uthorities from Singaraja Immigration Office in Bali deported a foreign national on Saturday for an alleged visa violation during her stay in Bali.
The 30-year-old, identified only as VZ, hailing from the Czech Republic, allegedly worked as a diving instructor in the village of Tulamben, Karangasem regency.
Jamaruli Manihuruk, Head of Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office of Bali Province, said in a statement that VZ was deported for flouting immigration rules.
“She arrived in Indonesia with a visitor visa, but also worked as a freelance diving instructor in Tulamben, Karangasem, which was not allowed in her visitor permit,” he said.
Jamaruli explained that during VZ’s stay in Indonesia, she used a B211A visitor visa, which expired on March 20, 2021. Officers detained VZ over allegations of working without the correct C311-320 temporary stay visa. Due to the mismatch between VZ’s visa and her activities on the island, she was deported back to Prague on a Turkish Airlines flight on Saturday evening.
Along with the deportation, VZ was also recorded on the foreign national offender list and was banned from entering Indonesia for an unspecified amount of time. She is suspected of violating Article 75 of Law No. 6/2011 on immigration.
