According to data from Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Indonesian National Agency for Placement and Protection of Indonesian Workers (BNP2TKI), Malaysia was the main destination for Indonesian migrant workers in 2021.

In 2021, approximately 1.62 million people, or 50.03% of all Indonesian migrant workers, were in Malaysia.

Besides being the most popular destination country, Malaysia also had the highest number of complaints from Indonesian migrant workers throughout 2021. In fact, 64 new complaints emerged in January 2022 alone.

On April 1, 2022, the Indonesian and Malaysian governments signed a memorandum of understanding on the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia, renewing a similar agreement that expired in 2016.

After Malaysia, Saudi Arabia was the second most popular destination country, hosting approximately 833,000 Indonesian migrant workers in 2021, followed by Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
