Authorities in Bali have issued a warning that foreigners working without a proper visa risk deportation and being banned from entering Indonesia.
BALI, Indonesia — The Bali authorities have issued a stern warning to foreign nationals engaged in employment without the appropriate visa documentation. Officials emphasized that foreigners working in Bali without a valid work permit or visa face deportation procedures and a potential ban from re-entering Indonesia.
This announcement aims to reinforce Indonesia’s immigration laws, particularly in popular destinations like Bali, where the number of overseas workers continues to grow. Authorities urge foreign workers and employers to ensure that all visa requirements and permits are valid and up to date to avoid legal consequences.
The government is increasing enforcement efforts to curb illegal employment and protect the local labor market, stressing compliance as a priority. Foreign workers are advised to consult with the Indonesian immigration office or their respective embassies to verify and regularize their immigration status.
The deportation process includes immediate removal from the country and a subsequent entry ban, which can vary in duration depending on the offense severity. These measures reflect Indonesia’s commitment to upholding immigration regulations while balancing labor needs and national security.
