Jakarta -A young man from India did unpleasant things while on vacation in Bali. 

He also overstayed and was finally kicked out of Indonesia.

In an official broadcast, Sunday (11/24/2024), the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center (Rudenim) under the leadership of the Indonesian Minister of Immigration and Corrections Agus Andrianto again deported foreign nationals in Bali.

An Indian citizen with the initials VBM (23) for committing immigration violations. Head of Denpasar Rudenim Gede Dudy Duwita explained that VBM first arrived in Indonesia on April 19, 2024 via I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport using a Visa on Arrival (VoA).

He then extended his stay permit, but it expired on June 17, 2024, making him stay in Indonesia for more than 60 days without valid permission, precisely for 91 days.

In addition to violating immigration rules regarding overstaying, VBM also admitted to losing his passport about two months ago while in Uluwatu. However, he did not report the loss to the authorities because he was afraid of the legal consequences that could arise.

During his stay in Bali, VBM lived alone in a villa on Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu, North Kuta District, and supported himself from personal savings and Indian stock trading activities.

However, on September 16, 2024, VBM was secured by the North Kuta Police after being reported by the villa, restaurant, and motorbike rental owners for not being able to pay the rental bills that were due.

He promised to pay after transferring money from an Indian bank account through his friend, but the transfer process was delayed due to a national holiday.

Due to the violations committed, VBM not only violated the articles related to residence permits, but also disturbed public order. On that basis, the Class I Special Immigration Office of TPI Ngurah Rai decided to take administrative action in the form of deportation against VBM.

Because the deportation could not be carried out at the first opportunity, VBM was transferred to the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center on September 17, 2024 while awaiting the process of tracing the whereabouts of his passport and the process of deporting VBM.

Dudy explained that after the foreign national served his detention period at the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center, his party's hard work in preparing for the deportation process finally paid off.

VBM, who had been detained for 66 days, was finally able to depart to his home country. VBM was deported via I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on November 22, 2024, with the final destination being Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport under tight security.

Gede Dudy emphasized that this deportation effort is part of his party's commitment to enforcing the law and maintaining order in Bali.

"We will continue to take firm action against any foreign nationals who violate immigration regulations, especially those who have the potential to disrupt security and order in this region," he said.

"Bali is an international tourist destination that must remain safe and comfortable for all parties. Actions such as deportation are steps we take to ensure that the law is enforced," he said.
