SDM first came to Indonesia in February 2024 with a 211 visit visa. “She later changed her status to an Investment Stay Permit (KITAS),” Widiatmoko said.
Although she claimed to have invested in a company called PT SPS, SDM could not provide clear information regarding the investment.
Widiatmoko added that SDM also failed to mention the amount of investment, the location of the company, or even the number of employees working there.
The discrepancy between the information provided by SDM and the facts found in the field, as well as the suspicion that the company she mentioned might not exist, made the Immigration authorities follow up on this case seriously.
