MAIN CHALLENGES FOR INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS WORKING IN DUBAI AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
The main challenge for Indonesian migrant workers in Dubai is irregular departure, which makes them vulnerable to exploitation, violence (physical/verbal), and human trafficking, as well as legal and administrative issues. This often occurs because syndicates exploit legal loopholes such as tourist or Umrah visas to send workers illegally. Furthermore, social barriers such as language and cultural differences, as well as a lack of adequate information about official rights and procedures, also pose significant challenges.
KEY CHALLENGES FOR INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS:
• Irregular Departure: Many workers depart illegally through syndicates that offer Umrah or tourist visas to deceive them. This leaves them without adequate legal protection in their destination countries.
• Exploitation and Violence: Migrant workers who depart irregularly are highly vulnerable to various forms of exploitation, ranging from unpaid wages and physical or verbal violence to sexual harassment.
• Human trafficking (TPPO): Human trafficking cases, including forced sex work (CSW), often begin with undocumented departures.
• Legal and administrative issues: Workers who do not follow official procedures will have difficulty obtaining documents, making them vulnerable to legal and administrative issues in Dubai.
• Lack of outreach and information: Prospective migrant workers often do not receive accurate information about official procedures, their rights, and the risks of illegal departure.
HOW TO OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES:
• Comply with official procedures: Follow all official requirements and procedures when applying for a work visa through the correct channels to obtain maximum protection, such as registering with PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI, which is officially registered with BP2MI. PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI dispatches migrant workers in accordance with applicable regulations and laws. We do not offer fast or instant departures. All processes are procedural.
• Report problems: Immediately contact the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate General in Dubai if you encounter any problems. In addition, PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI is also ready to assist migrant workers if they encounter problems or obstacles while working in their destination countries.
• Increase outreach and education: PT. BUANA SAFIRA ABADI continues to increase outreach regarding official procedures, migrant worker rights, and how to avoid fraud, thus protecting migrant workers from irresponsible individuals who profit from migrant workers seeking to work in Dubai.
