Yes of course... sorry for typo/brain fart...

I wonder what happens if the dual national is in Indonesia but at the age of 18 (or 21) does nothing. They don't report to anyone, don't travel outside the country etc. they just continue their normal life. We all pay close attention to govt rules but there are many people who don't. It's possible they don't even have their foreign passport any more. Let's say the family had fallen on hard times and lives in a kampung somewhere.Probably to do with the fact that if you give up WNI citizenship while in Indonesia you are then in the country without status? They didn't put any provisions in the law for what to do in case someone wishes to give up WNI status, but still live in Indonesia immediately thereafter.
The citizenship would be automatically void (if he/she still holds the foreign citizenship). That person could not apply for a passport, and if do, would be exposed for illegally holding 2 citizenships.I wonder what happens if the dual national is in Indonesia but at the age of 18 (or 21) does nothing.

If someone found out, could they be deported? Imprisoned?
I'm guessing this situation must have happened.
Believe me, if in this situation, they will be happy to apply and get the foreign passport ASAP. If imigrasi can not deport him/her they can detain him till the situation is solved. By law, Imigrasi can legally detain a foreigner up to 10 years pending a deportation. It gives a lot of time to fill the forms of a passport application.There must be many dual nationals that never applied for the passport of the foreign country. Or had one initially but never renewed it. So they couldn't be deported I guess.
I thought that a child born in 2020 would be able to have dual citizenship. So, is it correct that I understand that a child born in 2020 will need to decide when they are between 18 to 21 y/o?
In addition, the government regulation also regulate the children having double citizenship as meant in the law, not yet turning 18 ( eighteen) or not yet marrying. The children having double citizenship must be registered by their parent or trustees at immigration offices or representatives of the Republic of Indonesia whose working area covers domicile of the children
Thanks for posting that.Yes. I answered earlier with posting the portions of the 2006 nationality law and the 2007 regulations implementing it. All children must be registered as dual citizenship with the government to be eligable.
Not trying to be a hard-ass but we try to keep the conversations on-topic when it comes to the law section of the forum.This changes a lot for me in terms of planning for my kids' futures.
I mean are there any opportunities here? Can someone convince me otherwise? Please try to convince me.
It's a misconception to believe that our kids are any different than another WNI and/or half citizen. This is something that parents of dual citizen kids have to stop thinking.Possibly it would be difficult to get a lifetime KTP as a dual citizen anyway. They might just issue one up until age 21 (not entirely sure on that).
