Satpol PP Round Up 45 Non-Permanent Residents in Nusa Penida Who Have Not Reported to Authorities

Satpol PP and the Fire Department of Klungkung Regency conducted a surprise inspection of non-permanent residents, or migrant residents (duktang), in the Nusa Penida district of Klungkung, Bali. The result was that joint officers rounded up dozens of migrant residents who had not reported themselves to the local village authorities.

Head of Satpol PP and Damkar Klungkung, I Dewa Putu Suwarbawa, who led the screening process, said they combed several points in Kutampi Kaler Village and Toya Pakeh Village on Monday night, 18 May 2026.

‘Sidak started at 19:00 and continued until 21:00 WITA. From the marathon identity checks, officers found a total of 45 migrant residents who had not reported themselves,’ Suwarbawa said when contacted on Tuesday, 19 May 2026.

He went on to explain that the joint officers targeted three main locations across the two villages. The first site was in Kutampi Kaler Village, encompassing the Telaga and Kutampi hamlets. The second site focused on the residential area of Toya Pakeh Village.

Specifically, in Telaga Hamlet, Kutampi Kaler, 33 people were found who had not reported themselves. Meanwhile in Kutampi Hamlet, Kutampi Kaler, 16 people had duly reported and 6 had not.

‘In the Toya Pakeh area, officers again rounded up 6 residents who had not reported,’ Suwarbawa added.

Subsequently, the identity cards (KTP) of those who had not reported themselves, or those whose STLD (surat tanda lapor diri) was expired, were seized by officers. The IDs were handed over to village apparatus at their village offices for re-registration and the prompt issuance of a new Surat Laporan Diri.

Suwarbawa emphasised that the population sweep rests on the legal basis of the Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 74 of 2022 on the Registration of Non-Permanent Residents. The move aims to ensure administrative population record-keeping and to map the mobility of residents who temporarily reside outside their fixed domicile addresses.

‘In addition to data management, the operation in the Nusa Penida tourism area likewise aims to avert potential disturbances to public order and safety, and to prevent criminal acts or identity misuse in Klungkung,’ he said.
