BisnisBali reports that Bali’s immigration chief, Drs. I Nyoman Putra, has vowed to sack any immigration officers found to be accepting payments outside of the official tariff set for document processing. Putra said that the official tariff for document processing is posted at all immigration offices and promised to fire any officials found to be charging “additional fees” for immigration services.

Separately, BisnisBali interviewed an unnamed woman who admitted that she regularly uses the services of non-official “go betweens” to save money and time when processing immigration matters. Immigrations documents should be completed within 3 working days after paying the official fee and the presentation of a photo copy of current identity card (KTP), a family card (Kartu Keluarga) and a birth certificate (akte lahir).
