Why would Immigration need to take my passport?

[William King]

Well, I am at immigrasi now... all seems in order, but will take awhile.

Hope you know from them why they are doing this to you. Why their boss is checking your passport? Did somebody falsely accuse you of anything?

 

[Anglian]

Well hope all goes well, are there any other foreigners there?

 

[William King]

Did somebody falsely accuse you of anything?

I suspect so. However, it would be unwise to say anything publicially.

No other expats here, but I have some Indonesian colleagues supporting me.

Hmmm, I wonder what's really going on. Best of luck to you, Mr. King. I hope you have your passport home with you tonight. Let us know.

I'm home, but my passport has not yet been released to me. My HR manager says it will, he is confident that I have nothing to worry about, that they just want to check a few more things. I.e make sure that I have not been working differently to the terms of my KITAS and IMTA.

The Kepala Seksi of this immigration office admitted that it was not a routine check, actually someone had reported me specifically for working against the terms of my KITAS so that's why they need to investigate.

I have a fair idea of whom. However, this whom has more money and bigger political friends than I could dream of. So I am not in a position to say or do much.

Meaning I was there literally the whole day.

If they lock you up in the Bule Pokey, make sure and get a picture. Would make for a good avatar!

These type of petty complaints are ridiculous. Hope it turns out well.

PM me Willy, I might have a bigger badder bruvva than the one shit stirring for you

 

[William King]

As annoyed as I am by this, getting into a pissing contest is extremely risky, and a zero sum game. Best to solve it amicably, if possible.

Willy,

Have you done anything outside the original intent of your work permit etc.

I'm just wondering who would do such a thing. Envy, jealousy?

 

[William King]

Willy,

Nope, I have been very careful not to.

But essentially, that's what someone has been able to claim, without any evidence. I am now in the process of proving that I have not done anything outside of the original intent of my work permit.

I'm just wondering who would do such a thing. Envy, jealousy?

Cannot really say much. Let's describe it as a kind of revenge due to a business dispute.

Don't get mad, get even!

 

[Puspawarna]

Don't get mad, get even!

A tempting thought but probably ill-advised when the locals hold all the power. I think WK has the right idea.

 

[vocalneal]

I was thinking more along the lines of "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" So my even would be being more friendly towards the grass.

Or tell him you would be happy to work for him instead since you are doing such a great job that makes him so jealous of you?

 

[William King]

Passport was returned this evening.

I doubt this saga is over yet.

Hugs... glad you got your PP back

Yep... it does raise the next question though.... should I stay or should I go?

 

[Bad_azz]

Do what your instincts tell you to do.
Do you have somewhere to go?
