According to available information, the two entered Indonesia on tourist visas but are suspected of engaging in activities inconsistent with the terms of their permits. Immigration authorities consider this a serious matter with implications for regional security and order.
Measures being taken include increased surveillance at strategic checkpoints and cooperation with other law enforcement agencies. Budiono emphasized the office's commitment to strictly enforcing immigration law and ensuring that all foreign nationals in Indonesia comply with applicable regulations.

Things to Consider
Foreign nationals staying in Bali on tourist or other visas should double-check that their activities do not exceed the scope permitted by their visa (such as working or conducting business). It is advisable to always carry passport, visa, and any residence permit documents (e.g., KITAS) in case of inquiries from immigration or local authorities. If there is any uncertainty about visa status, consult the nearest immigration office or a trusted agent promptly.
