DENPASAR, mybalinews.com – An Australian influencer, JP, has been banned from entering Indonesia after creating a flexing content.
The 33 years old man has pretended as investor that owned 1.1 hectares plot of land and a restaurant in Canggu.
JP has uploaded the video in his youtube channel. He uploaded how to become a millionaire in Indonesia and claimed to own land in Bali.
In his content, he also showed a property in the form of 1.1 hectares of land and a restaurant in Canggu, Bali.

The Directorate General (Ditjen) of Immigration found out that the content was fake. Acting Director General (Plt. Dirjen) of Immigration Saffar M. Godam said that after checking, the foreign citizen was not proven to have the land and restaurant as he mentioned in the video.
On Wednesday (18/12), the Immigration Intelligence and Enforcement Team of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, went to the location of the villa and its surroundings to ensure that he did not have land or business in Bali.
Immigration claimed that the content created by JP has the potential to damage Indonesia’s image as an investment destination.
“This kind of content can create negative perceptions among foreign investors. Investors will think twice about investing in Indonesia if there is a lot of inaccurate information circulating,” said Godam, in his written statement, quoted Friday (20/12).
In the video, JP claimed to own 1.1 hectares of land and a restaurant called Penny Lane in Canggu, Bali. Through the video, he portrays himself as a successful businessman thanks to property investment in Indonesia and this is not true.
Then, based on the investigation, he used a visa on arrival to enter Indonesia in the period from 17 June to 7 July and 20 July to 8 August in 2024.
This type of visa does not accommodate foreign nationals to own land or property in Indonesia. So on that basis, he was included in the Directorate General of Immigration’s blacklist.
“As of 21 November 2024, JP will no longer be able to enter Indonesia,” he added.
JP has violated Article 75 of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning immigration because he is suspected of carrying out activities that endanger security and order general by not respecting the laws and regulations in Indonesia. (mybalinews/KAD/ERV)
