When deportation is imposed, foreign nationals are often in a very vulnerable position because the decision is unilateral, swift, and has serious consequences for their lives. The research question in this study is how foreign nationals can use legal mechanisms to challenge deportation in Indonesia and Malaysia. The research method uses a normative approach, analyzing legislation and relevant legal literature to explore systemic comparisons between the two jurisdictions. The results of the study show that Indonesia treats deportation as an administrative action that can be challenged through internal appeals or review in administrative courts, while Malaysia tends to provide more limited space with strong executive discretion.
