JAKARTA - There have been many stories circulating about various behaviors of foreign nationals during their visit to Bali. Even recently, there have been so many negative stories that have gone viral on social media because of the behavior of tourists who have stayed in Indonesia.

To reduce the illegally settled Caucasians, Bali immigration finally applied a fine of Rp. 1 million per day. The Immigration Office in Bali applies a fine in the form of a burden fee of Rp. 1 million per day to foreign citizens whose residence permit period has expired, but remains in Indonesia.

Kepala Kantor Wilayah Kementerian Hukum dan HAM Provinsi Bali, Romi Yudianto menegaskan jangan ada WNA yang masuk dan tinggal di Indonesia secara ilegal, pada Kamis 4 Januari. Romi Yudianto menjelaskan jika beban biaya Rp 1 juta tersebut berlaku bagi WNA yang masa berlaku izin tinggalnya sudah dan masih berada di wilayah Indonesia kurang dari 60 hari.

And for foreigners who are unable to pay the cost of the burden, they will immediately be deported and included in the list of deterrence from entering Indonesian territory. Similar penalties will also be given to foreigners whose residence permit period has expired and remains in Indonesian territory for more than 60 days.

The provisions related to deportation are regulated in Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration in Article 78.
