Many of the children of Indonesian migrant workers do not have legal documents so their prospects for education are very limited. The importance of diplomacy between the two countries can provide access to education for PMI children. The method in this research using descriptive analysis intends to understand, reveal and provide an overview of a phenomenon in detail then summarized into descriptive conclusions through written words from individuals and behaviors observed in the study.
