The Head of Singaraja Immigration Officer, Nanang Mustofa said that Hruska was deported on Thursday (25/3) after a team from Immigration Intelligent Services and Law Enforcement of Singaraja were inspecting the activities of foreign nationals who have been staying in Karangasem. During the operation, they were informed that Hruska was working in a resort located in Abang Sub-district, Karangasem.

“According to our investigation, Hruska came to Bali with a visitors visa over a year ago and the visa expired on February 24th 2021. He has also been working without a proper visa as a marketing manager in one of the resorts in Karangasem as well as a travel agency that is based in the Czech Republic” Nanang said. The Head of Bali Law and Human Rights Ministry, Jamaruli Manihuruk confirmed that Hruska has violated Immigration rules.

“He has been running an accommodation business named Selang Resort located in Karangasem that was funded by his father from Czech Republic” Jamaruli said. Hruska was finally deported early Thursday morning through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta using Emirates (EK 359) which was heading to Prague, Czech Republic. “He was deported for violating Article 75 Number 1 in the Immigration Constitution, and he is also banned from entering Indonesia for the next six months” Jamaruli concluded.

The six month period ban from reentering Indonesia is pretty lenient. Other countries would be like five to ten years ban depending on the severity of the person's case. And probably jail time before being deported.

Why is it that the Eastern Europeans don't believe the laws are directed at everyone not them....

@Neil Gill, well it can be said for Aussies too. It seemed that breaking the law in Bali for example would somehow not affect them (Aussies) while traveling overseas. Australian laws do not carry overseas.

It can also be said for other nationalities including Indonesians with their respective laws traveling in Australia would not protect them should they break the law while visiting.

We have a big problem in Thailand with East European and Russian nationals ( among other nationalities) forging and uttering false documents to stay illegally on false passports, bank statements and working without proper visa's....many international wanted criminals are active as criminals hiding in the community . This ongoing situation is dangerous for legal residents and citizens.
