The research method used is Normative Empirical, with the research location in Kupang City East Nusa Tenggara. The research techniques include interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results indicate that the legal protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers  in Malaysia is implemented by enforcing the provisions outlined in the 1990 Migrant Workers Convention and executing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding Indonesian Migrant Workers protection in Malaysia, as well as resolving issues faced by Indonesian Migrant Workers.
