Abstract

This study analyzes the perception of Special Class I Immigration Employees of TPI Batam towards the policy of revoking the Free Visit Visa (BVK) policy for 159 countries, based on the Decree of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number M.HH-GR.01.07 of 2023. Using a qualitative approach with a non-positivist paradigm, this study explores employees' subjective interpretations of the impact of policies on national security. Data was obtained through interviews with 7 Batam Immigration employees in depth, participatory observation, and document review. With the framework of Barry Buzan's National Security Theory, the research examines elements of transnational threats, state capabilities, and collective security. The results show that the BVK revocation policy is seen as a strategic step to strengthen national security, increase PNBP, and mitigate the abuse of residence permits by foreigners. Employees consider this policy to improve the selectivity of foreigners' surveillance, which positively impacts tourism, the economy, and investment. Employee perceptions of reciprocal principles and policy benefits also support its implementation. Effective communication and common perception between employees are key factors for policy success. The research concludes that the policy of revoking BVK is relevant for national security and reflects efforts to maintain the country's stability through a collective security approach. The theoretical and practical implications are expected to guide the government in formulating a more adaptive immigration policy.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis persepsi Pegawai Imigrasi Kelas I Khusus TPI Batam terhadap kebijakan pencabutan Bebas Visa Kunjungan (BVK) bagi 159 negara, berdasarkan Keputusan Menteri Hukum dan HAM RI Nomor M.HH-GR.01.07 Tahun 2023. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan paradigma non-positivisme, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi interpretasi subjektif pegawai terkait dampak kebijakan terhadap keamanan nasional. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan kajian dokumen. Dengan kerangka Teori Keamanan Nasional Barry Buzan, penelitian mengkaji elemen ancaman transnasional, kapabilitas negara, dan keamanan kolektif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pencabutan BVK dipandang sebagai langkah strategis untuk memperkuat keamanan nasional, meningkatkan PNBP, dan memitigasi penyalahgunaan izin tinggal oleh orang asing. Pegawai menilai kebijakan ini meningkatkan selektivitas pengawasan orang asing, yang berdampak positif pada pariwisata, ekonomi, dan investasi. Persepsi pegawai terhadap asas resiprokal dan manfaat kebijakan turut mendukung implementasinya. Komunikasi efektif dan kesamaan persepsi antarpegawai menjadi faktor kunci keberhasilan kebijakan. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kebijakan pencabutan BVK tidak hanya relevan untuk keamanan nasional, tetapi juga mencerminkan upaya menjaga stabilitas negara melalui pendekatan keamanan kolektif. Implikasi teoretis dan praktisnya diharapkan memberikan panduan bagi pemerintah dalam merumuskan kebijakan keimigrasian yang lebih adaptif.
