BALI – The "Bali Becik" Foreigner Monitoring Task Force (Satgas) invites the people of Bali to report foreigners who disrespect regulations through hotline 081399679966. This Task Force was formed by issuing a Decision Letter of the Director General of Immigration Number IMI-0187.GR.01.01 on 23 June 2023 as a follow to the continued widespread violation of laws and norms by foreigners in Bali recently.
Based on data from the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kanwil Kemenkumham) Bali, from January to 23 June 2023, 163 foreign nationals (WNA) were deported. Deportation is an immigration administrative sanction in the form of expulsion of foreigners for not complying with Indonesia's applicable laws and regulations.
The Bali Becik Task Force consists of elements from the DGI, the Immigration Division of the Bali Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, the Denpasar Immigration Office and the Singaraja Immigration Office and the Denpasar Detention Center. Every month the Task Force is targeted to carry out 100 immigration control operations in such a way without hampering the tourism industry.
"So the main problem regarding foreigners in Bali is that some foreign tourists with low spending frequently make trouble. Also, because Bali is considered an inexpensive tourist destination, it attracts tourists with thin pockets," explained Silmy.
As the task force name indicates, the team's formation aims to control foreigners to build a better Bali (Bali Becik). With the construction of the Bali Becik Task Force, which will serve until 31 December 2023, it is hoped that the level of violations of laws and norms by foreigners in Bali will diminish—following the issuance of 12 Obligations and 8 Prohibitions for foreigners by the Provincial Government of Bali.
"We also synergize with the apparatus and other relevant agencies in the performance. With this task force, I hope Bali Becik can come true," Silmy concluded.
