KMILN

I had asked/made a comment in a youtube discussion (that went unanswered) before why creating another card when I think in the past there were already attempts making similar card I think it was called Kartu Diaspora?

I want to be careful in not derailing this thread, but I think we all know the answer: keeping budgets alive and another skimming avenue.

That said, I am curious to know what other practical benefits there would be. We have a similar "card" with the French Embassy which allows my government to know where I am in case national emergency (natural disaster, war, and the likes) as well as being automatically registered on the voters registry. Reading the link shared by @jstar there is no mention of elections.
 
As so often is is very unclear and contradictory. On one hand, 7 years ago they introduced the concept of the KMILN for citizens abroad. Great, they can open bank accounts and do business in Indonesia, right? Well at the same time they communicate that the new electronic KTP can be requested by citizens living abroad as well. Online even. So what’s the use then?

In most western countries they’re very strict that citizens have to report to the civil registry to delete their names from the city’s registry when going abroad for more than 4, 6 , or whatever amount of months. Then a replacement for the National ID card makes sense if you don’t want to carry and use your passport all the time. Here nobody seems to care and it’s a national sport to stay domiciled on the ‘old address’.
