Bali Rules & Respect 2026 | What You Cannot Do

Q: Can I get deported from Bali for working without a permit?

Yes. Working in Indonesia without a valid work permit (KITAS/ITAS) is a serious immigration offense. Indonesian authorities actively monitor coworking spaces and businesses. Penalties include detention, deportation, and a multi-year entry ban.

Q: What are the temple rules in Bali?

Wear a sarong and sash (often available for rent), cover shoulders and knees, don't climb on structures, don't point feet at shrines, menstruating women traditionally don't enter temples, don't use flash photography, and always ask before photographing ceremonies.

Q: What happens if you overstay your visa in Bali?

Overstaying incurs a fine of IDR 1,000,000 per day (max 60 days). After 60 days overstay, you face detention and deportation with a multi-year entry ban. Always extend before your visa expires.
