You missed drug smuggling, something that tends to allow you to get into Indonesia, but direct to prison or a morgue - or a prison, execution, then a morgue.

You can also be refused entry (or entry becomes very hard work) if you have too many tourist visas following each other without a gap.
Seen that one happen.

Also - NEVER turn up drunk at immigration. Drunks aren't treated with compassion so leave the booze alone before you travel to Indonesia.

Other advice, it's better not to wear shorts and a singlet when you turn up in Indonesia. Anything any officer takes offence to can be an issue if they want it to be. Casual trousers and a T shirt is good enough to stop immigration looking at you more than is required.

Probably the key one is your last one “ if immigration officer takes offence” that’s pretty much good enough reason for any country

I thought of this thread whilst watching a video clip.
Another reason for rejection is violence and other stupidity. Shouting at an immigration officer is bad news, hitting one is blind stupidity.
The overstay is enough to get her refused for future entries, but this moronic mess will probably see her banned for life ... once she gets out of prison and is deported.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Warning - The idiot in the video uses very naughty words

On a brighter note, the immigration officer was very professional in the face of this very stupid woman.
Congratulations to him for his cool in the face of a very difficult situation.
Sir, you're a credit to your department.

A recent one I seen was during this years Ramadan, two guys from Singapore had been over and it was a Sunday afternoon in a popular bar/ restaurant, anyway they had been pre warned to keep alcohol out of sight from public view as with food (no issues with restaurants etc if out of sight)
A complaint was put in, local plod came down (son of the owner) argument started so police called immigration who inturn fined them along with police 40 million each and deported
Made my Sunday roast and beer taste better haha

Right or wrong, like it or not ...

INDONESIAN authorities have denied entry and will deport an Australian graduate student who was travelling via Bali to Indonesia’s easternmost province of Papua on vacation.

Belinda Lopez, a PhD candidate for Indonesian studies at Macquarie University, wrote on social media that she had been detained at Bali’s Denpasar airport since midnight on Saturday and was told she was on a government blacklist.
Ms Lopez, who was formerly a reporter in Jakarta nine years ago, was set for a solo honeymoon after her husband found himself unable to travel. She had planned to visit friends in Bali and Java before heading to a tourism festival in Papua, according to a Twitter post.


In her defence, I know loads of women who go for solo honeymoons in areas where they've been accused of working illegally as reporters.
It`s very common - NOT

Long and the short - Don`t treat immigration as if they`re idiot - they aren`t.
