Immigration probes Dutch nationals over Bali running event
The Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is investigating a running event in Bali that reportedly excluded local residents. Authorities suspect two Dutch nationals, JAS 35 and HQV 37, organized the event through Entourage Bali. Director General of Immigration Hendarsam Marantoko stated that both individuals, who held Limited Stay Permits ITAS, left Indonesia on July 23, 2026, and have since been issued an entry ban. Foreign nationals are prohibited from organizing or promoting events in Indonesia, only permitted as official crew for international performers. The Ngurah Rai Immigration Office is summoning corporate sponsors and guarantors, identified as PT SIG, to examine their compliance with immigration regulations regarding the foreigners' activities. Hendarsam emphasized that all activities involving foreign nationals must adhere strictly to Indonesian regulations to ensure justice, public order, and the peace of mind of citizens.
