Surakarta to deport 3 expats<\/p>\n
Kartika Bagus C., The Jakarta Post, Surakarta, Central Java<\/p>\n
Bangladeshi Mukhtar Khan, 26, Australian Garry John Palmer, 61,
\nand his seven-year-old daughter Tahani Wulandari, are awaiting
\ndeportation for staying illegally in Surakarta.<\/p>\n
Mukhtar who illegally entered the country through Tanjung
\nBalai, North Sumatra, last July has been in the local immigration
\noffice's custody for three months for possessing no passport or
\nvisa documentation to stay in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Munsya Putra Sembiring, an official at the Surakarta
\nimmigration office, said his office had coordinated with the
\nBangladeshi Embassy in Jakarta to prepare necessary documents for
\nMukhtar's deportation.<\/p>\n
Mukhtar came to Indonesia in order to marry Siti Jumaroh in
\nMagelang, however it was unclear where the two met.<\/p>\n
Munsya said Palmer, who married 37-year-old Indonesian
\nTamiyati in 1998, and his daughter were not allowed to stay in
\nIndonesia because they had no legal permission from the
\nIndonesian authorities to do so.<\/p>\n
\"After being deported, the two will be barred from entering
\nIndonesia because Palmer lied when asked about his nationality,\"
\nhe said, adding the two could have stayed in Indonesia if they
\nhad applied to authorities for an official permit.<\/p>\n
So far, the number of foreigners in the city has reached 345,
\ncomprised mostly of Chinese, Indians and Japanese.<\/p>",
