Abstrak
Immigration supervision of foreign workers plays a strategic role in safeguarding state sovereignty and preventing transnational crime. The increasing cross-border mobility driven by globalization has created opportunities for the misuse of stay permits and work permits by foreign workers, which may be exploited by transnational criminal networks. This study aims to analyze the forms of immigration supervision of foreign workers and their implications for the prevention of transnational crime in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The results indicate that immigration supervision of foreign workers is carried out through administrative supervision, field supervision, and immigration intelligence, which are implemented in an integrated manner. Such supervision functions as both a preventive and repressive instrument to prevent the misuse of immigration permits and the involvement of foreign workers in transnational crimes. However, the effectiveness of immigration supervision remains constrained by weak inter-agency coordination, limited law enforcement against sponsors and companies employing foreign workers, and the suboptimal exchange of information. Therefore, strengthening institutional synergy and international cooperation is essential to ensure that immigration supervision effectively contributes to the prevention of transnational crime
