The Ngurah Rai immigration office in Bali deported four Russians earlier this week for visa violations.
In a statement published on Wednesday, the four Russians, identified by their initials RK, AGR, AGA and DG, had all left the country on late Thursday.
"We applied administrative immigration actions toward these four individuals in the form of deportation and prevention [from entering the country]," head of Ngurah Rai immigration office Sugito said in a statement quoted by Antara.
Sugito said AG and RK had been cited for violating their visa in Bali by working as trainers for scooter riding in the Badung area in south Bali.
The two, who visited Bali via visa-on-arrival, were arrested two weeks ago while holding a training for foreign tourists staying in the resort island for holidays.
The Russians were also targeted thanks to internet sleuths who posted photos and videos of their activities on a number of social media platforms.
"The immigration office conducts patrols not only on the ground but also on social media channels," Sugito said.
