Riza Chalid & Jurist Tan: Passport Revoked – What Happens Now?

Passport Revocation Restricts Travel for Indonesian Suspects Abroad

Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has revealed the ramifications of passport revocations for two suspects, identified as Mohammad riza Chalid (MRC) and jurist Tan (JT), currently residing outside of the country. The action effectively prevents their ability to travel internationally or maintain residency in foreign nations, though it does not immediatly strip them of their citizenship.

A senior official from the AGO’s Legal Facts Center explained that while revocation doesn’t equate to a loss of citizenship, it severely limits the suspects’ mobility. “For the person concerned, if the passport is revoked, they cannot travel to other countries or cannot live in other countries,” the official stated in a text message on Monday, october 6th.

Did you know? – Passport revocation is a serious measure used to hinder international travel, but it differs from denaturalization, which involves the loss of citizenship itself.

Individuals affected by passport revocation will be limited to returning to Indonesia utilizing a travel document known as an SPLP – a travel letter functioning similarly to a passport. Furthermore, they face the threat of deportation should they overstay their permitted time of residence in a foreign country.According to the official, the suspects would be considered “illegal” once their passport documentation is withdrawn, automatically invalidating any existing residency permits. “as permit to live in other countries, it must also be revoked by the government because the basis for granting a residence permit is a passport,” they added.

The Ministry of Immigration and Penitentiary (Imipas) previously confirmed the revocation of Mohammad Riza Chalid’s passport. Minister Imipas Agus Andrianto stated the decision was made following a direct request from the AGO and was agreed upon to facilitate the search for Chalid, described as an “oil merchant,” who is believed to be abroad.

Pro tip: – An SPLP (Surat Perjalanan Laksana Paspor) allows Indonesian citizens to return home when their passport has been revoked or expired while abroad.

“From the beginning, I was asked to take action, and we coordinated for the revocation of passports [Riza Chalid]. It was agreed to be revoked,” Andrianto told reporters on Wednesday, July 30th. the revocation is intended to streamline efforts to locate and potentially apprehend Chalid.
