While residing in Southwest Aceh Regency, said Nicky, LTM was often\nasked for help by local residents because he had expertise in performing\ntraditional healing without charging fees to the community.<\/p>\n
However, while in Aceh, LTM claimed he was unaware that he had\nviolated his stay permit in Indonesia because he had exceeded the\nspecified time limit.<\/p>\n
LTM also admitted that he did not have money to pay the PNBP fine of\nRp1 million per day for the violation he had committed, in accordance\nwith the Immigration Law.<\/p>\n
Nicky explained that LTM was arrested by the Intelligence and\nSecurity Team of the Class II Non TPI Meulaboh Immigration Office along\nwith the Intelkam Unit of the Southwest Aceh Police Resort at his\nresidence in Lhok Gayo Village, Babahrot Subdistrict, Southwest Aceh\nRegency, during the Wirawaspada Operation.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the individual was brought to the Class II Non TPI\nMeulaboh Immigration Office to undergo further examination.<\/p>\n
As of 9 April 2026 to date, the individual has been subjected to\ndetention measures and placed in the detention room at the Class II Non\nTPI Meulaboh Immigration Office for the purposes of examination and\nfurther processing in accordance with applicable laws and\nregulations.<\/p>\n
From the examination results by the officers, the individual has\ncommitted an immigration violation under Article 78 paragraph (3) in\nconjunction with Article 75 paragraph (1) of Law No.\u00a06 of 2011 on\nImmigration.<\/p>\n
Nicky said this foreign national violated his stay permit in\nIndonesia because he had resided\/stayed in Indonesia beyond the\nspecified time limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe overstayed for 237 days,\u201d said Nicky.<\/p>\n
As regulated in immigration regulations, foreign nationals holding an\nexpired stay permit who remain in Indonesian territory for more than 60\ndays beyond the stay permit deadline are subject to administrative\nimmigration actions in the form of deportation and blacklisting.<\/p>\n
