The movement of ‘Indonesian Diaspora’ abroad has shown significant institutionalized progress since the establishment of Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN) in 2012. The central issue is that Indonesian diaspora is demanding the recognition of dual citizenship from Indonesia, while Act No. 12/2006 regarding Citizenship (Citizenship Law), recognizes the principle of a single nationality and limited dual citizenship only for children. However, the dual citizenship proposal has not yet been politically acceptable, not only because of the historical experience in the past, but also because of the constitutional identity aspect on single citizenship policy. Therefore, the immigration privilege and recognition of some legal rights, excluding some political rights and citizen rights, are practical solutions that are most likely to be adopted for Indonesian diaspora. I call this proposal as ‘semi-dual citizenship’. This article elaborates this proposal with special reference to the Indian experience in the context of ongoing debate over Citizenship Law amendment and also to certain immigration legislation. As a dynamic concept, ‘semi-dual citizenship’ scheme can be seen as a ‘diaspora test’ for Indonesian diaspora that can be gradually developed depending on how this legal scheme can be workable to maintain their social ties with Indonesian society.

自 2012 年印度尼西亚侨民网络 (IDN) 成立以来，“印度尼西亚侨民”在海外的运动已显示出显着的制度化进展。核心问题是，印度尼西亚侨民要求承认印度尼西亚的双重国籍，而第 12/2006 号法案关于公民身份（Citizenship Law），承认单一国籍的原则和仅限儿童的双重国籍。然而，双重国籍提案在政治上尚未被接受，这不仅是因为过去的历史经验，还因为单一国籍政策的宪法身份方面。因此，移民特权和对一些合法权利的承认，不包括一些政治权利和公民权利，是最有可能被印度尼西亚侨民采用的切实可行的解决方案。我把这个提议称为“半双重国籍”。本文详细阐述了这一提议，并特别参考了印度在关于公民法修正案以及某些移民立法的持续辩论背景下的经验。作为一个动态概念，“半双重国籍”计划可以被视为对印尼侨民的“侨民测试”，可以根据该法律计划如何可行以维持他们与印尼社会的社会联系而逐步发展。
