<![CDATA[The increasing number of Indonesian citizens (WNI) departing the country by providing false information (misrepresentation) has become a challenge in the implementation of immigration supervision, particularly in preventing trafficking in persons (TIP) and the non-procedural placement of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI). This study analyzes the legal regulation of immigration measures against Indonesian citizens who provide false statements, the implementation of optimized immigration measures at Citra Tritunas International Port, Batam, and the obstacles and solutions encountered. The study employs empirical legal research using statutory, conceptual, case, and sociological approaches. Data were obtained through literature review, documentation, observation, and semi-structured interviews with officials and immigration inspection officers at the Batam Class I Special TPI Immigration Office and were analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that the legal framework is based on Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration as amended by Law No. 63 of 2024, but does not specifically regulate misrepresentation by Indonesian citizens at the departure stage. Implementation has been optimized through risk profiling, behavioral analysis, secondary inspection, the Immigration Management Information System (SIMKIM), and inter-agency coordination. Key obstacles include limited operational regulation, human resources, inspection facilities, and increasingly adaptive transnational crime. The proposed solutions are stronger technical regulations, improved officer competence, modernized inspection technology, and integrated inter-agency data.]]>
