BADUNG, Bali — Eight foreign nationals from five countries have been deported from Bali over a range of immigration violations, including prostitution, overstaying, lacking valid travel documents and failing to pay for goods and meals.

The deportations were carried out by the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center, or Rudenim Denpasar, between September 30 and October 7.

The eight foreign nationals came from Russia, India, Nigeria, the United States and Bulgaria.

Head of Rudenim Denpasar Teguh Mentalyadi said the deportations followed immigration administrative sanctions imposed in each case.

“Every foreign national in Indonesia is required to comply with immigration regulations and respect the law and public order,” Teguh said.

Among those deported were a 36-year-old Russian woman identified as PB and her seven-year-old daughter, ZB.

PB had previously drawn attention after several businesses in South Kuta reported that she allegedly took goods and consumed food while promising to pay by bank transfer, but failed to settle the payments.

Immigration officers later located PB and her daughter at a restaurant in Pecatu on August 26.

Authorities found that both, who were staying in Indonesia on visas on arrival, had overstayed by 318 days.

After spending 35 days at the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center, they were deported to Moscow on September 30.

An Indian national identified as DMIA, 23, was also deported after overstaying by 30 days and being unable to pay the Rp1 million-per-day overstay fine.

He was returned to Bengaluru, India.

Four more foreign nationals were deported on October 6, including three Nigerians identified as TE, 23, EDN, 30, and UPJ, 40, along with a 42-year-old American woman identified as JLH.

TE had previously been detained during a joint immigration and police operation in Umalas on September 17.

Authorities said she was among 13 foreign nationals found working in prostitution while holding visit visas.

EDN had overstayed for three years and four months, while JLH had overstayed for 54 days.

UPJ was found without valid travel documents.

Immigration officers assisted EDN in obtaining an Emergency Travel Certificate from the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta before he was deported through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

The three Nigerian nationals were deported to Lagos, while the American national was sent to Guam.

A Bulgarian man identified as GTH, 49, was deported on October 7 after overstaying by 65 days.

Rudenim Denpasar said all eight foreigners have also been proposed for inclusion on Indonesia’s immigration blacklist.

Under Indonesia’s Immigration Law, entry bans can be imposed for periods ranging from five to 10 years and, in certain circumstances, for life.

The final length of any entry ban will be determined by the Directorate General of Immigration based on the nature and circumstances of each violation.
