During the examination, he admitted that he did not know that he had overstayed because according to information from the travel agency that helped with the arrangement of his residence permit, he was still able to stay in Indonesia for a maximum of 60 days.

In addition, he admitted that his behavior caused him to cause trouble because he was emotional because the night before he had drunk beer and wine so he became a little drunk. Because deportation cannot be done immediately, this foreigner was transferred to the Denpasar Rudenim.
