On Thursday (November 5), a woman with a Moroccan nationality had to be taken to the Ngurah Rai TPI Special Class I Immigration Office for further information. This is because woman who live in the Kuta area cannot show her travel document (passport) and residence permit document during the operation of the Joint Foreigner Monitoring Team (Timpora). Based on the results of the operation, this woman argued that her passport was still in the travel agent that invited her.
“From the results of the joint operation carried out in the Kuta area, it was found that one foreigner could not show a travel document (passport) and a residence permit document. She said that her passport was on her travel agent,” said the Head of Class I Office of Immigration Communication and Facilities of Ngurah Rai, Putu Suhendra.

Furthermore, he said, this joint operation was a follow-up to the implementation of the online Timpora Coordination Meeting which was held last Tuesday (November 3). The operation carried out related to the supervision of foreigners include checking residence permits, abuse of immigration residence permits, and implementing health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic at inns located in the work area of the Special Class I Immigration Office of TPI Ngurah Rai, especially in the Kuta area.
During the operation, officers also reminded other foreigners about the time limit of stay permits, abuse of stay permits and always comply with health protocols set by the government of the Republic of Indonesia.
