BADUNG - The head of Bali's Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkum HAM), Anggiat Napitupulu, asked a foreign citizen (WNA) from Germany, Sebastian Powell, who wrote an article about the five-hour queue at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, to leave Bali immediately.

"We gave Sebastian a warning so that he had a visa on arrival which was 30 days earlier. We asked him to leave Bali or Indonesian territory before 30 days," Anggiat said, Monday, August 1.

According to him, the article written by German Caucasians was apparently not based on his personal experience. Sebastian could not confirm when and where the 5-hour queue occurred.

"The person concerned only tells what people say, but he can't be sure when it happened, where it happened," continued Anggiat.

This information was known after the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Bali asked for information directly from the German Caucasian.

"We have asked the person concerned. Currently, the person concerned is still in Bali," he said.

From immigration tracking, this German Caucasian who arrived in Bali from Bangkok, Thailand spent about an hour from getting off the plane to undergoing immigration checks.

"From the results of the CCTV inspection, it only took 53 minutes," he explained.

"The person concerned did not experience what he said in his vlog," continued Anggiat.
