<![CDATA[Objective: To examine the function of Small and Medium Enterprises managed by Indonesian migrant workers in helping to achieve sustainable livelihoods. Research Methods: This study used a qualitative approach, collected data through in-depth interviews with immigrant entrepreneurs in Gombak, Selangor, and was supported by the analysis of relevant documents. The data obtained was then analyzed using an interactive analysis model proposed by Miles and Huberman. Results: The results show that Small and Medium Enterprises managed by Indonesian migrant workers in Gombak have an important role in increasing income and supporting migrant survival strategies. Activities in the food, trade, and service sectors help meet families' needs, send remittances, and strengthen social networks among migrants. Despite facing obstacles such as a lack of business legitimacy, limited capital, and minimal legal protection, migrant workers maintain the continuity of their businesses through community solidarity, their experience, and their ability to adapt to the socio-economic situation in Malaysia. Conclusion: Research reveals that migrant MSMEs in Gombak play an important role in improving the quality of life and sustainability of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. Recommendation: The government and relevant agencies need to strengthen access to capital, entrepreneurship training, and legal protection to improve the sustainability of MSMEs and the welfare of Indonesian migrant workers.]]>
