bringing in Indonesian tourists who have the potential to get into
trouble but also has harmed Indonesian society. In this study, we want to see how the
visa-free visit policy can affect the increase in the number of transnational crimes in
Indonesia. uses foreign policy theory to explain the factors that apply to visa
exemption and is explained by the concept of transnational crime. so that it can be
seen the influence of the factors that encourage the existence of a visa-free policy it
influences the number of transnational crimes in Indonesia.
