DENPASAR, Bali – Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya convened 24 foreign consulates in Denpasar to strengthen coordination and monitoring of foreign nationals in Bali. The meeting underscored his commitment to law enforcement and public safety as key elements of sustainable, high-quality tourism on the island.

Held at the Presisi Hall of Bali Regional Police Headquarters (Polda Bali) on Friday, the gathering included representatives from the United States, Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, and Thailand. Daniel said Bali’s global reputation relies on shared responsibility between law enforcement and the international community.

“Bali is a global destination. Security is our shared responsibility so that tourism continues smoothly and benefits everyone,” he said.

The police chief also highlighted several notable cases involving foreigners, including drug trafficking, fraudulent investment schemes, and cybercrime. He affirmed that Bali Police will act firmly against any violations of law and maintain close collaboration with immigration and foreign missions to prevent similar incidents.

Operations Bureau Chief Commissioner Soelistijono reported that throughout 2025, immigration authorities deported 236 foreign nationals, mostly from Russia, the United States, Australia, Ukraine, and India. He added that several administrative immigration violations were uncovered during inspections at villas and hotels.

During the discussion session, the South Korean Consulate raised concerns over transnational crimes such as fraud and exploitation, calling for stronger joint efforts in law enforcement between countries.

Daniel said the meeting would become a regular agenda between Bali Police, the provincial government, and the consular community. “Such coordination is vital to maintain peace, order, and Bali’s competitiveness in global tourism,” he said.
