Indonesian immigration authorities have officially imposed a 10-year entry ban on British adult film star Tia Emma Billinger, better known as Bonnie Blue. The Directorate General of Immigration confirmed the decision under the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections of the Republic of Indonesia, which clarified recent statements by the individual to foreign media outlets.
The clarification was delivered by Acting Director General of Immigration Yuldi Yusman, who stated that the restriction placed on Bonnie Blue is not limited to six months, as previously claimed, but extends for a full decade. According to immigration officials, the ban is due to documented legal violations and misuse of her residence permit during her stay in Bali.
“That’s right, [we stopped it for] 10 years, not six months as mentioned in the video,” Yuldi said in a written statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday (22/12/2025).
Official Clarification from Immigration Authorities
Yuldi Yusman emphasized that the immigration decision was taken in accordance with prevailing laws and procedures. He explained that the 10-year entry ban was formally proposed on December 12, 2025, by the Class I Special Immigration Office of Ngurah Rai Immigration Checkpoint in Bali. The proposal was submitted following an internal assessment of violations committed during the individual’s time in Indonesia.
The immigration authority issued the ban through an official letter numbered WIM.20-GR.03.02-19449. The document serves as the legal basis for the prevention order, which restricts Bonnie Blue from entering Indonesian territory for the specified period.
Correction of Public Statements
The Directorate General of Immigration addressed discrepancies between official records and Bonnie Blue’s statements to international media. In those statements, she reportedly claimed that Indonesian authorities had only imposed a six-month restriction. Immigration officials moved to correct the information, stressing that the decision was final and significantly longer.
The clarification was issued to ensure accuracy in public reporting and to reaffirm the authority of official immigration records. The Directorate General underscored that all enforcement actions were conducted in accordance with Indonesian immigration law.
Grounds for the Entry Ban
Immigration authorities cited violations of the law and abuse of a residence permit as the primary reasons for the ban. The violations occurred during the individual’s stay in Bali, where she was identified as a creator of adult content. The misuse of immigration status prompted officials to pursue administrative sanctions, including a long-term entry prohibition.
While specific details of the violations were not provided, immigration officials confirmed that the actions taken were consistent with enforcement measures applied to foreign nationals who violate residency regulations.
