Abstract
An immigration management information system (SIMKIM) has been established as the primary method of carrying out immigration functions based on Law Number 6 of 2011 Governing Immigration. SIMKIM serves as the backbone of state government affairs in immigration by offering immigration services, enforcing immigration law, ensuring state security, and encouraging the welfare of the local population. This paper presents one issue: "What is the method for enhancing SIMKIM's role in immigration regulation that can rejuvenate the immigration paradigm to increase people's welfare?". This paper examines how SIMKIM evolved from its primary mechanism, which was based on a straightforward computer system, to a legal procedure based on far more advanced information technology. Several ministerial laws relating to the implementation of immigration have included SIMKIM as the backbone of the function. However, none of these legal documents have a substantial binding effect on SIMKIM. In addition, for SIMKIM to be responsive to attempts to enhance people's welfare, it can be constructed concurrently, in conjunction with, and as a complement to the immigration law system. The findings and discussions led to the recommendation that SIMKIM needs careful planning and strategy in its research and development to contribute as effectively as possible to maintaining state sovereignty and enhancing the welfare of its users.
