Bali immigration authorities reported deporting 342 foreign nationals between January and June 2026. The most common violations involved misuse of residence permits and overstaying, while re-entry bans may also be imposed in such cases.
The source describes active enforcement of existing immigration rules rather than the introduction of a new permit or blanket restriction. For people planning a move, it highlights the practical risk of deportation for overstaying or using a residence permit for purposes outside its terms, particularly amid intensified monitoring in Bali. The development is most relevant to residents, workers, investors, and other foreigners staying in Indonesia for extended periods. Anyone arranging a stay should take it seriously because violations may result not only in deportation but also in a re-entry ban.
