Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating the repatriation of 554 Indonesias exploited in online scams from Myawaddy, Myanmar, a conflict zone.

A joint team from the Foreign MInistry, the Indonesian embassies in Bangkok and Yangon, and Thai authorities is facilitating their transfer through Maesot, Thailand. 

“The Thai government is prepared to assist in the transit process,” said Tak Province Governor Chucheep Phongchai, as quoted by the Indonesian Foreign Ministry in a written statement on Saturday (15/3/2025).

Due to security risks, land routes to Yangon are not viable. Thailand will conduct identity verification, trafficking victim assessments, and health screenings.

The Indonesians will arrive in Jakarta on 18 and 19 March 2025, for interviews, rehabilitation, and reintegration, according to antaranews.com. The Coordinating Ministries for Political, Security, and Social Affairs are overseeing their return to hometowns.
