Czech Woman Deported from Bali for Marketing Villa Sales on Visa on Arrival

The Class II Immigration Office of Buleleng (Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II TPI Buleleng) deported a 46-year-old Czech national identified by the initials NKH from Bali on Friday, October 16, 2026, via Ngurah Rai International Airport on Qatar Airways flight QR-963, routed through Doha to Prague. According to officials, NKH had entered Indonesia on a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourism purposes but was found to be marketing villa sales in Abang Subdistrict, Karangasem Regency. The activity was uncovered through Facebook posts advertising the property and a sales sign posted at the front of the building displaying her contact number. Immigration officials said the case emerged from routine surveillance of foreign nationals' activities in Bali. Buleleng Immigration Office head Anak Agung Gde Kusuma Putra stated that all foreign nationals are required to use visas and stay permits consistent with their stated purpose of entry, and that violations would be met with firm enforcement under applicable law. As a result, NKH was subjected to an immigration administrative action in the form of deportation, and officials proposed adding her to the entry ban list, which would bar her from re-entering Indonesia for a specified period. The action was based on Article 75(1) in conjunction with Article 122(a) of Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration. Kusuma emphasized that immigration law enforcement applies equally to all foreigners regardless of nationality or background, and said Buleleng Immigration will increase monitoring of foreign nationals' presence and activities across Bali.
