However, the principle held in the Indonesian constitution affirms the ownership of the earth, water, land, and all below and above it is the power of the state, which is intended for welfare, but also takes into account the existence of various types of land rights. The phenomenon of foreign nationals who actually want to smuggle the law by trying to own property rights to land, as well as outsmart the right of use they have, of course, this triggers the urgency of this paper to specifically examine, analyse, and find the dynamics and problems of Land Law in the Framework of Granting the Status of Land Use Rights for Foreign Citizens in Indonesia.
