Immigration officers in Bali continue to carry out random checks on foreign nationals as part of their official duties. These inspections are conducted within the working area of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office. The checks are intended to ensure that all foreign nationals comply with Indonesian immigration regulations and maintain proper administrative documentation.
Role of Immigration Officers in the Field
According to information from immigration authorities, one of the key responsibilities of field officers is to verify the validity of visas and other required documents carried by foreign nationals. Officers are authorized to perform on-the-spot inspections without prior notice, allowing them to identify any potential violations promptly.
The procedure serves as a preventive measure designed to maintain order and legal compliance among foreign nationals residing or traveling in Bali. Immigration officers stress that the checks are not targeted operations but rather standard monitoring activities within their jurisdiction.
Focus on Administrative Order
The Ngurah Rai Immigration Office emphasizes that the objective of these checks is not only to identify irregularities but also to ensure administrative discipline. Foreign nationals are expected to adhere strictly to the terms of their visas and other immigration requirements during their stay in Indonesia.
Officials explained that maintaining proper documentation is a fundamental obligation for all foreign visitors. By verifying compliance in the field, officers can address cases of non-compliance swiftly and provide clarity on administrative procedures to those who may be uncertain about requirements.
Continuous Monitoring Efforts
The checks are part of ongoing monitoring efforts across Bali. Immigration officers frequently visit public areas, business establishments, and other locations where foreign nationals are likely to be present. These visits allow officers to engage directly with foreign nationals, review documentation, and ensure that regulations are being upheld consistently.
Immigration authorities highlight that the practice is a routine element of their enforcement mandate. The approach combines supervision with outreach, providing both oversight and information for foreign nationals.
